Commentary
It has been several years since Sailonline raced the full Norway-Shetland-Norway race although it isn’t summer if we haven’t found our way to the Shetland Islands! This year we partnered with the real race, organised by Hordalands Seilkrets which had a fleet from Bergen to Lerwick comprising of two groups – one returning with us to Bergen, the other heading on to Iceland in the Viking Offshore Race 2018. Perhaps another year we can join them – we’re not unfamiliar with Icelandic waters, after all!

This year’s race was a pretty civilised affair, with slightly trickier winds on the outbound leg giving one or two pause for thought, while the return was, as they say, plain sailing! When this happens, it becomes all the more difficult to find margin, to find a way to cover, to gain positions, as everyone (apart from those who don’t interrupt a good night’s sleep, of course!) is focused on the smallest competitive aspect to gain some advantage. As a result, our series podium trio are to be congratulated for doing just that bit more than the rest of us! Well done! Especial congratulations to SKOVSER as our overall winner, eligible for the book prize from Kjell Magnus Øklund, author of “Oselvar – den levande båten” – a history of the Norwegian clinker built Oselvar boat.

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)!

It’s one of the longer ones 6400nm, more than half way around the world (and the Antarctica). It starts the 2026 OCQ2, and will be sailed in our Steinlager 2, contrary to prior notice.
