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!

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
