Commentary

With a start at local 01:00 NZDT time, our first race of our hires 'Red Eye' championships, certainly was a bit of a sleep management challenge for the SOL fleet down under, although once away from the Wellington coast, a well-set series of DCs, at least until the 04:30 UTC weather update. Well-set and judicious, however, they would have had to be, as the best route across Cook Strait was a tricky run on a freeing breeze, softer the closer in to the South Island you went to shorten your distance sailed, and the stronger it stayed the longer you stood out in the middle of the strait.

As it turned out, it was our man from Peru, the renowned rafa, who judged the crossing best to carve out a handy lead at Monkey Rock before the turn in to Nelson. It was now daylight just about everywhere where SOLers so no notable grief was recorded on the Rock and with rafa getting in at his local 20:49:49 PET well before his bedtime, he proved uncatchable. Felicidades rafa!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
