Commentary

"Hope you all had a good beginning of year 2023. Here are the results from our first Ocean Race of 2023 – the iconic Cape2Rio. After a hiatus of 2 years, we again raced with the real fleet, in cooperation with South Africa's Royal Cape Yacht Club. The Sailonline had the pleasure to engage 20 new sailors to the SOL community, for this race. At the start there were 192 boats registered of which 140 started at the gun. Some late registered joined, and the total number of boats were 219, in addition to the real fleet of 16 yachts."

The first two days the fleet was quite unanimous what route to take. On the third day there rose some disagreement, north route or south. The main fleet decided, north is the route to take. The southern boundary of the race area was quite narrow, which perhaps made it less attractive. In the race chatroom there was discussion about difference in ETA suggesting 1h advantage for the north option. Further in to the race the difference in ETA grew, and at the finish line it was over 21 hours. The main fleet was quite concentrated, with 21 yachts over the line within 2 h.

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
