Port Huron to Chicago 2024

At the end of the third quarter of the ARCH series, we invite you to participate in a nice regatta with RC44 on the Great Lakes in the USA. We sail 460nm from Port Huron across the lakes to Chicago.
Throw away unnecessary ballast from your boats. Fresh water has less buoyancy, which means greater draft and greater resistance to movement, which means lower speeds, etc.😊

The Beagle in Tahiti 2024

Leaving the Galapagos behind, the course was west again, and by November 15th the Beagle reached Tahiti. Like Gauguin, sixty years later, Darwin found the natives, recently Christianized, pleasant and intelligent, but unlike Gauguin, this did not persuade him or his captain, Fitzroy, to tarry long. Let’s have a sail-around in 2024 anyway; 640nm, as ever in the Class B Tall Ship HMS Beagle.

Just as Skip Novak was embarking for Kamchatsky, Amyr Klink also quietly slipped his Antarctica moorings and by now Paratii 2 has reached Reykjavik, where he invites you to join him on Leg 5 of our High Latitudes Series, a full 3650nm circumnavigation of Greenland. The course is clockwise round, so down the North Atlantic to Cape Farewell, then up the Davis Strait into Baffin Bay and on into the Arctic Ocean proper, where, hopefully and certainly virtually, Paratii 2’s special ice-breaker features will get us thorough the summer ice out onto the Greenland Sea and back to Reykjavik.

Pico Island TIMED Race 2024

900nm due West of Lisbon you’ll find Portugal’s Azores Islands where SOLers have been known to come and go, both IRL and on-line. Marking the junction of two major tectonic fault lines – the North Atlantic Ridge and the zone where the African and Eurasian plates meet – it is a seismically hyper-active place, but warm and verdantly beautiful with one rain-laden depression after another rolling over its ash-fed hillsides. If it wasn’t for the pods of whales mooching about offshore, at sea might be the safer place to be, but let’s go racing anyway – 53nm round Pico, this year in Mini 6.50’s. This is a TIMED race, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.

The Beagle in the Galapagos 2024

It took the Beagle a further fifteen months of adventure and exploration to, on September 15, 1835, reach the Galapagos Islands, whose populations of giant tortoises and iguanas and finches and mockingbirds of great variety from island to island were such a significant inspiration to Darwin formulating his Theory of Evolution. It won’t be a retrace of his peregrinations, but here in 2024 an interesting 500nm course will take you by most of the archipelago’s islands, in your very own Beagle, a Class B Tall Ship!

SOL's Balloon Transat 2024

Sailonline offers a huge variety of boats to sail in. One of the more unusual ones has got to be SOL's Balloon, which was polarized by past SOLmaster 76Trombones. Notably, the SOL Balloon will actually ‘sail’ in other directions other than straight downwind, although it will not 'sail' over land or beyond a 'beam reach'. This year we have a new course to challenge all you aeronaut’s and we will be taking the Balloon across the Southern Atlantic from Cape Horn to 'land' it in the Cape of Good Hope. Tips: Wait for favourable winds before launching and set DC aware predictor to maximal length.

Neumayer Station to Biscoe Wharf 2024

It’s Autumn now in Antarctica, the sun is permanently below the horizon, but during the day, from c 0900 to c 1700 local time, there is some twilight – nautical twilight, not to be confused with civil twilight which is brighter. The penguins are starting to huddle together to keep warm and the sea ice is growing. Time to get back to Biscoe Wharf then, before the water becomes impassible. Including a detour past Argentina’s main two Antarctic stations, it’s only 1900nm, so, although we’ll be in a hurry, we will take the bigger, better ice-classed Paratii 2 once more, just to be sure!

The Beagle in the Falklands

Having seen enough of the Cape Verdes, the Beagle sailed on into the west, and after a one-day stop off the mid-Atlantic isle of Fernando de Noronha anchored in the Bay of All Saints off the Brazilian mainland on the 28th of February. From there, the expedition very slowly worked its way onward and southward, surveying and exploring, to reach the Falkland Islands more than a year later. Notwithstanding that they only stayed briefly in the Falklands, in 2024 we will sail our virtual Beagle, a Tall Ship Class B, 470nm round and about the islands’ bays and straits, but mind the kelp forests that so impressed Darwin, don’t slow you down!

Flight of the Godwit - Wellington to Hegura 2024

Bar-tailed godwits can fly about 6500 nm without resting - further than any other known bird. They fly at about 32 knots, which means this 5000 nm leg would be done in a week. We won't be able to accomplish that, although we will sail our fast Maxi trimaran. This race is the first of three legs reflecting the migration routes of the bird, and the third leg of the 2024 Ocean Race Championship. The voyage promises to be not only a test of skill and strategy but an immersive experience in the beauty of the archipelagos of the western Pacific. Join us as we push the boundaries of seafaring prowess on this epic adventure. Let's fly like a godwit!

Lac Manicouagan Ice Race 2024

Back in 2013, SOLer FR_cirrus introduced us to the meteor-impact crater lake of Manicouagan in northern Quebec province, at 100km diameter the 5th largest such geological feature on the planet. We speculated then that the impact was perhaps the one responsible for the dinosaur extinction, but at 215m years ago that is wrong, and generally that result is attributed to the 65m year old Chicxulub impact on the tip of the Yucatan peninsula. Last time, we raced the 138nm ‘rond la lac’ in Platu 25s, but it’s winter and there’s ice, so let’s take our no-performance-loss so no-holds-barred DNs instead, and get back indoors quickly.

