Reports

Commentary

This race saw us coming to the Aland Sea for a Timed Race. Luckily for us, the SOL boats are unaffected by the presence of ice that is normally present in this area in February. However, there were still many factors to keep things interesting. The triangular course, for instance, meant that there were several possibilities for an optimal wind angle/wind shift to take place. Additionally, the numerous islands around the start/finish corner had to be routed around as well; these islands certainly claimed a number of attempts from those who weren't careful!

Each Wx update presented potential windows for the optimal run; small changes in wind angle and wind speed meant that some of them didn't materialize. For some time, it seemed like those runs on 24 February would have been the winners, but the Wx update on 28 February provided a small window with just enough angle and pressure to improve on those times. It was Sax747 who did this best, starting at 2.30am UTC to finish with a time of 6:38:18, with rumskib and Pit8008 starting a few minutes apart and finishing just 9 and 20 seconds slower, respectively. Well done!

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
