2020 Q2 SRC Review

As predicted, the pandemic hit real life sailing across the world and to such an extent that virtual sailing programmes have been flooded with requests to host sailing competitions. Unfortunately, the impact of COVID19 came after the Calendar for Q2 had been published and so SRC had limited opportunities to accommodate many of the requests as the Calendar was full. In addition, many of the requests were commercial in nature and thus were not of interest to SOL which is a ‘not for profit’ organisation. Another section of the requests seemed to request that SOL host a virtual sailing race just offshore from the actual club whose members were stranded onshore. One splendid feature of SOL is that we can take you to race anywhere in the world, in a wide range of yachts, all instantly and hopefully the applicants from these parochial clubs could now appreciate that SOL can and does go almost wherever we want.

However, there was one request that originated from such a well-known and respected source which represented a world sailing centre that SOL bent over backwards to accommodate its expression of interest… Report continues here

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.
