2013-11-07 10:34:35 - Lake Superior Lights 2013
Pic of the Course


Welcome to the 5th running of one of SOL's favourite races. Sailonline and lighthouses just seem to go together and our fondness probably stems from this race - the first to be purely round a group of lighthouses. This time of year, however, those who sail on Lake Superior in reality will be casting their thoughts back to 1975 and the tragic loss of life aboard the Great Lakes freighter, Edmund Fitzgerald... still a mystery.
<p>
Lake Superior (aka Lake Gitchee Gumee) has to be one of the most inhospitable bodies of water in North America so, raise a toast to the Lighthouses, shown in 76Trombone's blogpost and let's get ourselves ready to go lake-racing.

These are our waypoints:

Wisconsin Point

Michipicoten Light

Caribou Island Light

Stannard Rock

Passage Island Light

Outer Island Light

Chequamegon Point

Ashland Breakwater

Roma per Tutti 2026


Sailonline are honoured and delighted to have been asked to partner an online first Roma per Tutti yacht race with organizing yacht club, Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . In real life, this will be the 33rd edition of this 540nm offshore race from Rome’s Riva di Traiano to the Aeolian Islands and back. Online, the race will not only be our first partnership with CN Riva di Traiano, but also the second race of our Magical Mediterranean series. A number of Mini 6.50s have been entered for the 33rd edition of the Roma per Tutti; so our own vintage Mini is also our virtual yacht of choice for this one.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!
