Commentary

This was Sailonline’s second race in the three Tall Ships Races in Europe - this year “playing” in the Baltic. A relatively short hop from the ancient Finnish port town of Turku to the bustling harbour of Klaipeda in Lithuania. The conditions were relatively uncomplicated for most of the race with good progress being made by all who started on time – towards the end a few tricky bubbles of light winds appeared that put paid to many best laid plans. While full riggers plied the world’s oceans, if anyone has read the books of Patrick O’Brien, you will be familiar with periods of slack winds during which there is nothing much to be done except seek what little wind there is and make the best of it!

As always, it was great to see that our direct competitors in the real fleet, the Class A entries, were pretty much performing as we were on our race screen. The full tracker with all ships participating in reality in all three races in the series is available here .

Congratulations as ever to our three podium Captains – they simply steered their ships more assiduously and more effectively than the rest of us this time! Bravo gentlemen!

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
