Commentary

2020 celebrates the eleventh time Sailonline’s virtual fleet has raced against that of the The Vineyard Race in Long Island Sound, in this classic race organised by Stamford Yacht Club – a race which was first run in reality in 1932.

On race day conditions were breezy and affording a reach from the start into the ‘Sound boding good for a speedy race, both in reality and on Sailonline. Sailonline was racing its J-122 polar for the first time and was hopeful that this would mean it could remain competitive with the main body of the fleet and so it was to be – 90 minutes down-course this is how the fleets were placed:

With tactics in play, the race developed on the way to Buzzards Bay Light and by the time the front runners were rounding the mark, the remainder of the fleet was spread out behind. By Block Island the leading group was forming and the winds in the Sound lured a few to gamble. Read the wonderful report of SOLer Satori, linked above, and you can see how it played out for yourselves!

Many congratulations must go to our podium for taking the top three spots from a fleet of 144 boats flying 30 different national flags. With 18s separating 1st and 2nd and 29s between 2nd and 3rd it truly was a tussle for the win! Once again Sailonline thanks Stamford Yacht Club and the Vineyard Race for awarding Vineyard Race caps to the virtual podium.

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
