Sailonline’s legendary Carib Rum Run once again unleashed swashbuckling adventure across the Caribbean! This year, the tall ships were left in port as our SOLers took the helm of their sleek Santa Cruz 70s, racing 1759nm through turquoise seas and rum-soaked islands in pursuit of glory—and grog!

Adding to the fun, and in true tradition, SYC Members could don their finest pirate disguises, sailing under pirate-themed names as they tacked and gybed through treacherous winds and narrow island passages. After a fierce duel worthy of the high seas, QMaxx of South Africa triumphed in masterful fashion, with pepsPV5 of Spain and vida of Brazil hot on the chase.

A race brimming with spirit, strategy, and pirate swagger—where legends were made and rum was the prize! Be sure to read the fantastic report by QMaxx above for an insider’s look at this year’s unforgettable adventure!

Commentary

Another memorable race is now written into the logbooks.
A total of 76 boats set sail on time, with 140 participants eventually joining the event. At the time of writing, 119 have successfully crossed the finish line.
The majority of the fleet began on a western approach, sailing on a starboard tack. Within the first 24 hours, the sailors faced two wind shifts that kept everyone alert. On day three, the fleet encountered a high-pressure ridge but managed to stay fairly compact despite the changing conditions.

By day four, just south of Cape Town, the first major strategic split occurred. A small group of competitors broke away to the west, while the main fleet chose to gybe northwest with the shifting winds. The western group, though trailing by roughly 60 nautical miles, successfully slipped below the high-pressure zone that later stalled the northwestern group for over 24 hours. As a result, the western fleet gained a lead of nearly 80 nautical miles — a margin that held steady over the next two days.
Both groups then sailed under trailing winds, keeping positions largely unchanged until the two fleets gradually converged. The western contingent rejoined ahead of the main fleet, and by day eleven, the leaders maintained an 80-nautical-mile advantage over the pursuing pack.

One notable feature of this race was how evenly matched the leading boats were. The top five contenders reached the finish line within an impressive 11-hour window, followed closely by the next dozen, who arrived less than an hour apart — a testament to the competitiveness and skill across the fleet.

Rome to Tripoli 2025 - RESULTS

CONGRATULATIONS Garagiste !!!
TILLYKKE SKOVSER !! CONGRATULATIONS CriticalHippo !

Race Leaderboard

Commentary

The straight route from Rome to Tripoli without intermediate waypoints suggested a simple and fast race across the Mediterranean. This is how the beginning of this race went, but as we announced, the Mediterranean always offers some surprises. As the finish line approached, conditions became increasingly complicated, causing much confusion among the competing crews. Ultimately, after nearly 87 hours of sailing, Garagiste was the first to cross the finish line, followed by SKOVSER and CriticalHippo.
Congratulations to the winners.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Mogadishu to Suez - REPORT

CONGRATULATIONS FakeNews !!!
GEFELICITEERD bonknhoot !! FELICITATIONS Pecheve !

Race Leaderboard

Commentary

117 SOLers reported on the line for the penultimate and what turned out to be one of the better legs of our Africa By Sea Series, perhaps only bested by the opening leg form Port Said to Tangier. The Red Sea, narrow though it is, like the equally restricted Mediterranean of the first leg, proved to be hard to read. However, early doors, still on the Indian Ocean, two of the usual suspects, CriticalHippo and bonknhoot, nevertheless seemed to have a defendable lead as the fleet entered the Red Sea.

But a great move by FakeNews, Pecheve and a few other far-sighted SOLers saw the leaders come quite unstuck. Tacking for the war-mongered shore of Sudan, whilst the rest just listened to the forecast on the router (radio), proved to be a winner for Fakenews, his first ever on SOL, with Pecheve third, just astern of bonknhoot, but well ahead of early leader CriticalHippo. SuperSOLING FakeNews!

REMEMBER: The Series completes next month with a final leg through the Suez Canal (all the paperwork is in order!) back to Port Said, where it all started back in January.

Mistli's Birthday BBQ Race 2025


Welcome to one of Sailonline's great traditions - the ofttimes slightly untimely celebration of SOLer Mistli's birthday on November 1, by way of a tricky race through the Stockholm Archipelago. To match the day that’s in it, this year correctly, we are providing you with a fleet of sleek 11 metre 1-designs (get it?) to slice through these (at least) 61.5nm of SLI-infested waters, and give you a fair chance that there will still be some beer left by the time you moor up by the jetty at Trosa!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
