Commentary
Sailonline was delighted to become the official virtual “buddy” for the inaugural Brisbane to Hamilton Island Yacht Race, sponsored by Lendlease and organised by Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron and what a brilliant race it was! As is now customary with RQYS races, there was a superb livestream and commentary for the start and with the real fleet brought on-screen, it was fun to observe the performance of the real yachts. Their results can be found here

SOLers flying the flags of 28 different nations took part in the race which started at 0100utc which meant that for those in Europe, unless they were dedicated enough to stay up into the early hours of the morning, they were going to have to use delay commands. The Brisbane departure is always tricky and it was clear that several racers decided to delay their start until they were awake rather than find that they had missed a mark and needing to backtrack. To do this is clearly a choice, but it is always better to start with the start of the race and if you are uncertain of your ability to set accurate DCs then simply stop your boat with a TWA=0 at point of your choosing, then when you are able to steer again, you are where you planned to be!

Our top three were clearly made of stern stuff as, all from Europe, they showed us how to race up Australia’s Gold Coast! Arriving within moments of each other, this was another brilliantly competitive event. Bravo guys!

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)!
