Commentary

Since Sailonline took to the virtual waters a decade ago, the Tasman Double two-header of a race from Sydney to Hobart and then, a few days later, ferrying the boats back, has become a tradition. Initially raced in a Seacart, for many years, as you can see from the above Winners List, our wonderful 90ft monohull was our mainstay, until in 2015 we changed to racing the Super Maxi 100. There are some SOLers for whom this race has become their single “must-do” SOL event – when life gets in the way of a regular participation on the platform, the siren call of SE Australia and the Bass Strait just keeps calling them back. Welcoming SOLers back for our year-end racing is a particular joy for the totally volunteer team that keeps Sailonline running, year after year.

The race this year was relatively straightforward with even the winds from the Southern Ocean that usually stream ferociously through the Bass Strait behaving themselves and boats flying the flags of 33 nations participated. Our choice of the Super Maxi 100 polar meant that once again a Sailonline record was made – setting the bench for future years. Our podium are to be congratulated for their success, when conditions are relatively stable the ability to tweak that boat-length out of one of Sailonline’s polars is a particular skill, and so we saw 14 boats arrive within the first 10 minutes. Congratulations guys!

Roma per Tutti 2026


Sailonline are honoured and delighted to have been asked to partner an online first Roma per Tutti yacht race with organizing yacht club, Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . In real life, this will be the 33rd edition of this 540nm offshore race from Rome’s Riva di Traiano to the Aeolian Islands and back. Online, the race will not only be our first partnership with CN Riva di Traiano, but also the second race of our Magical Mediterranean series. A number of Mini 6.50s have been entered for the 33rd edition of the Roma per Tutti; so our own vintage Mini is also our virtual yacht of choice for this one.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!
