Commentary
An elongated sea of blue could be seen growing and stretching across the course approximately a third of the way out from Maui to Petropavlosk on Sunday morning the 2nd of December in Hawaii, separating a strong airflow out of the east from a strong airflow out of the west to the north. Where best to cross this was quite a puzzle, even for our router-assisted SOlers. But first a more immediate choice had to be addressed. How best to exit the Archipelago, and without stopping for a BBQ and a Mai Tai or indeed a Captain’s Demise (spice rum mixed with blood orange vodka, cranberry juice and Sprite)? Some went east and some went west and some more through the middle, leaving Moloka’i to starboard and O’ahu to port. After perhaps a week’s sailing, it was the front runners in this latter middle group that went into the lead, as the westerlies hit and started to veer into the north west.

Close in under Petropavlosk a final challenge now loomed – a secondary area of light air was growing and shifting about, with the preferred approach changing from one WX to the next WX. In the end, the SOlers who kept to the east for more pressure as they tacked for the line won out, with WRmirekd keeping his lead on his pursuers Wolff and bonknhoot safe all the way. A challenging race! Well done WRmirekd!!

Roma per Tutti 2026


Sailonline are honoured and delighted to have been asked to partner an online first Roma per Tutti yacht race with organizing yacht club, Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . In real life, this will be the 33rd edition of this 540nm offshore race from Rome’s Riva di Traiano to the Aeolian Islands and back. Online, the race will not only be our first partnership with CN Riva di Traiano, but also the second race of our Magical Mediterranean series. A number of Mini 6.50s have been entered for the 33rd edition of the Roma per Tutti; so our own vintage Mini is also our virtual yacht of choice for this one.

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)!
