Commentary
There is something about the Christmas race that really begins to set the scene for the festive season! Maybe it is just the name? Maybe it is the multiplicity of choices (a bit like deciding which gift to open first)? Whatever it is, it brings out the comradely competitive nature of Sailonline and shows it’s platform to perfection – with the new HTML5 client and optional wind speed contours and arrow density, the screen truly “pops”. This is a long race – 5,827nm in all – and this year we raced the original E-W course which, given the changing nature of our climate and the earth’s wind patterns, didn’t offer the usual almost-predictability of how it would sail and, startlingly, the around-Australia route which in previous years, since it became an option, has always been fast proved to be scenic rather than speedy!

A fleet of 290 boats took part, flying the flags of 40 different nations (one of the highest number of nations taking part since Sailonline began) which boded well for a highly competitive event, and so it proved to be – just look at the leaderboard and throughout the list you can spot groups arriving so closely together, showing that while it must be awesome to take a podium place, there is always competition further back in the fleet!

Many congratulations must go to our all European podium this time – very well done indeed! The challenge is now set for next year!

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)!

It’s one of the longer ones 6400nm, more than half way around the world (and the Antarctica). It starts the 2026 OCQ2, and will be sailed in our Steinlager 2, contrary to prior notice.
