Commentary

The 2025 Shetland Series has drawn to a thrilling close, delivering two unforgettable races across the challenging waters of the North Sea. From Norway’s striking Korsfjorden to the rugged Shetland Isles, and onward from Lerwick back to Bergen, our SOLers were tested to their limits aboard their sleek Salona 39s.

The opening leg set the tone with fierce competition—CriticalHippo of the USA claimed victory, followed closely by vida of Brazil and FreyjaUSA of the USA. The return leg brought fresh drama, as BRENTGRAY of South Africa seized first place, with rafa of Peru in second and Sax747 of Italy in third.

After two hard-fought races, consistency proved decisive: BRENTGRAY emerged as this year's overall series champion, with CriticalHippo taking second and Sax747 securing third. Congratulations to all who braved this demanding series!

Commentary

Sailonline’s 2025 Vasco da Gama Ocean Race once again delivered a masterclass in strategy, precision, and nerves of steel. Partnering with the Royal Natal Yacht Club, the virtual fleet tackled 254nm of challenging South African coastline in their powerful Farr 40s, facing shifting winds, strong currents, and no room for error.

From the gun, the competition was fierce. Italy’s Siaki sailed a perfectly executed race, securing his first-ever victory on Sailonline by just 10 seconds after an intense final leg! Pre-race preparation paid off, with Siaki spending time studying the polars to master the all-important angles—knowing that in the Farr 40, recovery through speed alone was impossible. Sticking to his plan, he positioned east of the fleet without overcommitting, covering rivals and adjusting constantly to stay ahead.

The decisive moment came on the approach to the coast, where careful positioning allowed him to extend slightly on his closest challenger, Kastor. Meanwhile, vida of Brazil and FreyjaUSA of the USA mounted exceptional late charges, making the final tacks into East London nail-biting for spectators and sailors alike!

In the end, the top three boats finished within 21 seconds of each other, a testament to the skill and determination across the fleet. Congratulations to Siaki on a brilliant and hard-fought win, and to all competitors for an unforgettable race worthy of Vasco’s legacy.

Marstrand to Cowes 2025 - RESULTS

Commentary

A fleet of 109 yachts set off from Marstrand, with the winners reporting to the finish line in Cowes after 10 days of sailing. Just beyond Skagen, after entering the North Sea, the front runners formed. The fleet then chose different route options, forming an impressive line, before gathering everyone back at almost a single point at Dower to see who had chosen the better route. The leg to the finish line in Cowes was the last chance to improve their position.

Ultimately, it turned out to be vida, Kipper1258, and WRmirekd who emerged victorious. It's interesting that the crews who were racing in their home waters weren't the ones who took the podium. Congratulations to the winners are especially deserved.

Tall Ships 2025 - RESULTS

Commentary

Another terrific Tall Ships Series completed on Saturday, August 9, when one of our Sailonliners of the first hour, Tamalone, flying the Swiss flag, crossed the finish of the last leg of the series in Esbjerg, just ahead of the time limit. In total more than 150 SOLers competed in at least one race of the 4-race series, and Tamalone was one of the stalwarts who raced them all; steadily and stubbornly in the spirit of SOL.

At the sharp end of the fleet, there were of course many others who got all four races in, and the racing was close, with many SOL-hounds having their day. In fact, ten different SOLers occupied the twelve podium opportunities across the four traces, with only the overall winner pepsPV5, a new SYC-member from Spain, and ALP317, from France and not yet an SYC-member, featuring twice.

Sensing perhaps that his victory in the longest and most challenging sea-crossing of the series from Le Havre to Aberdeen could be the harbinger of overall victory pepsPV5 has shared a report with us, which you will find under the silhouette of his tall ship above. Thank you and well done pepsPV5, and thank you and well done Sail Training International for allowing Sailonline to participate virtually once again in your celebration of sail, and, if the winds were as pleasant and suitable (moderate winds, often across the beam) in real life as they were online, we wager your celebration was equally sensational!

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
