Reports


Commentary
In reality, the Van Isle 360 is a race in several parts, but in recent years Sailonline has made this into a single circumnavigation course which truly does test all who race it seriously. Most SOLers choose bunk-time and make the race a sight-seeing event and there is ample wilderness to observe, especially if you take advantage of Sailonline’s Google Earth fleet overlay (available in every race). Inshore of Vancouver Island, B.C., on Canada's western coast. there is some spectacular sailing possible, while offshore, the formidable currents and weather systems can make things very challenging indeed.

This year, Sailonline’s choice of boat for the race was a Dufour 40

Some SOLers don’t mind what boat or conditions they are dealt, they simply out-perform the vast majority of us and gain the podium. Whether SOTP (Seat-Of-The-Pants) Corinthian-style or seeking guidance from a router, all is grist to the mill of those who push themselves to excel on our brilliant navsim platform. Our podium three, who battled and gained the top honours this time are to be congratulated. Well done guys! Read the reports linked above to see how two of our podium tackled the race.

Race name change:
Following a request from the Canadian authorities, we had to change the race name from "Van Isle 360 2020" to "Sailonline's Race Around Vancouver Island 2020" to avoid incitement with an IRL event, and this will probably be the name of this race in the future.

Roma per Tutti 2026


Sailonline are honoured and delighted to have been asked to partner an online first Roma per Tutti yacht race with organizing yacht club, Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . In real life, this will be the 33rd edition of this 540nm offshore race from Rome’s Riva di Traiano to the Aeolian Islands and back. Online, the race will not only be our first partnership with CN Riva di Traiano, but also the second race of our Magical Mediterranean series. A number of Mini 6.50s have been entered for the 33rd edition of the Roma per Tutti; so our own vintage Mini is also our virtual yacht of choice for this one.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!
