CONGRATULATIONS to the two teams and three individuals who have taken the top five spots in this remarkable race - your stamina and endurance are to be commended indeed and, as recognition of just what a tough task it was to win here, you are ALL awarded gold winner medals! BRAVO!!

A quick read of race chat or the Race Forum Thread will reveal quite a divided opinion about the course - it is a "love it or hate it" one, for sure! It was always advertised as a combination of adventure and nightmare and we can agree that our intrepid course designers, one of whom arrived in the topmost group, really have given Sailonline a memorable race that lived up to its billing. Wherever we are on the globe, those of us who have participated in this endurance event, who have sight-seen and bbq-ed our way round this maze of a course will always smile to ourselves whenever there is mention of the Finnish-Swedish Archipelago! So THANK YOU JakeS and Smo for creating great memories for us.

Was a strategy possible here? Probably not, but it is still worth having a look at hmm's SOL Race Data Centre to reveal the range of artistic routes taken by SOLers. Just brilliant!

Race Report by JakeS
This race was just how description promise; hard one! We had a perfect wind and fast boat. Trickiest thing was to do right decision very quickly for the next course. Do I sail optimal angle a bit longer way, or do I try a shortcut? And only continued here

Carib Rum Run 2026


Ahoy, ye landlubbers and seasoned salts! Welcome back to Sailonline’s legendary Carib Rum Run, perfectly timed to kick off on International Talk Like a Pirate Day, 19 September!

This year, we command the magnificent Falkun—the ultimate high-tech superyacht modeled after the iconic Maltese Falcon. This 1759nm slalom takes us through the Caribbean’s rum islands to plunder barrels from local distilleries and deliver them to the rum-parched sands of Cancun.

Join SYC before the finish to disguise yer boat with a pirate name for this race only. Hoist the sails, sharpen yer cutlasses, and plot your winning course!
