In 2013 two SOLers, JakeS and Smo, had the bright idea that Sailonline, with its love of archipelago racing, should create a non-stop version of a real race between the Swedish and Finnish archipelagos (the real race has three overnight stops). In reality, and in virtuality, this race is really not for the faint hearted as it requires tremendous stamina to win and dogged determination in all participants. Participation requires a special kind of SOLer, completing the course is truly an achievement, while winning through to the podium is remarkable!

Check out the reports of previous runnings of the race here:

2013 -- 2014 -- 2016

The anticipation of making the 2018 running something special sadly came to nothing when our webserver encountered a technical problem, a new one for our Tech Team, which resulted in several hours of ignored commands. As a not-for-profit organisation, the small team of volunteers that keeps Sailonline running, year in and year out, can only ever do their best when circumstance throws a technical Chinese gybe our way. That our server was afflicted by an as-yet unexplained, albeit resolved, problem is a matter of great regret as it meant that those racing formidably for success at the time of the outage were unable to fulfil their promise, particularly sassy63 who was well on course to turn his previous best 2nd place here into a brilliant win. For those who doggedly persisted in finishing or trying to finish the course, you are to be commended for your determination.

As a footnote to this, if any one of you thinks you have both the expertise and a few hours a month that you are willing to offer to Sailonline’s Tech Team, please do email an enquiry to admin@sailonline.org and offer your services, particularly if you are in N America or Australia/NZ, as our current team are all based in Europe.

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER. This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.

Welcome to the second leg of this Round The World series 2024. It's also the April edition of this year's ocean race championship. The course is the same as the one sailed in 2023, but this year we sail the iconic Swan 65, as suggested in the concluding RTW race last year.
Prepare yourselves for an epic 30-day journey, navigating through the unpredictable waters of the South Seas. It's essential to take care of provisioning to ensure a smooth and enjoyable race experience.
