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.

Rapallo to Nador 2026


Welcome to Liguria’s Rapallo, there where Zarathustra spoke - at length - to Nietzsche, for our first race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil. A number of our races in this new Magical Mediterranean series will be partnership with famous real-life races, but this first race is pure fiction - 780nm in refurbed IMOCA 60s, past or through the Balearic Isles and on into the Alboran Sea, to a finish off Nador on the Maroc Mediterranean coast.

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Guam to Ouvéa


The third race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us southeastward now down the Pacific, from Guam’s Apra Harbour at 13.5 degrees North, back across the Equator to the glorious New Caledonian resort island of Ouvéa, on the edge of the Tropic of Capricorn at 20.5 degrees South. It’s 2400nm, and there’s more than a few other islands in the way, so mind where you go in your Ocean 50s. Race #1981
