Commentary
Nine years ago, SOLer PerEric proposed a buddy-up race with a difference – instead of with a yacht club, it would be with the hotel that he and his wife had visited for many many years. It was an unusual suggestion but, at the time, the lure of a prize of rum (which could be sent by post then!) together with the idea of our race being promoted on an aparthotel bulletin board was appealing and, so it was, Sailonline first raced this incredible slalom around the Canary Islands – starting and finishing off Playa del Ingles, Gran Canaria, in sight, in reality, of the Santa Monica Hotel itself. Over the years this race has proved supremely challenging and none more so than in 2019 when the running coincided with the sad news of the recent death of a much loved SOLer, psail. Never again will many of us race this Canary Island slalom without remembering João – for some, of course, he is remembered every time they race.

This year, from the start, the leading group in our fleet of 214 boats flying the flags of 41 different nations, seemed to take flight and made extraordinary progress – many stayed in good contact with them, while others found themselves adopting a more cruising profile. By the time our excellent podium reached the finish they had managed to create a few minutes separation from their followers and only 22 boats arrived within the first hour after our winner. CONGRATULATIONS to all and especially our podium three.

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.