Lake Peipus Ice Race 2024

When, after converting and conquering the pagans of the Estonian marches, the Teutonic Knights in 1242 decided to march on their heretic Orthodox fellow-descendants of Viking settlers, the Varangian Rus, they met their match on the ice of Lake Peipus. With the ice too thin to support the iron-clad knights and their mounts, many were taken by the waters and many more by the archers of young Alexander Nevsky, the Prince of Novgorod. But never mind all that, 100 DN ice yachts on skates eschewing performance loss are a different matter to 1000 knights hobbled by armour on horseback, so let’s race a 95nm lap on the ice instead.

Indestructible little boats, cold weather, and serious short sharp races of 10 to 20 minutes duration combine to create great comradeship. Sailonline now invites you to experience the joys of the Dhow in winter, virtually, by way of a slightly longer 14nm race: from Mamaroneck to Execution Rocks, over to the Gong Buoy and back to Mamaroneck.

SOL's Bermuda Triangle TIMED Race 2023

Inspired by the America’s Cup racing in Bermuda, this is a fun triangular course of 90nm, which we originally raced with psail and bonkhoot’s collaborative polar for the AC72 foiling catamaran. Having tried the course in the more pedestrian Open 60 in 2021, this year we return to the AC72, in fact to the MODIFIED AC72v2, modified to remove the inconsistencies that obtained from the original interpolation of the limited data issued by the AC 2003 Principal Race Officer in connection with penalties determination. This is a TIMED race, which means you get multiple chances to try out the ramifications of the revisions. Be careful though, the polar remains a handling challenge with major stall-out potential!

Finland-Sweden Archipelago Raid 2023

In 2013, SOLer "JakeS" in cooperation with "Smo" created his own version of the extreme Archipelago Raid catamaran race. The real race through the beautiful Finnish and Swedish archipelago is considered a "nightmare and a great adventure", so in our sixth run of this challenge at 415 nautical miles, our determination and skills will be tested again! This year, we changed the Italia14.98 to a Cape 31. Take care when cornering and brake early enough.

Abel T Appreciation Race 2023

Welcome to Tasmania and let's sail back in time for a moment.
In December 1642 after a challenging and rough voyage, the Dutch seafarer and explorer, Abel Tasman, made landfall at a spot he named Staten Landt, believing he had arrived on the coast of Argentina. In fact, he had arrived in modern-day New Zealand. Out of love and respect for this brilliant seaman, Sailonline is retracing his route from Tasmania to New Zealand.

The Vineyard Race 2023

For the 14th year in a row, Long Island's Stamford Yacht Club invites all SOLers to participate virtually in their iconic annual overnighter from their club line out the sound to Buzzard's Bay Light near Martha's Vineyard Island and back again, leaving Block Island to starboard. And for the 3rd year in a row, Sailonline is making their J-122 polar available to competitors, a yacht that should get you round the c 250 nm course almost as fast as the previously preferred Santa Cruz 52, if at slighter hotter downwind angles.

Maryland to Alaska 2023

Welcome to this September edition of 2023 OCCH. This route was first sailed in 2020. At the time it was inspired by Matt Rutherford's single-handed Red Dot Expedition around the Americas in 2012, SOLer Renegade proposing a half-around from Maryland over the North into the Pacific and back through the Panama Canal, in 5 legs, 5 years later. Leg 2 across the North West Passage proved to be particularly challenging and so to create a proper Ocean Race, SRC combined Leg 2 with Leg 1 to give you a race of at least 4000nm from Maryland to Alaska, now to be sailed in our magnificent Archer 78.

Cape Town to Auckland 2023

Welcome to this second RTW race 2023. It's also the June edition of this year's ocean race championship. The course is slightly different from the one sailed in 2020, which then also was part of the RTW series.
This time we will race in the IMOCA 60 foil, as in all RTW races this year. That should guarantee the fun in the South Seas in a truly tough race.

Colin Archer Memorial Race 2023

Colin Archer was born at Tollerodden in Larvik, Norway. He was a naval architect and shipbuilder known for his seaworthy pilot and rescue boats and larger sailing and polar ships. His most famous ship is the Fram, used on both Fridtjof Nansen's and Roald Amundsen's polar expeditions. In honor of Colin Archer's achievements, a peninsula of the great uninhabited island of Devon (Nunavut) was named after him - the Colin Archer Peninsula. Every two years, sailors from different countries participate in the "Colin Archer Memorial Race". They start from Lauwersoog in the Netherlands and, after covering approximately 375 nm, reach the finish line in Larvik. We will run our version of the race in Farr 38's through still chilly waters. Fair winds!

Sinbad Strikes South 2023

The Sultan heard tell of fabled islands where in Summer the sun barely sets. Never mind Winter approaches, the Sultan’s next mission for Sinbad is to seek these fabled islands out, and return to Africa with a full report. It is likely to be no longer than 2900nm, but conditions will be harsh, so the Sultan has free-issued a sumptuous, sturdy, more sedate Xp55, designed by Vikings, for this fourth of Sinbad’s seven voyages. Expect to be at sea for three weeks odd!

Tour de Belle Ile TIMED Race 2023

This 45nm TIMED race around SOLer Tarco's home island of Belle Ile was first proposed by him in 2014. This is our fifth round of racing this course and we are going to use Seacart 30s just like the last iteration in 2020, rather than our very French Mini 6.50s or Figaro's which were used in earlier iterations. It's expected to be a speedy affair; mind the performance loss, coastline and marks as you zip through this course. The winners in 2020 did it in just 2h 39min, can you do better?

SOLing by the sun and the stars, aka seat-of-the-pants, the voyage will take you east as far as Praslin island, south as far as Anjouan, to Zanzibar’s Unguja for all things spices, but only back as far as Mogidishu – another exhausting 3000nm adventure, this time in Reichel/Pugh 66s.

