Commentary

Summer in Sweden and the days are long and pleasant and in SOL-land many virtual sailors are out on the water in-real-life. Nevertheless a balmy light moderate breeze out of the south down the length of Lake Vattern was able to attract nearly a hundred SOLers onto the lake's virtual waters - of which 73 finished, many in nearly the same elapsed time in a hard-fought tactical downwind-upwind battle around Visingso Island.

As for our previous sprint of last month down-under on the St Vincent Gulf, the race ended in another photo-finish for first place, this time between calmxy and Quark, the server now awarding the win to Quark, again by milliseconds. For calmxy it was a further step-up the podium and an outright win cannot be far away; read his very thorough report to appreciate why. For Quark, it was a relatively rare, perhaps first, appearance, and to be awarded with the win is to say the least amazing. So, very very well done, Quark!!!

Sailonline was delighted to become the official virtual “buddy” for the inaugural Brisbane to Hamilton Island Yacht Race, sponsored by Lendlease and organised by Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron and what a brilliant race it was! As is now customary with RQYS races, there was a superb livestream and commentary for the start and with the real fleet brought on-screen, it was fun to observe the performance of the real yachts. Their results can be found here

SOLers flying the flags of 28 different nations took part in the race which started at 0100utc which meant that for those in Europe, unless they were dedicated enough to stay up into the early hours of the morning, they were going to have to use delay commands. The Brisbane departure is always tricky and it was clear that several racers decided to delay their start until they were awake rather than find that they had missed a mark and needing to backtrack. To do this is clearly a choice, but it is always better to start with the start of the race and if you are uncertain of your ability to set accurate DCs then simply stop your boat with a TWA=0 at point of your choosing, then when you are able to steer again, you are where you planned to be!

Our top three were clearly made of stern stuff as, all from Europe, they showed us how to race up Australia’s Gold Coast! Arriving within moments of each other, this was another brilliantly competitive event. Bravo guys!

Commentary
Race 2 of the 2019 SSANZ Two-handed Triple Series completed and the three-race series win is up for grabs! Once of the speediest races experienced around the Hauraki Gulf for quite some time, while some were BBQ-ing the top finishers were already home and dry! The course was new for this year and while the real racers had their course adjusted because of the strong conditions, Sailonline’s winner completed the full distance in an excellent time of 6h 23m 13s. Racing in the waters off Auckland really is a home from home for us now, and racing the Young 88 is always fun so it isn’t surprising to see the top places so hotly contested. Even with a start late in the European evening (the majority of racers on Sailonline are based in Europe) tough European competition can’t be counted out and, so it was this time that our podium three are a fair representation of both hemispheres!

The SSANZ Results show that only four of the Y88 entrants were able to complete the course, but the best corrected time was again from S/Y Split Decision with 5h53m25s (elapsed: 8h21m18s) . Again the locals win!

With SOLers flying the flags of 29 nations taking part, our podium three are to be congratulated on grabbing the top spots – mere seconds between them and mere seconds ahead of those following fast after them! Bravo guys!

hmm's Delivery 2019
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. So, five years on, let's re-enact his passage and get over there to join him as fast as we can, in our very quick Ker 40s on this occasion.

Aden to Goa 2019
Europeans are mainly familiar with the history of how spices arrived in that continent from far away places, but the trade in spices from Goa to Aden predates the modern era as is detailed here. Sailonline is reversing this route and making it an eastbound yacht race of about 1700nm across the Arabian Sea for our 21st century Sunfast yachts! Fair winds and may the aroma of spices bring you safely to your destination!
