Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race 2025

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited to partner the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race to our online community.

The TuziTekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa, from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.

Our online version of the race will be a TIMED event, and will be open to all comers from June 1 12:00 UTC onwards for two weeks, over which period you may attempt as may runs as you like, always, however, after having first finished your previous run(s).

Sailonline’s virtual yacht for all your runs will be our much-loved Farr 38, a boat that will relish the always challenging conditions along the east coast of South Africa.

So, join us for an exhilarating virtual journey. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a passionate spectator, the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race on Sailonline.org offers a thrilling blend of competition and camaraderie.

Experience the excitement from the comfort of your home! Don't miss out on the opportunity to test your sailing skills in the online race and be part of the virtual yachting event!

Report

Commentary

The Sailonline virtual fleet was greatly honoured to be afforded the opportunity for the first time to race Italy's premier offshore Regata dell'Accademia Navale in company with the real fleet, in beautiful, although typically rather light, early season Tyrrhenian weather.

With "Officine Gullo Kitchens" as one of the regatta's main sponsor, virtual competitor and one of our stalwarts of the Italian Sailonline fleet, SCARABOCCHIO, the scribbler, came up with the idea of ​​ sharing typical culinary aspects of the regions touched by the race - two meals a day, four courses a day - with wine pairings by fellow online Italian ita10267. SCARABOCCHIO always sails a good race as well, just missing the podium in this one, so under the buttonized Italian ensign above you will find his race report, thinly disguised as a menu card, complete with links to all the recipes and wines.

Back to the racing, which, after the leader WRmirekd, as we approached Capri, missing the turning mark under the south coast of the island and stopping for a swim, became a mighty tussle between Smo, bonknhoot and FreyjaUSA. Trading tacks all the way back upwind to Livorno, it was FreyjaUSA who ultimately took the gun, by just 9 seconds from bonknhoot, and Smo only a further 10 seconds behind. Quite the race and quite a gourmet feast!

Commentary

This course proved to be long and the winds challenging. Thankfully SOL does not incorporate the Gulf Stream currents, although we are certain that some SOLers would welcome that added fun. 32 boats finished in under 24 hours with the top competitors finishing in under 22 hours. A total of 76 boats completed at least one run. The podium finishers were amazingly close with 69 seconds separating the 1st and 2nd positions, and a mere 20 seconds between 2nd and 3rd. Congratulations and thank you to all who participated!

101 boats completed at least one run in the 2025 Sea Lion TIMED race down in the Falkland Islands. However, it wasn't until midway into the 2nd week of racing on day 11 that the winning times were turned in. The top finishers completed their best times in just over 12 hours with KaSToR eking out the win by only 18 seconds over CriticalHippo in 2nd who just edged Patrick70119 by 1 minute. In all a total of 33 boats finished their fastest runs in under 13 hours. Well done everyone!

Africa by Sea - Abidjan to Swakopmund


Our exploration of Africa by Sea continues. Next, it’s off to Swakopmund, on the water’s edge of the Kalahari desert. It’s a wind-blasted coast, and a venue of choice for those seeking to set wind-powered speed records. More likely than not, we’ll have to beat into it in our Steinlager II, to finally find some shelter behind the walls of Platz am Meer where there is a marina of sorts. Only 2200nm!

Newport to Annapolis 2025


The Newport to Annapolis race, first held in 1947, is one of the most historic and well-known US East Coast blue water races. Linking two seaports dating from the US nation's birth, Annapolis and Newport, the race contrasts the country's largest estuary, the Chesapeake Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean. Since 1969, the route has run from Annapolis through the Chesapeake Bay to Newport. The SOLers will sail 470nm in their Carkeek40s in the original direction from Newport to Annapolis, including the Chesapeake, which is such a daunting challenge that the 1997–98 Whitbread Round the World Race for the Volvo Trophy added it to the course, as did the Volvo Ocean Race in 2002 and 2006.

Transat à Deux 2025

Above you see a single-handed sailor semi-foiling his Beneteau Figaro III to the horizon. It is in fact Ireland’s Sailor of the Year and the overall winner of last year’s Solitaire du Figaro, Tom Dolan. Somehow, we got our hands on a polar for the Class, and rather than trying to surreptitiously track Tom and his mates in the 2025 edition of the Solitaire, sailing rather-short, single-handed legs across the Celtic Sea and Biscay, we thought we’d see how our virtual craft would fare on the Class’s double-handed 3900nm Trans-Atlantic, from somewhere in Brittanny to somewhere in the Caribbean via somewhere in the Canaries. Allez, mes braves!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Toamasina to Baia de l'Oiseau


You may recall that when last we visited Madagascar in the company of Sinbad, the Sultan commanded our intrepid inspirator to seek out fabled islands where in Summer the sun barely set. We did and we returned but the Sultan wasn’t happy with Sinbad’s report, so here we go again, now by SOL Balloon instead of sailing vessel. Expect to be in the air for at least 2100nm and depending on how the wind brings us, anything between two weeks and two months before we shall descend at the Sultan’s given coordinates!
