Commentary

This time for our sixth Seven Seas of Asia race, SRC sent us out in Ker 40s, nice, no-holds-barred speed machines from Australia’s McConaghy Boats. The Java Sea, like the Mediterranean, enclosed on all sides by land, islands in this case, can be stormy, but mostly not, as we noted on a long upwind leg from Jakarta to Selayar. Wind direction appears to be steadier in the Java Sea than in the Med though, so, perhaps as we rounded Selayar and started on the downwind leg west to Bangka, one or two of us were wont to reflect how ever did those ancient thalassocratic empires (of the sea, see Venice) and sultanates like Majapahit and Mataran control their far-flung shores. Rowing also one supposes, but no oars aboard a Ker 40, so we sailed on!

And then came the moment that decided the race – whether there was going to be even less wind north or south of Belitung! For days, it had been sometimes north and sometimes south that promised less or more. The last forecast before the bets had to be placed reversed the prior picture, but three brave souls ignored it, and kept their faith in south. Their reward was handsome, and they romped in 1-2-3, several hours ahead of the peleton. Mighty and masterful!

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)!
