GRATTIS Jepsom!!! CONGRATULATIONS NZL_Scotsman!! CONGRATULAZIONI RICOTINA!
Race Leaderboard The first time Sailonline raced this course in April 2013, it was with the intention of breaking recently set records by modern boats for the traditional Goldrush run from New York to San Francisco in Super Maxi 100s. A truly epic race, won by SOLer Gilles, with sassy63 and ita10267 on the podium – the winning time was just over 39 days.

This second time the course was run in reverse, again the Super Maxi 100 was our boat of choice, and it was a truly fascinating race in part because it was the first time a memorial boat was racing in her last race, this one in memory of SOLer PRU_britvisc, but also because it seemed to race in three clear sections. San Francisco to The Horn saw a lot of jockeying for position, but we lost SOLer bonknhoot who chose to transit the Panama Canal (earning him a SOL Honours Badge in the process). Rounding the Horn was interesting for many, some cutting inshore through small channels, and others choosing a close-in or a more generous sweep past the South East coast of Souh America. For most the race reset third time with the rounding at Recife for the final run to home. One SOLer, Sadersailing, chose instead to explore up the Amazon – only the second SOLer ever to do so!

This was a magnificent race to finish in the top 50 so our podium three should really carry their heads high – our winner this time an avowed SOTPer (“seat of the pants” sailor, eschewing the assistance of routers). Great job guys!

Africa by Sea 2025 - Mogadishu to Suez

Nearly there; only 2500nm to go, round the Horn and up the Red Sea to Suez into what will more than likely be more headwinds for this sixth leg of our African circumnavigation, to be followed in September by a final sneaky dash up the canal back to where we started all those months ago. We’ll be sailing a not entirely appropriate-for-upwind-work 60ft Trimaran!
