Commentary
Over the years Sailonline has raced to and around Hawaii but it has never had the privilege to be buddied with one of the host yacht clubs who run the real races to Hawaii. While #COVID19 is locking the world down and changing the way so many of us live our lives, including those who ocean race, Sailonline is fortunate to be able to continue its racing unchallenged and, moreover, is sufficiently flexible an organisation to work with those yacht clubs who have had to cancel their events. One such is Pacific Cup Yacht Club, the organisers of The Fun Race to Hawaii who had had to abandon their biannual event from San Francisco to Hawaii and, learning of our NavSim, decided to host a virtual event.

From the moment the starting gun fired, the fleet of 397 registered boats, flying the flags of 43 different nations, were on fire – the camaraderie and tales of previous real races together with the swapping of navigational tips between those new to Sailonline and our “old hands” meant that the 10-day race was perhaps one of the most entertaining and enjoyable we have ever raced! Read the wonderful reports linked above to see how some of our racers felt! Hopefully by 2022 the real racers will be back on the water but, if Sailonline is allowed to race the virtual event again, we will most certainly be following your progress!

Many congratulations to our podium three of two frequent racers on Sailonline and one top SOLer who recently returned after a break – but the top group were a perfect blend of real racers and SOLers. Well done to everyone who completed the race with spirits and energy intact - MaiTai’s in Kaneohe were waiting for everyone (see JokerForever report!).

PIC Coastal Classic Yacht Race 2026

Kia Ora, SOLers! Welcome back to Auckland for the 2026 PIC Coastal Classic! In partnership with the New Zealand Multihull Yacht Club, Sailonline is thrilled to bring you this iconic 118nm legendary sprint to Russell.

Expect the unexpected on this tricky course up the North Island's East Coast—from adrenaline-fueled spinnaker rides to nail-biting pre-dawn lulls. This year, we take on the elements in the highly popular Seacart 30. Designed by Marc Lombard, this nimble trimaran features a challenging polar that rewards pure tactical precision.

Chart your course, conquer the coastal currents, and race for ultimate bragging rights! Upon crossing the finish line in scenic Russell, the traditional reward of bacon butties and rum awaits!

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!
