Sailonline is excited to be partnering with Royal Cape Yacht Club to bring to racers around the world the first virtual version of the classic Cape2Rio Race from Cape Town, South Africa, to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. RCYC, together with Iate Clube de Rio de Janeiro are the organisers of the much awaited next running of the Cape2Rio Race in 2023 and to help you hone your navigation skills, there will be this first virtual race in January 2021 and a second virtual race January 2022. Read the full Press Release here.

The first Cape to Rio Race took place in 1971, so this virtual Cape2Rio Race 2021 will be commemorating the 50th anniversary of this classic transatlantic challenge. Ahead of the real race in 2023, and so that this 50th anniversary is truly celebrated in style, designer Mark Mills has created a new boat, to be known as the C2R74.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.

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.
