Commentary

Well, the last race on the Seven Seas of Asia was quite the exhausting affair, taking the fleet as it did, four days to get from southern Vietnam to the northern tip of The Philippines’ Palawan island, at least another four days to soak downwind through the Sulu Sea and south west along the coast of Borneo to Indonesia’s Serasan island, and a final four days or so to cross back to Vietnam across the Natuna Sea to Dong Yen (which confusingly stands at 0.0056 mid-rate as we speak and is worryingly absent on the electronic charts!). Never mind, we continue with a reflection about the wind which was predominantly light and decidedly variable and thus many dogs had their day, and, equally many mares had their night.

Tough stuff then; nevertheless, 124 of the 156 SOLers who made it to the line on November 4 managed to finish within the 21-day time limit, and for the leaders it was close indeed, every year of the cat or day of the dog being cancelled out by a mare or a stallion, but in the end it was bonknhoot who crossed first, a mere 8 seconds ahead of Patrick70119 after 14 nervous nights (and days). As it turned out P1 for bonk (or 2, 3 or 4) was also what he needed to win the Seven Seas overall, provided rafa finished outside the Top 6, which for much of the race was looking unlikely. Quite the race and quite the series!

Tall Ships Races 2025 - Le Havre to Dunkirk


Welcome to the first of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . The course for this first race is between the French ports of Le Havre and Dunkirk; circa 125nm in Sailonline’s magnificent 90m Barque.
NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

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.
