Commentary

One of the many great things about online sailboat racing is that no matter the weather, the race always goes ahead, and so, in what must have been wild and windy conditions, exactly 100 SOLers in 100 identical TP52s reported on the starting line off San Diego for a race that IRL got canned. Another great thing about online sailboat racing is that no matter the weather, no gear failure ever occurs, and so, contrariwise, the harder it blows, the sooner the race is run, and the less retirements due to fatigue or ennui ensue, which on this occasion meant that 94% (easy maths) of the boats that started finished.

A quick race then, and indeed the leaders got around the island skirting course in just over twelve hours, or an average speed over the ground of about 12 knots. Fair going, but Pyewacket, if she'd been out IRL, would undoubtedly have bettered her existing monohull course record of 10:49:52 by several hours. Be that as it may, online, it was the redoubtable WRmirekd, who set a new SOL course record of 12:14:44, a mere 3 seconds quicker his dead-heated podium pursuers!

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.
