Commentary

In our second sprint of 2025 and Q1 the SOL fleet visited the Seychelles. 75 boats registered, 5 went on a tour and 51 finished by the race close. With good winds the first boat arrived back in 3 hours 18 minutes. It was CriticalHippo who captured the win by 31 seconds over HoratioPugwash and CollegeFund who were separated by a more sprint typical 2 seconds to round out the podium. Within a minute 9 boats had finished. With a near fatal error at the first rounding click the report to find out how victory was grabbed from certain defeat.

For quarterly honours CollegeFund has a commanding lead with one race to go. Anything can happen in a sprint, but for now it's time to rest with the next sprint a month away. See you in March.

Commentary

The first Ocean Race of 2025 was nothing short of unforgettable! A fleet of 192 brave skippers embarked on this 6,900nm journey, and as of this writing, 137 have successfully crossed the finish line. What was expected to be a straightforward drag race turned into a complex tactical battle, with four distinct strategies emerging—along with countless variations in between.

The winning approach? Meticulous planning (=delayed start)? and a bold westward push. The most successful sailors sailed close to Cape Branco, Brazil's easternmost point, before venturing even farther west, reaching as far as 46°W. This detour stretched their journey to an astonishing 8,500nm but ultimately proved to be the fastest route.

Others gambled on a more direct path, hugging the waters near Cape Verde and the Canary Islands. However, persistent headwinds crushed their hopes, demonstrating just how unpredictable this race turned out to be. The scattered arrivals tell the story: only 14 competitors reached the finish line within the first 24 hours, followed by a staggering 15-hour gap before the next wave of finishers. A race full of surprises, strategy, and shifting winds—truly a thrilling start to the 2025 ocean racing season!

CONGRATULATIONS CollegeFund !!!
CONGRATULATIONS Never_Again_11 !! CONGRATULATIONS vida !

Race Leaderboard

Commentary

In the first sprint of 2025 88 Solers registered, 73 sailed and 72 managed to finish. The series is off and running. With no disappointment at the finish off Disappointment Island CollegeFund managed the first victory. Filling out the podium was Never_Again_11, and vida who managed to nip bonknhoot by 1 second. In typical sprint fashion the top 10 finished within 44 seconds.

The question to answer was head North or South. South proved the right choice along with navigating the straight keeping Adams Island to the south. Tune in to see what happens as the series continues in the Seychelles!

The return race after New Year from Hobart to Sydney saw WRmirekd back in top condition and atop the podium bettering his third last year. Rounding out the podium was mb007 and new Soler KaSToR who is already making a name for himself on the podium. This year 134 Solers registered, 121 sailed from Hobart and 109 reached Sydney.

This year the Tasman Double series was captured by WRmirekd, Kipper1258, and rafa. Well done. See you next year.

Organized by the Royal Akarana Yacht Club, the race last occurred in 2018 and was set to resume on May 25, 2024, after a lengthy hiatus.

Tyger Memorial Race 2025

Dear Robert Neilson, gone too soon, but, a volunteer crew having brought his Tyger home in our first Ocean Race of 2025, here is a further opportunity to remember him and his great contribution to Sailonline, by blasting around an 80nm triangle on his home waters of Port St Philip Bay in spanking-new-to-SOL very-Robert very-macho, grind-greedy Cookson 50s. Tell tales of his derring-do in Chat or add something for posterity to his Tyger IN MEMORIAM Forum page. Sail on, SOLer.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Dondra to Toamasina


Above you see a stratospheric balloon, that if only we had gribs at that altitude would get blasted along quite rapidly and predictably. Alas we just have our SOL balloon that sails rather lower to the sea and that we have crossed the Atlantic in, west to east, last year for the first time in the southern hemisphere. So much fun was had by all, that this year we will attempt the Indian Ocean, but in four legs. Another great piece of fiction, the voyages of Sinbad By Balloon not magic carpet, although you may need a bit of magic to make any progress at times. Pack your wicker basket full for your first leg of at least 2300nm from Sri Lanka to Madagascar; it’s not a picnic hamper, you could be in the air for longer than you hoped!
