August Sprints RESULTS (1) Principe (2) Moheli 1 (3) Moheli Redux

The August Sprints were again designed by MustangMark to offer a standard and a PYO (pick-your-own) course – this latter style is proving extremely popular. Located off different coasts of Africa, the courses also afforded an opportunity to explore islands with widely differing histories. Just fascinating. Each podium has reported on their races, so please read their contributions below.

The Principe race was strongly competed and the podium are to be congratulated – just ONE SECOND separated the top three. In all 38 boats arrived within 10 minutes of the first finisher. Amazing competition!

The first Moheli running got off to a brilliant start. As a PYO course the merits of N or S of the island were hotly debated. Unfortunately, the gods of electricity intervened and a power outage at Sailonline’s ISP (where a backup also failed) meant that while the race continued on, it was no longer counting for the Championship. Those who remained engaged and who waited out the not-too-long downtime, had the reward of a good race and some excellent matchracing. The podium three did an excellent job to grab the top spots, with just 10 seconds between #1 and #3.

The second Moheli running, the championship race, saw many switch from a S to a N track and due to shifting winds, there was a lot of “play” in the approach to the finish line, requiring some to even contemplate crossing the line back-to-front (which is allowable) to avoid an extra tack! Bravo to the podium, arriving within 5 seconds of each other – a total of 38 boats arrived within the first 10 minutes!!

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)!
