Commentary

Ten real Young 88s and 84 virtual ones hit the line at respectively 11.20 and 11.15 local time on Saturday morning, July 10, for Race 1 of the 2021 SSANZ Triple Series on a downwind course in light to moderate airs out the Motukorea Channel, and our Australian friends Tyger and Kipper1258 showed at the front of the fleet straightaway, timing their gybe for the Motutapu shore nicely. A long and pleasant reach out to Motuora Island saw little change in the rankings, but, as always, various virtual vessels came to grief hugging the coast as they negotiated the island's rounding. Back in the Real World , the weather too was benign and the 'craic' mighty! A second long reach, now back to Motutapu proved trickier than the reach out, and some subtle changes in angle had bonknhoot coming into the battle for the virtual podium places. But nothing was certain until the line was crossed as can be seen in calmxy's excellent timelapse production, under the filmstrip below, and even then it took a little while before the server could return the precise order of finish.

And the virtual winner was? Tyger, absolutely roaring around the course in a time of 07:09:34, pipping Kipper1258 by a whole 2 seconds, and Babe, the first Young88 home on the real water, by a more serious 49-odd minutes. Terrific Tyger, but nothing like a good forecast that holds perfect for the day!

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)!
