Commentary
”Once upon a time” is how all good stories start, and in 2013 we saw Sailonline’s first SOLer-crewed and owned yacht, Jubilant, race to success in the Rolex Fastnet Race of that year and you can read about that adventure here. All good stories tend to have sequels, and Jubilant’s second campaign to race in the Fastnet Race 2019 is well under way with her crew, still including SOLers, successfully qualified for the race by completing the Myth of Malham Race last weekend. The story of Jubilant’s 2019 campaign can be read here. Racing from Cowes, around the Eddystone Lighthouse, and back is something Sailonline does “just anyway” and so it was that the racing calendar saw our virtual fleet racing our Jubilant Race 2019 close enough to the real event for us to keep an eye on Jubilant – you can see the images above.

Our virtual race had a pretty drifting start out of the Solent and into the Channel and the decision was always going to be a flip of a coin between staying close-ish to shore and the shorter course distance vs heading a bit more offshore and risking wx coming in off the Atlantic into the English Channel! As ever, this was a hotly contested affair, with racers flying the flags of 29 nations taking part and our three podium place takers are to be congratulated for arriving at the front of a competitive fleet. Well done, guys!

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.