Aland Sea TIMED Race 2023

Norrtalje Segelsallskap, 70km NE of Stockholm was founded in 1920, and time was when the society’s season opened with a challenging offshore race from the club line off Flaten island at the mouth of the long and narrow Norrtaljeviken, out onto a triangular course around the Aland Sea, to finish at Simpnas slightly to the north on Bjorko island - some 78nm in total. This will be the 6th time that SOL is running this race, and just like its previous iteration almost exactly 2 years ago will be held as a TIMEDrace in pretty Club Swan 50s.

Percé to Saint Malo Transat 2022

Percé is a fishing village in the lee of its magnificent eponymous rock on the southern shores of the entrance to the St Lawrence Seaway, discovered in 1603 by Quebec's founding father Samuel de Champlain on his first voyage to the northern regions of America. In 2012, a mere 400-odd years on, Sailonline decided to return from thence, via the islands of St Pierre and Miquelon, to St Malo, the departure port of many of the French voyages of long-ago. An IRL race celebrating Jacques Cartier's much earlier voyage of 1534 exploring the Gulf of St Lawrence, first held in 1984, was further inspiration. To celebrate all things French, therefore, we now invite you to participate in this third simulation of this epic 2,485nm race, as before in very French and venerable, but now slightly modified for better light air performance Sailonline IMOCA 60s!

Galway Redux TIMED Race 2022

As we last did in 2017, we come to Galway for another TIMED race. Starting from Acaill Bheag, we sail around the coast of County Galway for around 90nm to finish in Galway City. While the weather is generally mild, it gets the occasional severe windstorm which is key to setting a quick time in our Seacart 30s.

Tour Down Under 2022

It will be 694nm of killing racing on an amazing route created by SOL'er AGage. In the chat of the first edition of this race, Tyger wrote "Only an Aussie (and a crazy one) with intimate knowledge of these waters could have come up with such a racecourse". Well maybe AGage was a bit crazy, but he was also a genius when he made it, inspired by the great cycling race "Tour Down Under". Instead of bikes we will use fast 60ft Trimarans. So rest well and prepare large amounts of coffee. You will have at least two days without sleep. 😊

Sailonline’s 15th Birthday Balloon Transat

Sailonline offers a huge variety of boats to sail in. One of the more unusual ones has got to be SOL's Balloon, which was polarized by past SOLmaster 76Trombones. Notably, the SOL Balloon will actually ‘sail’ in other directions other than straight downwind, although it will not 'sail' over land or beyond a 'beam reach'. Like in 2013 and 2018, we will be taking the Balloon across the Atlantic from St. John's and 'land' it in the sea off the Cliffs of Moher.

Geraldton to Cape Town 2022

A race in the Southern Indian Ocean is always entertaining, especially in a Riptide 50. Traditionally the course would be West to East, to take advantage of the prevailing winds, but this time the SRC is challenging us to an E-W course, from Geraldton in Western Australia to Cape Town in South Africa. A brief 4800nm!

Valletta Sprint 2022

We invite you to the race around Sicily, which has been held in SOL for many years. A 588nm race in generally light Mediterranean airs, we start from Valletta on the first leg to the Strait of Messina. Homer already wrote about the dangers lurking there thanks to two monsters, Scylla and Charybda, inhabiting the opposite shores of the strait and waiting for careless sailors. Even brave Odysseus was in big trouble there. Hopefully our Carkeek40 will guide us safely through the strait. Maybe the official website http://www.correntidellostretto.it will help us to defeat Charybda. It's going to be an interesting race, be ready !!!

San Francisco to New York Ocean Race 2022

Cornelius Vanderbilt, who made his money - that his descendants enjoyed to spend sailing and racing yachts - by recognizing that getting from the East Coast to the West Coast of the USA was best done by rail, would have been more than a little amused to see SOL organizing yacht races over the very route by water he made redundant. It's about 13,000 nautical miles, which compares with less than 3000 statute miles by train! Six years ago, the best SOLers managed to complete the passage from San Francisco to New York in around 36 days, sailing our much-used veteran ocean greyhound, the Super Maxi 100. Time to try again, this time on the VO70. If you aim for a SOG of 18kn, it'll only take you a month.

Rio In-Port TIMED Race 2022

Many years ago, when the Volvo Round-The-World yachts were 70 foot long and not restricted much in any other way, SOL organized a round-the-cans prequel to that fleet's next leg out from Rio de Janeiro. Having so much enjoyed Adriano's recent Brazil Run, we have therefore set those old cans out again for you now for a TIMED Run, along the same beautiful coastline as Adriano's Run, but of only half the length, being from "there (Ilha Grande) and back", rather than "to there and back". Also we'll leave the VO70's in the shed and race X35's, which, given that the course is some 80nm in length, will mean you will be confronted by a change of forecast or two during your runs. You’ll have to take a view!

Tokyo to San Francisco 2022

As part of our oceanic struggle, for the third race this Quarter we will be sailing the 4500nm route from Tokyo to San Francisco. This time we will use comfortable Gunboat 90 catamarans. There will be enough space to stow a bonito and some miso and something to drink for this trans-Pacific race. Let's hope for good weather and good winds.

Black Gold Rush 2022

Run the Gulf - 650nm in our 90' Monohull - from Kuwait, via Bahrain and Abu Dhabi to finish offshore from Dubai. It sounds simple, but can prove to be somewhat of a challenge, because 'The Persian Gulf' (one of many names for it) is one of the world's busiest waters. There are of course huge supertankers and container ships, but also lots of trading and fishing dhows not to mention pirates. So, keep a close watch.

