Commentary

The Sailonline virtual fleet was greatly honoured to be afforded the opportunity for the first time to race Italy's premier offshore Regata dell'Accademia Navale in company with the real fleet, in beautiful, although typically rather light, early season Tyrrhenian weather.

With "Officine Gullo Kitchens" as one of the regatta's main sponsor, virtual competitor and one of our stalwarts of the Italian Sailonline fleet, SCARABOCCHIO, the scribbler, came up with the idea of ​​ sharing typical culinary aspects of the regions touched by the race - two meals a day, four courses a day - with wine pairings by fellow online Italian ita10267. SCARABOCCHIO always sails a good race as well, just missing the podium in this one, so under the buttonized Italian ensign above you will find his race report, thinly disguised as a menu card, complete with links to all the recipes and wines.

Back to the racing, which, after the leader WRmirekd, as we approached Capri, missing the turning mark under the south coast of the island and stopping for a swim, became a mighty tussle between Smo, bonknhoot and FreyjaUSA. Trading tacks all the way back upwind to Livorno, it was FreyjaUSA who ultimately took the gun, by just 9 seconds from bonknhoot, and Smo only a further 10 seconds behind. Quite the race and quite a gourmet feast!

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
