Commentary

Another memorable race has been added to the logbooks. Eighty-eight boats crossed the starting line on time, and as the event unfolded, participation swelled to 127. Of these, 115 successfully reached the finish before the deadline.

The fleet set off from the western approach, holding a steady port tack. After the first 24 hours, it was time to turn south. For the next 72 hours, the fleet remained tightly packed, before a decisive split emerged: the main group pushed westward, beating into the wind, while others opted for a more southerly route with a better angle. The high-pressure ridge ahead proved a challenge. The western pack slowed significantly, while the southern boats, meeting the ridge head-on, advanced more swiftly. Both groups eventually rejoined on parallel tracks, maintaining this formation for nearly a week, with the starboard side slowly regaining ground.

On day 12, yet another high-pressure system reshuffled the order. This time the southern group suffered less and pressed ahead, though the northern boats clawed their way back into contention. The battle for the podium remained undecided until the final miles, delivering a thrilling conclusion to an already unforgettable race.

Commentary

Perhaps, perhaps probably, because we at SOL missed the fact that the start of the USA's Labor Day weekend unusually fell on the last Saturday of August, the turnout for this year's virtual version of the Vineyard, a week too late, was low at well-counted 75 entrants, of whom not all raced. Those that did had a mighty battle, as always, and as reflected by the reports under the patriotic buttons above from the first two home: one by old SOL dog vida, formally known Vida_Maldita and before that Zero, feeling a bit depressed by the numbers despite his win; and one by one of several enthusiastic 2025 new SOL joiners Panpyc.

Stamford Yacht Club have pre-advised that next year Labour Day weekend and The Vineyard will start on Saturday, September 4. Let's all put it into our calendars now - race officers and competitors - and resolve to cure vida's worries and bolster Panpyc's enthusiasm. And don't be shy - tell your friends!

GRATULACJE WRmirekd !!!
FELICITATIONS Appo38 !! CONGRATULATIONS CriticalHippo !

Report

Commentary

This was a long race and after about a week of upwind sailing, Appo38 who had led most of the way up until that point lost the lead to the redoubtable WRmirekd, when the wind started to swing from predominantly north to definitively south. Was that the monsoon arriving?

Appo38 however never lost touch with WRmirekd, and after a further long week of now downwind sailing crossed second, a mere 4 minutes behind our man from Poland. A long and exhausting race deserved a short and refreshing report said Appo38, and you will find it under the little button above (which if you look closely features the coats of arms of Mozambique and Somalia, the nations of our ports of arrival and departure, respectively).

There could have been a lot more to blog about this race, as SOLer WetWing, Rear Commodore of Durban's Point Yacht Club, has cruised these waters extensively (well as far az Zanzibar or zo) and gave us many tips in Chat, which, such is the nature of our Chat, have been lost to posterity. A warm and wonderful cruising ground full of challenge and adventure. You shoulda sailed to have learned more!

Commentary

A tie, except for the server knowing where each boat fell in terms of milliseconds to determine the winner. Congratulations sassy63 and Sadlersailing for excellent seamanship to take the top two spots on the podium well ahead of KaSToR in third two seconds behind. One might think the boats sailed the same course but not so. Reviewing the courses of the top three boats each followed their own path. It's some mix of winds, angles, and rounding skill that resulted in such a tight finish.

By race close 61 of 69 boats that started had finished. In terms of Q3 honours KaSToR leads the way followed by rafa, and CollegeFund. The annual championship rankings remained unchanged. Be sure to check the final Q3 sprint as we head to the far east.

Vuelta de la Isla Saltes Sprint 2025


Welcome to Spain for our first sprint of Q4. This is a traditional 20 NM local race around Huelva in SW Spain. Chances are a quick circumnavigation will involve some upwind work weaving your way round the mud flats of the upper reaches of the Huelva delta in our Fox 9.50. Fair winds!

Camel or Balloon - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!

Africa by Sea 2025 - Mogadishu to Suez


Nearly there; only 2500nm to go, round the Horn and up the Red Sea to Suez into what will more than likely be more headwinds for this sixth leg of our African circumnavigation, to be followed in September by a final sneaky dash up the canal back to where we started all those months ago. We’ll be sailing a not entirely appropriate-for-upwind-work 60ft Trimaran!