Dyer Dhow Derby 2022

Most winter weekends, SOLer wsguerin and his friends at the Mamaroneck Frostbite Association venture forth on Long Island Sound to race Dyer Dhows, originally designed as WWII tenders. Indestructible little boats, great comradeship and serious short sharp races of 10 to 20 minutes duration. Sailonline now invites you to experience the joys of the Dhow in winter, virtually, by way of a slightly longer 14nm race: from Mamaroneck to Execution Rocks, over to the Gong Buoy and back to Mamaroneck. And if the wind pipes up to 20kn and beyond, you'll find SOL's customized polar will plane, rather than nosedive!

Raid on Lindisfarne 2021

In the year 793 AD, a band of Vikings crossed the North Sea to raid Britain. SOL recaptured this voyage in 2012 by sailing the 465nm from Goteborg to Lindisfarne in longships. Having tarried a magical, prime 7 number of years, the SOL fleet returned to Sweden in 2019, but the memories of the good land and the (slightly) shorter winters lingered and so you are invited for a repeat raid. Things have changed, so passports (not ID cards) are required, COVID tests must be pre-booked and on-line Passenger Locator Forms (5 sides) completed, if you want to have a chance to land.

SSANZ Race Delta 2021

Welcome back to the Hauraki Gulf and a course that will be familiar to you as it formed the third and final race of this year's SSANZ Triple Series that was unfortunately only raced on the virtual waters as pandemic restrictions in NZ kept racers ashore in reality. With a prudent and careful government, once again, restrictions mean the real racers cannot get back on the water for this Race Delta but, luckily for us, we may well see several of them joining us here to test their navigation skills in our Sun Fast 3300s around this approx. 45nm course.

Charlottetown Sprint 2021

Sheltered by Cornwall to the west, Cumberland to the south and Stratford to the east, at the mouth of the Clyde river, you will find Charlottetown Harbour. Confused? No, we are not in England, not even in New England; no, we are on Prince Edward Island, so named after the fourth son of George III, and Charlottetown after his mother. Still lost? Well, Prince Edward Island, today Canada's smallest province, lies between and off New Brunswick and New Scotland (Nova Scotia), like most everywhere else along the northern North American seaboard named after somewhere where George already ruled. Blame some lazy or obsequious cartographer, but we will race there anyway, 27nm in SOTO30. It'll be chilly, but enjoy!

One of three regattas around Funen each year, this race is the only one (and the biggest worldwide) for single handed racing. Will our First (Seascape) 27 be a match for the real fleet's Seascape 27s? Time will tell!

After leaving Copenhagen, you have the choice of racing the c. 145nm south- or north-about the Danish island of Sjaelland to the finish in Svendborg.

Valletta Sprint 2021

Welcome once again to the Mediterranean and a true SOL perennial. At 588nm in often light Mediterranean airs, to-date no boat – multi or maxi, SOL or IRL – has managed to best the US's Rambler’s time of 47:55:03 for this course set during the 2007 Middle Sea Race. This year, we offer you our Orange 125 catamaran, so the record is on!

Guadeloupe PYOC 2021

And now… SRC presents…. the PYOC of all PYOC! It is less than 3nm from the estuary of Point-a-Pitre on the south coast of Guadeloupe to the shoal bay directly north of it on the other side of the island, but, alas, a buoyed channel that might take you there is blocked midway by a bridge and a marsh, and anyway, on the SOL chart, that channel ain't there at all. So, expect to have to sail at least 62nm in mercifully relatively nippy Seacart 30s, port- or starboard-round, to win this one, and not to show ahead of boats who just came out to watch the start, until you are nearly home.

Once we clear the tip of Cape Cod at Race Point our rhumb line course will be 70 deg T for 225nm across the Gulf of Maine to Cape Sable NS, so the best delivery departure window for sparing the crew and gear pounding into a northeast winter gale across Browns Bank will likely be following a frontal passage with strong favorable westerly winds.

Halfway between the Cyclades and Dodecanese island groups in the southern Aegean Sea lies Astypalaia. Remote and relatively unspoilt, the ferry from Pyraeus first calls into some half dozen other islands. Better to sail there, but, with only room for ten or so yachts stern-too on the main harbour pier, you may well have to anchor off in one of the island's many sheltered coves. No showers and fresh daktyla then, but no bother if you've sailed there online for example on a J-122 to compete in SOL's 30nm sprint round the entire island, taking care not to interrupt the serenity of it all, of course.

Adriano's Brazil Run 2021

Adriano, who sails the SOLship batatabh, together with all his Brazilian friends bids you welcome to this amazing 300nm race in SOL's Albin 79 along their country's beautiful coastline. The race starts in Guanabara Bay, mistakenly considered a river mouth by its first explorers in January 1502, resulting in the settlement on its shore being named January's River (Rio de Janeiro). After passing Rio's iconic Sugar Loaf, the course takes racers along the north coast of the beautiful Ilha Grande to a turn for home at Ilhabela (another 'beautiful island') and a finish off the famous Copacabana beach!

Kingston Sprint Reggaeta 2021

For the first sprint of the new year, SRC have leased a fleet of First 40.7s for you in Jamaica. Not in their first flush of youth, feel free to race them hard across the islet- and rock-strewn waters off the southern coast of the island. It's a 34nm run, and is likely to be mostly upwind, so not for the fainthearted, but the rum- and reggae-fuelled après-racing party in Kingston Town should be mighty. Enjoy!

The Odyssey 2020 - Leg 4

The fourth and final leg of Sailonline's Virtual Odyssey takes us out of The Underworld, where Odysseus has tarried too long, back finally to Ithaca, where Penelope has faithfully waited thirteen years – ten at war and three at sea – on his return. But it is not plain sailing, and after scraping through the Straits of Messina past the monsters Scylla and Charybdis, he is blown south one final time to Malta where what is left of his crew offend the sun god Helios, and all but Odysseus die at sea before he reaches Gozo, where the nymph Calypso keeps him for her pleasure for seven years, but after intervention by Zeus himself releases him. A final 650nm of poignant ordeal!

