Commentary

Another memorable race is now written into the logbooks.A total of 76 boats set sail on time, with 140 participants eventually joining the event. At the time of writing, 119 have successfully crossed the finish line.

The majority of the fleet began on a western approach, sailing on a starboard tack. Within the first 24 hours, the sailors faced two wind shifts that kept everyone alert. On day three, the fleet encountered a high-pressure ridge but managed to stay fairly compact despite the changing conditions.

By day four, just south of Cape Town, the first major strategic split occurred. A small group of competitors broke away to the west, while the main fleet chose to gybe northwest with the shifting winds. The western group, though trailing by roughly 60 nautical miles, successfully slipped below the high-pressure zone that later stalled the northwestern group for over 24 hours. As a result, the western fleet gained a lead of nearly 80 nautical miles — a margin that held steady over the next two days.
Both groups then sailed under trailing winds, keeping positions largely unchanged until the two fleets gradually converged. The western contingent rejoined ahead of the main fleet, and by day eleven, the leaders maintained an 80-nautical-mile advantage over the pursuing pack.

One notable feature of this race was how evenly matched the leading boats were. The top five contenders reached the finish line within an impressive 11-hour window, followed closely by the next dozen, who arrived less than an hour apart — a testament to the competitiveness and skill across the fleet.

Andaman Islands PYOC 2025


The Andaman Islands are an archipelago, made up of 200 islands, in the northeastern Indian Ocean. Together with the Nicobar Islands to their south, the Andamans serve as a maritime boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west and the Andaman Sea to the east. These waters will be the theater of our next 240nm race in the ARCH 2025 series. Which one you choose depends only on you, i.e. your Elan 410 sport will leave the Andaman Islands on the starboard or port side.

Isla San Lorenzo RTI 2025


SOL’s SRC (Sailonline Race Committee) has taken us to some unusual places in the past, and San Lorenzo Island off Lima’s Callao peninsula is definitely another one. Housing a naval base and a penal institution, no vessel is allowed within 300m of its shores. Also, with no sources of potable water, it is a matter of debate whether it is an island at all, and not just a large rock. So, whatever you do, don’t be tempted to BBQ; you’ll be arrested and go thirsty! We return for the first time since 2018 to race thirteen potentially unlucky miles in J-30s; have fun!!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
