Sailonline is pleased to announce that it is partnering with ASTO to bring ASTO Virtual Small Ships Racing to armchair sailors and tall ships aficionados around the world. We are encouraging real UK Sail Training skippers who can’t be on the water to take part too!

ASTO - The Association of Sail Training Organisations - is the UK's National Sail Training Organisation with a membership made up of more than 30 not-for-profit organisations that operate more than 50 Sail Training vessels around the UK. Their mission is to support Sail Training for personal development, which it achieves in many ways, from awarding grants and running SSRs (Small Ships Races) to working closely with national and international sail training bodies to develop, promote and ensure best practice and safety standards in Sail Training.

Restrictions imposed on everyone during the #COVID19 pandemic means that getting out on the water for any purpose is very difficult and in some cases impossible, but with Sailonline’s virtual wind navigation simulator, you can hone your wind nav skills from anywhere on your laptop, tablet or smartphone! The real Small Ships Race, which takes place at exactly the same time around a similar course, only has 4 entries this year.

For the first virtual SSR, Sailonline will be using it’s Class B tall ship polar, based on a gaff-rigged schooner. The course, designed by ASTO, will, subject to winds, be a tricky one in the waters of The Solent, off England’s south coast. Everyone is welcome to race, there is nothing to pay, and in-race you will find there is always someone willing to answer questions in the online race chat. Sailonline’s race will open for practice at 1000utc on Tuesday, 28 September 2020 and will start at 1000utc on Saturday, 3 October 2020.

Roma per Tutti 2026


Sailonline are honoured and delighted to have been asked to partner an online first Roma per Tutti yacht race with organizing yacht club, Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . In real life, this will be the 33rd edition of this 540nm offshore race from Rome’s Riva di Traiano to the Aeolian Islands and back. Online, the race will not only be our first partnership with CN Riva di Traiano, but also the second race of our Magical Mediterranean series. A number of Mini 6.50s have been entered for the 33rd edition of the Roma per Tutti; so our own vintage Mini is also our virtual yacht of choice for this one.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!

It’s one of the longer ones 6400nm, more than half way around the world (and the Antarctica). It starts the 2026 OCQ2, and will be sailed in our Steinlager 2, contrary to prior notice.
