Reports

Commentary

This race was fairly straightforward, with favourable winds, three wind shifts, and seven tacks. Covering 2,300 nautical miles in just eight days, the fleet maintained an impressive average VMC of 12 knots—quite a fast pace for the Steilager II.

The only moment of real tension came on day six, when skippers faced a crucial decision: whether to pass east or west of South Georgia Island. While about half the fleet had already committed to their routes, the rest remained undecided until the last moment. Eventually, around a quarter of the competitors opted for the western route. Though initially trailing, this group managed to close the gap with the frontrunners thanks to their strategic manoeuvring

A total of 114 skippers set sail on time, with another 46 boats joining later. At the time of writing, 144 had successfully crossed the finish line. The intensity of the race was highlighted by the fact that 54 boats finished within just one hour—an incredibly tight competition from start to finish.

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.
