Commentary
Over the years Sailonline has raced to and around Hawaii but it has never had the privilege to be buddied with one of the host yacht clubs who run the real races to Hawaii. While #COVID19 is locking the world down and changing the way so many of us live our lives, including those who ocean race, Sailonline is fortunate to be able to continue its racing unchallenged and, moreover, is sufficiently flexible an organisation to work with those yacht clubs who have had to cancel their events. One such is Pacific Cup Yacht Club, the organisers of The Fun Race to Hawaii who had had to abandon their biannual event from San Francisco to Hawaii and, learning of our NavSim, decided to host a virtual event.

From the moment the starting gun fired, the fleet of 397 registered boats, flying the flags of 43 different nations, were on fire – the camaraderie and tales of previous real races together with the swapping of navigational tips between those new to Sailonline and our “old hands” meant that the 10-day race was perhaps one of the most entertaining and enjoyable we have ever raced! Read the wonderful reports linked above to see how some of our racers felt! Hopefully by 2022 the real racers will be back on the water but, if Sailonline is allowed to race the virtual event again, we will most certainly be following your progress!

Many congratulations to our podium three of two frequent racers on Sailonline and one top SOLer who recently returned after a break – but the top group were a perfect blend of real racers and SOLers. Well done to everyone who completed the race with spirits and energy intact - MaiTai’s in Kaneohe were waiting for everyone (see JokerForever report!).

Jakob's Birthday BBQ Race 2024


Sailonline had two founders and Jakob, the more senior of the two, has his birthday in April which we always like to celebrate with a race through the Stockholm Archipelago from Revengegrundet Lighthouse to his mooring at Baggensfjärden. Traditionally also, like other celebrations this time of year, this feast has been “moveable”, so on this occasion we will be racing on a Wednesday in one of our latest high-performance 40-footers, the Carkeek 40. Please join us then for this always tricky 30nm race. Grattis på födelsedagen Jakob!

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.

Cape Town to Auckland 2024


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. With the longer duration, we anticipate plenty of opportunities for camaraderie, competition, and unforgettable memories.
