Hi all,

We are almost at the end of a great and long batlle from Panama to San Francisco. I followed a bit of feedback in the chat and I think its nice to hear how you all feel about the race length we provide.

We are looking to host a wide range of races in all sort of lengths. Maybe we can tweak something or give a better preview of what to expect before subscribing, like a rough estimate in days.

Let us know what you think

Hi Jeroen
As a new boy from the BWR I like the lengths of race you are putting on here - I think it's great to mix up the short (Finnish Lake was good) with the long - and I think you're choice of courses is great - Naples to Tripoli very good.
I find the longer races are different tactically to the short ones.
So, I suppose I'm saying that I like the mixture!
Panama SF was great - 2 weeks. Maybe from my point of view one of those a month mixed in with a couple of sprints?

I say like watermaster. The mix is good. Long and short races are different type of tactics.

I like it too!
But it feels like the short races are more pure luck, at least with the 15 sec update. So maby the short races (less than 10 hours) should give lower points?
(maby i should be quiet: my two best results are in short races :P)

Race distance and time to complete is challenging as any race should be. Keep up the good work. Look forward to Route de Rumbe.

Red Eye - Frisian Isles Trophy 2025

For our final “Red Eye” race, we invite you to cross the Noord Zee to the Wadden Zee, where a 160nm course around a few sandy islands raced on SOL only once before in 2010 awaits you. We don’t have a replica of Erskine Childers’ Dulcibella in our boathouse, and in any case if we took her out, we might well contract more than one “Red Eye”, so instead we’ll race our very own riddle of the sands in Farr 400s!

Mistli's Birthday BBQ Race 2025


Welcome to one of Sailonline's great traditions - the ofttimes slightly untimely celebration of SOLer Mistli's birthday on November 1, by way of a tricky race through the Stockholm Archipelago. To match the day that’s in it, this year correctly, we are providing you with a fleet of sleek 11 metre 1-designs (get it?) to slice through these (at least) 61.5nm of SLI-infested waters, and give you a fair chance that there will still be some beer left by the time you moor up by the jetty at Trosa!

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!
