Race Leaderboard

Commentary

There are some races that are now part of Sailonline’s tradition and one of them is the Boxing Day (26 December) run from Sydney to Hobart in one of the speediest boats in our boathouse. This year, again, we raced our 100ft Maxi and with interesting conditions favouring smaller boats, while we raced well, and SOLers flying the flags of 33 nations took part, we didn’t set a new Sailonline course record, so the 2017 record still stands. One of the highlights of this race is that it usually becomes a “welcome back” for SOLers who, for the rest of the year, often find themselves hard pressed to find time to race with us – this year was no exception, and if you cast your eye down the leaderboard you will see names that we were delighted to see racing again.

The 2019 podium are to be congratulated for an excellent race – our 2019 winner, outlaw has won twice before, and the third place taker, Alexandria has won once before! Clearly, the course, while challenging for everyone, just brings out the best among the best of us! Many congratulations guys!

N.B. This was Leg 1 of our Tasman Double two-race mini-series and Leg 2 will start on 2 January 2020 at 0000utc!

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
