2020 Q3 SRC Report

Whilst the pandemic has declined in most western countries this is not the case across the World and indeed in some countries it has come back as a second spike. It would seem that at least northern latitude countries are not clamouring for replacement virtual races from SOL or, if they are, they are fitting into our existing offerings where we have seen increased participation. Or they may just be laying up their yachts for the winter.

Turning now to the results for the Series racing in 3rd Quarter they were as follows. Ocean Series. With our three races for this Series – ‘Auckland to Uruguay’, ‘Maryland to Alaska’ and ‘Melbourne to Osaka’ we took our sailors twice to the Southern Ocean with a sail over the top of Canada in the middle.

The Auckland race formed part of our Round the World Series in our 125’ catamaran this time over about 23,500 nautical miles. We offered the sailors a chance to navigate the inner channels at the tip of South America and many yachts took up this invitation. This race was won by SimeMali with NagaJolokia chasing him and Leelu22 in third.

The saunter over the top of Canada proved to be a light air affair much of which was on the nose in our 90’ monohull. The race was … Report continues here

San Diego Islands Race 2026

Sailonline is proud to once again partner with the San Diego Yacht Club for the annual Islands Race! This iconic offshore challenge spans approximately 140 nautical miles, starting in Long Beach, rounding the Catalina Islands, and finishing in San Diego. Shifting coastal winds and tactical island roundings will test every sailor’s judgment and nerve.

This year, our SOLers will race the Ker 40, a proven high-performance design by Jason Ker and built by McConaghy Boats. Fast, responsive, and demanding, the Ker 40 rewards precision and smart strategy. The competition will be tight. Every decision will count. See you on the start line!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Samoa to Hawaii

The second race of our new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, takes us northward again up the Pacific Ocean, now from Samoa at 13.5 degrees South, across the Equator to Hawaii, famed for its breaking surf and active volcanoes, on the edge of the Tropic of Cancer at 19.5 degrees North. It’s 2300nm, so we’ll take our very steady Steinlager II. Race #1982

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia

Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!

West Papua to Oregon 2026

Our next race in our Ocean Championships is the first of a series of great natural migrations we will track in 2026. The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed marine reptile on planet Earth, and chooses to breed in warm tropical waters, but prefers to forage in more temperate habitats, travelling thousands and thousands of miles effortlessly annually to maintain this way of life. Our race will follow one of the typical trips of this turtle, from breeding grounds in the seas off West Papua to the coast of Oregon. It’s only 5900nm, so to keep up, but in comfort, we’ll follow in our Gunboat 90.
