Commentary
The A3 - Agage's Around Australia Series was first designed in 2012 following the sudden death of Aaron Gage and our departure from Adelaide back then was set against a background of great sadness. Eight years on and SOL’ers continue to remember Aaron, almost daily, and we continue our re-running of this epic series (this time with two discards!) sharing fond memories and smiling at what a contribution Aaron made. He would be stoked!

So, having started in Adelaide, then visited Melbourne and Hobart, the third leg of our 2020 commemorative nine-race series took us back to the mainland, to Sydney, that mecca of yachting and birthplace of the International 18ft skiff. With yachting, like much of the rest of life, closed down, it was an empty harbour – not a skiff to be seen to embarrass our rather more pedestrian First 47.7s – that welcomed our COVID-burgeoned fleet after 3 days of mostly hard slog into the wind, thankfully virtually.

As for the race itself, well, 39 was mostly the magic number, and the main challenge was how far west to tack to get further into the lift on said 39 and then tack back onto a northerly course to gradually ease sheets and finally gybe and hold offshore before hardening up onto a hot course for Sydney Heads in a finally dying breeze. Some didn't tack at all or only very little and some went way too far, but it was temporarily redundant restaurateur Ricotina who, it turned out in the end, got it just right. Superbly judged! And once we can all move about again, be sure to travel to Santa Stefano to celebrate and enjoy the fine food he serves up in his quayside Ristorante Il Moletto!!

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)!