The Odyssey 2020 - Leg 3

Leaving a blinded cyclops behind, Odysseus is immediately blown off course again, now to Pantelleria where Aeolus gifts him a bag of wind for later. Sailing on, he next reaches Telepylos, which could be back on the African coast or present-day Favignana off north west Sicily. Our Leg 3 opts for Favignana, which turns out to be inhabited by Laestryonians who start to eat the crew. To get away, the wind bag is opened too soon and they carene on north to the land of the sorceress Circe, who turns the remaining crew into pigs for a year. But once more they get away, finally in the right direction, passing the Sirens on the coast of present-day Amalfi, to end up in The Underworld, the island Vulcano. 550 exhausting miles of mayhem!

It is shoal and often stormy off Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, but behind the eponymous island it stands on lies Pamlico Sound, also shoal but sheltered and so wide that Giovanni da Verrazzano in 1524 mistook it for the Pacific Ocean.

The Odyssey 2020 - Leg 1

According to Homer, after the Greeks sacked Troy, one of their heroes, Odysseus, had a particularly fateful journey home. Sailonline now invites you to relive his epic tale, journeying in a virtual ancient trireme, modelled on the Hellenic Navy's real live replica Olympia. The legend tells Odysseus was immediately blown off course, north to the land of the Cicones, perhaps making landfall near Cape Maroneais. When the winds abated and after pillaging the people, he made good progress south, undoubtedly rowing some of the way, to exit the Aegean at Cape Maleas, where this virtual first leg ends. Take your seats for 360nm of tragedy!

San Francisco Bay Sprint 2020

Many a Sailonline race has started or finished at San Francisco's Golden Gate, but never have we raced inside The Bridge on The Bay.

A3 2020 - Leg 8 - Darwin to Perth

In 2012 Sailonline lost one of its more remarkable racers, Aaron Gage, the creator of the Flash client and all-round awesome human being.

This race is Leg 8 of the series - a race of 1860nm in Orange 125ft Catamarans from the laid back north to the booming mining capital and yachting centre of Perth in the south of the state of Western Australia.

Foveaux Strait TIMED Race 2020

Welcome to southern New Zealand, and welcome to this TIMED race through the South Island’s Foveaux Strait. According to a Maori legend, the strait was created by Kewa the obedient whale when traditional Maori ancestor Kiwa summoned the whale to create a waterway. It is a rough and often treacherous stretch of water. Our 98nm quadrangular course goes around some small islands in the strait. To zoom around these islands in style, we will pull our Seacart 30s out of the shed and let them fly. Enjoy!

Walyalup Sprint 2020

Once upon a time, aboriginal legend has it, the country of the Whadjuk people extended west from the present day Fremantle shoreline out to Rottnest island, but Walyalup as they called it was lost to the sea, and this sprint takes you across those inundated lands, round reefs and across shoals, 25nm in X-362 Sports.

Steinlager 2 has been our boat of choice for all but one of the previous virtual versions of this event but, sadly, this time we will not be competing against a real fleet as the global #COVID19 pandemic has meant the event has had to be cancelled. Hopefully, though, some of the real participants will be joining us from the Royal Akarana YC the hosts of the real event, to pit their skills against ours in the ever changing forecast winds.

Estonian Islands Sprint 2020

Lao and Peerni are two tiny towns with a combined population of little more than 50 souls at the end of the Tostamaa peninsula on the coast of the Gulf of Riga. A ferry departs from Lao's harbour, Munalaiu, for the islands of Manilaid and Kihnu across the water, where the permanent resident count is a factor 10 higher. In winter the ferry doesn't run and you can drive across the ice to the islands instead, but in June beach tourism swells demand, so mind the commercial traffic, SOLers, as you race this 24nm circumnavigation in handsome Linjett 40s!

Migaloo Migration 2020

For many years, SOL has followed the migrations of the Pacific gray whale along the western coast of North America from its northern feeding grounds to its southern breeding grounds off Mexico. Down under in the far opposite corner of the Pacific, Migaloo, the white fella, and his humpback whale kin, exhibit exactly the same (or diametrically opposite) migratory habits between feeding grounds in Antarctic waters and breeding grounds off the coast of Queensland, Australia. We followed Migaloo's springtime track north for the first time in 2019 and this year we repeat the experience, now in 60ft Trimarans. Only 3200 nm. If a whale can do it, so can you!

Quiberon Islands Sprint 2020

The Quiberon peninsula extends as a submerged granite ridge a further 15nm or so beyond the La Teignouse lighthouse on the rocks off its southern tip, surfacing as two small islands, Houat and Hoedic, the duck and duckling in Breton, 5nm and 10nm beyond the light. Treacherous, tidal waters, but on SOL that daunts us not. Of course, we've raced here before, mostly Timed Runs out of Quiberon around Belle Ile, just south of the islets, and back, but this time it's a sprint from Belle Ile's capital of Port Marie round the foul fowl and back. A triangular course of 22nm, appropriately enough in classic Swan 36es!

Percé to Saint Malo Transat 2020

Percé is a fishing village in the lee of its magnificent eponymous rock on the southern shores of the entrance to the St Lawrence Seaway, discovered in 1603 by Quebec's founding father Samuel de Champlain on his first voyage to the northern regions of America. In 2012, a mere 400-odd years on, Sailonline decided to return from thence, via the islands of St Pierre and Miquelon, to St Malo, the departure port of many of the French voyages of long-ago. An IRL race celebrating Jacques Cartier's much earlier voyage of 1534 exploring the Gulf of St Lawrence, first held in 1984, was further inspiration. To celebrate all things French, therefore, we now invite you to repeat this epic 2,485nm race, as before in those very French and by now venerable Sailonline IMOCA 60s!

