Commentary
Racing a TransAt is always a heap of fun as the N Atlantic, at any time of year, can prove challenging. These days, with changes in climate impacting ocean winds, traditional crossings aren’t always the quickest any more. This TransAt was set up without much notice following some webserver issues with our originally planned TransAt from Miami to Lisbon. During the course of that race, Sailonline learned of the death of a long standing SOLer, psail, so in his memory we raced one of the courses he designed around Lisbon (all info here) but for many, the setting up of this impromptu TransAt became an opportunity to celebrate Joao’s life, by racing as well as possible. Joao was the epitome of an ocean sailor on Sailonline, relishing the challenges such races hold, particularly as it was for ocean navigation simulation that Sailonline was originally designed.

Unfortunately, yet again during this race, Sailonline’s webserver encountered some problems, and while these didn’t have a major impact on either the race or the finish lineup, it was decided as a matter of policy that the championship rankings for this race would be set aside. For those undeterred by the interruption, as the boats continued sailing on their previously set courses, it was considered a virtual equivalent of a storm damage to steering, and it was excellent to observe the determination to race on to the finish in Plymouth. Many congratulations, then, to our podium for securing the top three spots!

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)!
