Reports

Commentary
Since 2010 racers on Sailonline have been losing none of their competitive edge while assuming pirate names and speaking in “pirate lingo” and racing a track around the Caribbean in pursuit of rum. The annual Carib Rum Run is not only fun, allowing fancies to fly but is also a means of encouraging racers to support the running of the site by joining the Sailonline Yacht Club (SYC) – our only regular source of income! The race is a PRIZE race, with 12m memberships (or extensions of membership) being awarded to the podium three, and the winner gets a prize sponsored by SOLer RainbowChaser – in 2020 this is again the ever popular Captain Cook replica Magnifier.

Pirate Names

Conventionally the Carib Rum Run is piratical only in the choice of some to change names, but we race a speedy and glamorous yacht. In 2020 our SRC decided that we should go “full pirate” and race a square rigger, so our beautiful Clipper Ships were chosen. Tall Ships are becoming more popular on Sailonline, but even those who love them were dismayed to find sails slackly moving and vessels barely making headway in the lightest of winds from the start – the fleet, flying the flags of 31 different nations, split into three, heading NE, NW and, curiously, ESE in attempts to find elusive breezes. A couple of pick-ups later saw an astonishing break by our eventual winner, WRmirekD, closely followed by Chipspitter (where close is 30nm) while the third podium place went to AL53_SSIta who led a breakaway group far south. The race report from Satori, with its excellent screengrabs, shows just what occurred. Many congratulations to our podium for their impressive success!

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER. This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.

Welcome to the second leg of this Round The World series 2024. It's also the April edition of this year's ocean race championship. The course is the same as the one sailed in 2023, but this year we sail the iconic Swan 65, as suggested in the concluding RTW race last year.
Prepare yourselves for an epic 30-day journey, navigating through the unpredictable waters of the South Seas. It's essential to take care of provisioning to ensure a smooth and enjoyable race experience.