Black Gold Rush 2020

Run the Gulf - 650nm in our Seacart 30 from Kuwait, via Bahrain and Abu Dhabi to finish offshore Dubai.
It sounds simple, but can prove to be somewhat of a challenge, because “The Persian Gulf” (one of many names for it) is one of the world's busiest waters. There are of course huge supertankers, but also lots of trading and fishing d'hows not to mention pirates at all.
So, keep a close watch.

SSANZ Round North Island Race 2020 - Leg 3

The race from Mangonui to Wellington was a tough one, so spare a thought for the real racers who haven't had that long to recuperate before we set off again. Heading into the Cook Strait and "round the corner" for a run up the E coast of North Island to Napier. With Southern Ocean winds a-swirling, this could be interesting!.

We have raced in the Comoro Islands before, but this time, keeping things French, we take you to another bit that is in Europe - le département de Mayotte et Les Îles Glorieuses. Like neighbouring independent Mohali, the geology here is a mix of volcano and coral, and it is one of those remote places that keeps the known worldwide species count stable whilst extinction reigns.

"I had a farm in Africa, near the shores of Lake Victoria." Denys kept a boat on a mooring at the sailing club down by Kaazi. He called her Platu, I don't know why, but she had an impressive turn of speed for a 25 footer. Some Saturdays there would be a particular happiness in sailing her with him to Entebe - 20 odd English miles in a cooling breeze, however slight it might be. Friends there would give us supper and a bed, for reality to beckon once again the next day.

Welcome to Tasmania and a sail back-in-time.

Galloo Islands Sprint 2019

There is so much more to New York than that collection of towering skyscrapers at the mouth of the Hudson river. Upstate, it is rolling pastures, mountain ranges and lakelands, stretching all the way to the U.S. border with Canada – the St Lawrence Seaway and the waters of two great inland seas, Lakes Erie and Ontario. This race takes you right to the top of this bucolic wonderland for a 24nm sprint in classy Club Swan 50s out to the historic lighthouse on the southern tip of Galloo Island on the eastern reaches of Ontario, round the island and back to Henderson Bay. Enjoy!

Return from Lindisfarne 2019

In the year 793, a band of Vikings crossed the North Sea to raid Britain. SOL recaptured this voyage in 2012 by sailing the 465nm from Goteborg to Lindisfarne in longships. Having tarried awhile, the raiders returned to Sweden to tell their friends about the good land, the (slightly) shorter winters and the comely Saxon maidens. Thus. it is fitting the SOL fleet this year also returns. It should be an easier passage home!

Newport Bermuda Race 2019

Every even year, the Cruising Club of America and the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club organise a race from Newport to Bermuda, and next year's edition will be the 52nd running of the event. So, since 2019 is an odd year, SOL is hosting a virtual replica of the course and making her fleet of IMOCA 60s available for charter to all-comers. 635nm across some very unpredictable weather.
Since the death of Andrew “Bart” Simpson in San Francisco in 2013 and the subsequent founding of the Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation in his memory, commemorated every year by a global day of sailing, known as Barts Bash in early September, a Sailonline race has also promoted this charity every year, and this year it is this race to Bermuda that is honoured to do so.

When, back in 2014, SOLer hmm went to Kiel in Germany and bought himself a very fine First 36.7, it came complete with the challenge of how to get her home to Helsinki, Finland. With summer fast approaching and press-ganging progressing slowly, SOL decided to help out with moral support and in the end nearly 200 SOLers accompanied him and his crew on the 588nm trip. A big success! Today hmm still sails his yacht all summer long on his home waters of the Gulf of Finland.

Nantucket to Edgartown Sprint 2019

It's summer in New England and you are all welcome back to Nantucket, from whence Herman Melville’s Cap’n Ahab sailed off past the Cape of Good Hope to find the northern Pacific Ocean to hunt the white sperm whale. The toil and hardship of Ahab and his contemporaries are distant memories and outdoor sea and beach fun is what the island is all about today. So, let's sail, this time to Edgartown and Martha's Vineyard.

Pb³ 2019

Having last raced TuuleTallaja's magnificent PB3 course along the coast of his beautiful Estonia in 2016 in reverse, we revert to his original design, beach to beach, from Pirita in the north to Pärnu in the south, via a mark off Paralepa beach half way. PB3 or 3BP if you reverse it! As has become a tradition, we will race the course in speedy F18 catamarans. By car, skipping the diversion to Paralepa, the c 140 km should take you less than 2 hours, but by sea, thwarted by headlands and islands, you may expect it to take ten times longer to cover a similar number, not of Kms, but of nms, assuming, as always that the lure of the beach and live music will not cause you to pull your boat onto the sand and linger!

Diaplo RTI Sprint 2019

Here's a sprint around a trio of islands NW of Corfu, where Odysseus, at the end of his tether, was washed ashore and rescued by the beautiful princess Nausikaa, daughter of King Alcinous of the Phaeacians, who thought it best to return the wandering hero to his home island Ithaca and the ever constant Penelope. Tempting though this fate may seem, shipwrecking on one of the islands of our race is unlikely to meet with similar good fortune, so go easy on the ouzo as you drive your Club Swan 50 hard across 27 nm of crystal clear Ionian Sea.

