Commentary

Another race has now been written into the logbooks—this one marked by calm consistency rather than dramatic shifts in strategy. The fleet sailed in tight formation throughout, with no significant tactical deviations to set boats apart. Favorable winds graced the first half of the course, offering sailors beam to broad reaching conditions. The latter half, however, brought strong headwinds, turning the race into a grind toward the finish. Despite the challenge, the competition remained incredibly close: the top 10 boats crossed the line within just one hour of each other, with the podium places decided by a mere 15 minutes.

The leaders sailed approximately 4,400 nautical miles over a 4,100nm great circle route—indicating a relatively direct course with minimal detours. The winning time of 10 days and 6 hours translates to an impressive average speed of nearly 18 knots.

By the time of writing, 114 out of 127 participants had completed the journey—an excellent turnout for a race that demanded focus and endurance over flair and risk.

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.
