Commentary

The Isle of Wight RTI race is iconic, historic, and IRL a congested and difficult challenge with crowded waters, tricky winds and the Solent tides to contend with. In SOL more congestion is welcome, and tides are not in play, which leaves the winds and for some an overnight start time as the biggest headache. Ah, but then there are the Needles, which according to the chat your reporter gleaned several boats navigated on the wrong side of. If you managed the Needles okay there was still several areas of the coast to avoid, and not everyone did. Once everything was settled it was rafa who managed it best. The critical bit turned out to be the navigation in the Solent from Cowes to the Needles. Racing was extremely close as well, with the top 10 finishing exactly 1 minute apart, and the top 6 within 19 seconds. You are encouraged to read the excellent report by Satori above.

With Q2 sprints in the books, it was rafa taking top quarterly honours, followed by CollegeFund and HoratioPugwash. For the annual championship CollegeFund is out front with a nice lead, but HoratioPugwash has a tenuous second place followed closely by CriticalHippo and rafa. With two quarters to go anything can still happen. See you in July for the start of Q3 sprints.

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.