Sardinia Cup 2019

Up until the end of the 1990s, offshore yacht racing was punctuated by a number of annual three-boat international team championships, one of which was The Sardinia Cup. These championships were generally a mix of inshore races and at least one challenging offshore race. That the offshore race for the Sardinia Cup used to be from Cagliari to Cannigione is doubtful in the extreme. However, one thing is certain, SOL's 2019 Sardinia Cup offshore race is challenging, eschewing as it does the relatively benign waters off the Sardinian east coast, taking our fleet of highly inappropriate Seascape 18 footers (fully-crewed, NB) the long west-way round instead, probably into the teeth of a Mistral gale fetching down the river Rhone and across the Gulf of Leon. 225nm; good luck!

New Hebrides Slalom 2019

In years gone by, we have reflected in these notes on the temptation to hang out longer on any one of the exotic islands in the Coral Sea that this race will take you past, but failed to mention that you may also experience an urge to get away sharply from the carved-out industrial backdrop of New Caledonia’s opencast nickel mines. We’re providing you with the boat for it, and if there’s any wind at all, you’ll be across the Loyaute Basin in no time, after which however you may well find your crew wanting to dawdle as they flag in the ever-swirling hi-res winds over the islands of the Vanuatu archipelago.

This is normally a "Buddy Race" with Tauranga Yacht and Power Boat Club, but not this year, as the yacht club does not run this event.

Isla San Lorenzo RTI 2018

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.

Aland Sea TIMED Race 2018

Norrtalje Segelsallskap, 70km NE of Stockholm was founded in 1920, and time was when the society’s season opened with a challenging offshore race from the club line off Flaten island at the mouth of the long and narrow Norrtaljeviken, out onto a triangular course around the Aland Sea, to finish at Simpnas slightly to the north on Bjorko island - some 70nm in total. A fine race that SOL, being from these parts, ran annually up until 2013. Not a moment too late then - five years have passed and autumn is upon us - for a further re-enactment, this time in the form a TIMED RUN in spanking new Club Swan 50s.

Gray Whale Autumn Migration 2018

It is autumn in the N Hemisphere and gray whales are beginning their annual southerly migration, from their feeding grounds in the Bering Sea to the warm waters off the Mexican coastline. There have always been natural challenges on this journey, with younger whales falling prey to orcas, but, sadly, mankind's pollution of our planet's oceans, especially in the form of plastic waste, has heightened the risks. Racing our superyacht this time, spare a moment's thought for how we can protect and conserve oceans and marinelife.

Nantucket Sprint 2018

Welcome to Nantucket, from whence Herman Melville’s Cap’n Ahab sailed round The Horn into the northern Pacific Ocean to hunt the gray whale - whose migrations are celebrated elsewhere in SOL’s Q4 schedule - he never to return. And whaling too, as the 19th C progressed, like Ahab disappeared from Nantucket as the harbour silted up and mainland Massachusetts whaling stations benefited from rail connections. But beach life, yachting and nostalgia has rescued the island from oblivion, so to celebrate leisure, SOL gives you the Nantucket Sprint - 12nm in J130s from east of Tuckernuck Island across the sound to a finish just inside the mouth of the harbour. Enjoy!

Tour de Belle Ile TIMED Race 2018

As you might guess, ‘La Belle Ile en Mer’ to give the island its full name, unlike the Ile de France which lies in the Seine, lies in the sea, in fact in the sea off the Bay of Quiberon on Britany’s south coast, home of France’s ECOLE NATIONALE DE VOILE ET DES SPORTS NAUTIQUES, where many a French champion sailor has learnt his craft. An appropriate venue then for SOLers to test their wind-hounding skills in a 45nm TIMED tour out from the mainland, around the island and home, this year in sporty Beneteau Figaro’s. A popular place though, so mind the water scooters, speedboats and other assorted recreational craft!

Sailonline’s 11th Birthday Balloon Transat

Eleven is an odd number, numerically as well as numerologically. Boastful and extravagant, adding one to the complete and perfect ten, 11/11 is also the day and month WW1 ended, so a number well worth celebrating after all. Whimsically then, in honour of SOL’s 11th birthday, your SRC gives you a re-run of 2013’s Trans-Atlantic Balloon Race. This race to be the first to ‘land’ your balloon in the sea off the Cliffs of Moher is not for the faint-hearted, nor for the serious-minded. Unusually, SOL’s balloon, polarized by past SOLmaster 76Trombones, will not ‘sail’ over land and will actually ‘sail’ in other directions other than straight downwind, although beyond a ‘beam reach’ it will not go. Good luck!!

Fehmarn RTI Sprint 2018

‘Fehmarn Rund’ is an ever-popular race round former West Germany’s most northerly Baltic island; so popular in fact that DSV’s Ostsee-Cup this year had the circuit in twice for its 10-race Summer programme; early in May organized by the Burger Segler Vereinigung, and more recently in August by Segler-Vereinigung Heiligenhafen. Familiar IRL to SOLers rumskib and bonknhoot amongst others, it was in fact MustangMark who first proposed a SOL sprint round the island back in 2014, appropriately enough in X35s, built not very far away in Denmark’s Haderslev. So here we go again in 2018, for a third, now virtual 32nm lap, starting and finishing on this occasion either side of the Fehmarnsundbrücke.

Welcome to southern New Zealand, and welcome to this TIMED race through the South Island’s Foveaux Strait.

AGage 50 2018

The original 2013 Sailonline SOLer AGage memorial circumnavigation of Australia included a short triangular course in Aaron Gage’s homewaters off Brighton, Adelaide – the AGage 100. The 100 is a bit long for a sprint, but a year should not pass without a race on SOL to remember Aaron by. So here you have an alternative – the AGage 50, three equidistant legs in the Bruce Farr designed Finngulf 43s.

