Race Leaderboard

This now-classic Sailonline race was designed for us in 2010 by a group of Turkish SOLers, and at the time it was a total voyage of discovery as not only had we not sailed in the Black Sea at that time, but most of us were unaware of just how long the Turkish coastline really is. As one of Sailonline’s “must sail” races, this course-of-three-zones is very challenging – initially some dislike it because of this, but over time, as we race the course year on year, one cannot help but realise that it truly is one of our best own-design courses! Perhaps one day it will be raced in reality!

From the fleet split at the start this year to the final sprint for the line, we all saw our top finishers really tested - our podium three are to be truly congratulated on their achievement. To take one of the three top spots after such a race is the stuff of SOL legend. Well done all!

If this was your first time racing in the Black Sea, don’t forget you are now entitled to add the the Sailonline Honours Badge of the Realm of the Czar

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
