Commentary

After what was an extremely exciting opening to the sprint championship, our SOLers set off once again to battle it out for the top spots, this time in the Sea of Okhotsk!

The course seemed to be rather straight-forward, however, with tricky light weather conditions it didn't seem to be as easy of a task as many were thinking that it would be. Our SOLers had to make a crucial decision at the beginning of the race, whether to take the Kuril Islands to the north or to the south. Many took the southern route, which in turn ended up being the faster of the two, however, with the competition being as tough as it was it wasn't as easy as just choosing the correct side to take the Kuril Islands.

With plenty of close racing and almost nothing to separate our leaders, when our SOLers were first spotted approaching the finish line in the Diana Strait, it was realized at that point that it was going to be a very tight finish amongst the leading pack!

FreyjaUSA and sassy63 who have both been in imaculate form lately both crossed the finish line at the exact same time, to the second, which is often a rare sight! Third place, brewman, crossed the finish line two seconds later to complete our podium!

Congratulations to FreyjaUSA, sassy63 and to brewman on their fantastic podium positions! Congratulations to the top 10 finishers and to all of those who made it to the finish line!

Melbourne to Osaka 2023
Welcome to Melbourne for Sailonline's alternative version of the Melbourne to Osaka Double Handed Yacht Race - a 5000 nautical miler. This year again we're racing the RP-66, but the route is unlimited what comes to waypoints. Because the IRL version does not run this year, we took the freedom to make our own route!
It could be a long race, east or west, and of course some doldrums to negotiate!

Sinbad Seeks Spices 2023
Having surveyed Arabia, Sinbad Al-SOL’er next invites you to race him on his second of seven epic voyages to every corner of the Indian Ocean and beyond, this time to seek spices in Zanzibar, departing from Xaafun, a trading post on the tip of the Horn of Africa since the days of the Mycenaeans and on through Roman times to the Nights of 1,001 of AL-Sail’or, Al-SOL’er’s illustrious ancestor. SOLing by the sun and the stars, aka seat-of-the-pants, the voyage will take you east as far as Praslin island, south as far as Anjouan, to Zanzibar’s Unguja for all things spices, but only back as far as Mogidishu – another exhausting 3000nm adventure, this time in Reichel/Pugh 66s.