Golden Globe Race 2018 - Leg 1

Welcome, all, to the 2018 Golden Globe Race and Sailonline’s virtual version of this iconic 50th anniversary rerun of 1968’s first ever non-stop single-handed round-the-world race in yachts and with technology in keeping with that historic time.
To reflect the challenge being undertaken by the real racers, as announced previously, SOL invites all who feel so inclined to add their boat name to the post in FORUM declaring you will race by the proverbial "Seat Of The Pants" (SOTP) with no outside assistance from routing software or other external aids, BEFORE THE STARTING GUN IS FIRED.
To simulate the real race which features a 90 minute minimum stopover in Storm Bay, SOL’s online version has been divided into two legs. This first leg then is from Les Sables-d’Olonne to Storm Bay. When the leaders approach Storm Bay, Leg 2 from thence back to Les Sables via Cape Horn, will open. YOU MAY NOT START LEG 2 UNTIL AT LEAST 90 MINUTES AFTER FINISHING LEG 1. The penalty for starting Leg 2 before finishing Leg 1 is NO RANKING. The penalty for starting Leg 2 within 90 minutes of finishing Leg 1 is 5x the time you started too early.
DO NOT START TOO EARLY!
Fair winds and good luck!!

Aegean Rally 2018

"The International Aegean Sailing Rally is a regatta with a long history, organized every year by the HORC (Hellenic Offshore Racing Club). It is the oldest and most splendid sailing event in Greece and is characterized as a marine Marathon", thus write its organisers, The Hellenic Offshore Racing Club, and in 2015 SOL followed the IRL yachts round for all four legs. Marathon, however, lies too far off the beaten track, so, we, at SOL, much encouraged by the great success of our ouzo-fuelled sprint of January this year, have decided to use another of the 2015 legs for sprinting. This one starts in Athens, then rounds Agios Dimitrios Kythnos for Piperi, to finish at the Temple of Poseidon on the tip of the Attica peninsula.

Strutton to Cape Hope PYOC Sprint 2018

In the south east corner of Hudson Bay you’ll find James Bay, and close in to shore in the south east of James Bay lies a group of islands – Charlton, Strutton and Cape Hope among them. Outposts of the famed Revillon Frères fur trading company until the 1920s, the islands nowadays are once more uninhabited. Be this as it may, the thaw sets in earlier in James Bay than in the other bays and reaches of the Arctic Ocean, so SOL are pleased to welcome you back to Strutton for another PYOC Sprint, again in our sturdy 11m ODs.

Lisboa TIMED Race 2018

For the fourth year in succession, Sailonline invite you to Lisboa and Setubal for a TIMED race. A long course designed by psail with the AC72 in mind, this year we will take out our more seaworthy 60ft Trimaran, so that performance loss minimalization, although still important, will become less critical, and finding that best (and longer!) period of favourable winds much more so.

SWR 2017/18 - Leg 6 - Auckland to Itajai

Fortunately, the SOL fleet did not need to undergo thorough maintenance and related repairs while staying in Auckland. It is already ready and in tip-top shape to sail the longest leg in SWR 17/18 from Auckland to Itajai, at a total of 7.100 NM.
As in leg 3 – Cape Town to Melbourne, the keyword is "The Westerly Stormtrack" and to catch that, the weather will take us deep down south through the "Roaring Forties" and beyond, and then blow us towards Cape Horn.
This time we will not have to care about the Antarctic Ice Exclusion Zone as the southern race boundary is set to 70°S to give us a clear run.

SWR 2017/18 - Leg 5 - Hong Kong to Auckland

While others have spent the two-week stay in Hong Kong sailing up and down the Zhujiang River and around Hong Kong Island, we have been able to completely relax and spend the days preparing for Leg 6 from Hong Kong to Auckland.
We will (almost) sail the exactly same way back to where we came from and that means another meeting with the Doldrums, which hopefully this time will be kinder to us. But if that does not happen... no one said this SWR 17/18 would be easy!

Pico Island Sprint 2018

900nm due West of Lisbon you’ll find Portugal’s Azores Islands, where SOLers have been known to come and go, both IRL and on-line. Marking the junction of two major tectonic fault lines – the North Atlantic Ridge and the subduction zone where the African and Eurasian plates meet – it is a seismically hyper-active place, but warm and verdantly beautiful with one rain-laden depression after another rolling over its ash-fed andisol-rich hillsides. If it wasn’t for the pods of whales mooching about offshore, at sea might be the safer place to be there, but let’s go race anyway – 55nm round Pico, this year in First 47.7s.

Ouzo Sprint 2018

Ouzo is a blend of ethanol (rectified spirit) and water with mysterious hints of aniseed and other botanicals such as fennel, mastic, cardamom, coriander, cloves, and cinnamon. Same as designer gin really, but with aniseed rather than juniper as the dominant flavour. By Greek law, the ABV (alcohol by volume) has to be at least 35%. Think of the water as the sea, the alcohol as the rocks and islands of the Inner Aegean you must not founder on, and the secret flavourings as the wind to waft you from Koufonisi to Akra Sounion, and you have The Ouzo Sprint. In our spanking new Club Swan 50s you may even be round before the thought gives you a headache!

Rio In-Port TIMED Race 2018

Many years ago, when the Volvo Round-The-World yachts were 70 foot long and not restricted much in any other way, SOL organized their own little round-the-cans race outside the harbour of Rio de Janeiro. To start our 2018 series of TIMEDRUNS , we are setting those cans out again for you, and this time they will stay in the water for 20 days for all comers to try as often as they wish to set a best time. We won’t be racing a VO70 though, but the slightly more sedate X35, which, given that the course is some 80nm in length, will mean you will be confronted by a change of forecast or two during your runs. You’ll have to take a view!
