Commentary
Over the years Sailonline has raced to and around Hawaii but it has never had the privilege to be buddied with one of the host yacht clubs who run the real races to Hawaii. While #COVID19 is locking the world down and changing the way so many of us live our lives, including those who ocean race, Sailonline is fortunate to be able to continue its racing unchallenged and, moreover, is sufficiently flexible an organisation to work with those yacht clubs who have had to cancel their events. One such is Pacific Cup Yacht Club, the organisers of The Fun Race to Hawaii who had had to abandon their biannual event from San Francisco to Hawaii and, learning of our NavSim, decided to host a virtual event.

From the moment the starting gun fired, the fleet of 397 registered boats, flying the flags of 43 different nations, were on fire – the camaraderie and tales of previous real races together with the swapping of navigational tips between those new to Sailonline and our “old hands” meant that the 10-day race was perhaps one of the most entertaining and enjoyable we have ever raced! Read the wonderful reports linked above to see how some of our racers felt! Hopefully by 2022 the real racers will be back on the water but, if Sailonline is allowed to race the virtual event again, we will most certainly be following your progress!

Many congratulations to our podium three of two frequent racers on Sailonline and one top SOLer who recently returned after a break – but the top group were a perfect blend of real racers and SOLers. Well done to everyone who completed the race with spirits and energy intact - MaiTai’s in Kaneohe were waiting for everyone (see JokerForever report!).

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.
