We are mere days away from Sailonline’s annual Caribbean Pirate Fest – an opportunity for SYC members to change their boatname to something piratical, for this race only, and to fill our General chat column with pirate-speak! (arr, that be lingo yer varmint!). This will be the 11th year of this fun event and as ever, you are all invited to participate, even if you aren’t a member of SYC, but as Sailonline’s only source of income is SYC memberships, perhaps now is the time to join!

Racing round the Caribbean, picking up barrels of rum from several distilleries as we go, and allegedly delivering them to Cancun Mexico is our mission – this year our beautiful “tall ship” is our impressive multi-masted superyacht, Falkun.

As always there are PRIZES for those who take a more serious approach to this event – for the rest of us, the high spirits of rum and pirate lingo is enough! This year on offer are:

A Nauticalia Brass Navigator’s Companion (i.e. a brass compass with a fold-out magnifier), donated by RainbowChaser for the race winner.

An extension of SYC membership for the first three SYC members crossing the line (membership must be valid at race start to be eligible) as follows:

1st SYC finisher – 12 months SYC membership extension
2nd SYC finisher – 6 months SYC membership extension
3rd SYC finisher – 3 months SYC membership extension

SO JOIN THE SYC AND RACE WITH A PIRATE NAME:
SYC Members only may request that their SOL boatname is changed to something piratical for this race! All info is here . Such a boatname change for this one race will not change your login credentials or affect your SYC rankings. You may join SYC at any time before race finish and have your name changed!

In May 2013 the world of sailing saw the tragic and premature death of Andrew “Bart” Simpson when the AC72 he was crewing, in practice for the America’s Cup, capsized in San Francisco Bay. A sailing foundation in his name was established and its annual sailing event, Bart’s Bash, is now the biggest in the world – raising funds to bring sailing to all. Sailonline invites all racers to consider contributing to the work of this charity, or to spread word of its work. Find out more by clicking on this image:

Sailonline’s Carib Rum Run 2021 will open for pre-race practice on Wednesday, 8 September at 1700utc.

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.

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024

Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.

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.
