Commentary
It is more than 10yrs ago that Sailonline first started racing in the waters off New Zealand. The SSANZ Triple series soon became a fast favourite and through this series and many other races that start in Auckland or race in the Hauraki Gulf, these waters have truly become like a home-from-home for many of us. In recent years Sailonline has enhanced its relationship with this three-race series by directly competing against the sailors of the Young 88 Owners Association – these days Young 88s sail in their own Division.

The only shadow over this year’s race was cast by the news of the death in June of Jim Young, the yacht builder and designer, at the age of 94, but for the Young 88s the race turned into a true celebration of the enduring nature of his design style and the report of the race of the real Young 88s can be read here. Sailonline’s race, of course, started with the real Young 88s at 0915 NZ time and it is a tribute to all European timezone racers that so many persisted on-course without resorting to their bunk.

The SSANZ Results show that the best corrected time for the Young 88 start, S/Y Mindbender was 7h28m19s (elapsed: 9h42m14s) while our winner, nacrr, arrived at the finish in 12h28m40s. The locals win, but Sailonline’s participation this time included racers flying the flags of 29 nations and while our winner had a startling 2m53s lead at the finish, the second and third spots were separated by 30s and to the line they were being chased by a sizeable pack – a total of 10 boats finished within the first 10 minutes. An excellent result, guys, very well done – we’ve made a good start to this year’s series!

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)!
