Commentary

A pleasant sou' sou' westerly was blowing out from sea across the probably deserted beaches as a hundred of the 133 entries hardened up, as the gun went on the committee boat offshore Lao, for a long beat out to Kihnu Island and a port hand rounding for home via Sorgu Majakas. An inside lift on port saw the leaders all ease sheets once the tip of Manija was cleared towards a tacking point to the east south east. Timing the tack was key and it was Starship form the USA who judged it best to show in the lead as the fleet reached the northern tip of Kihnu, to hold onto it all the way to the finish.

The struggle behind Starship for the minor places, however was fierce, and a finely judged tack for Kihnu Light saw the returning rumskib go into P2, only to lose it again at the Light to and equally finely judged rounding by bonknhoot. And so it remained to the finish, a bon and a hoot finely sandwiched between two interstellar travellers – rum is Danish for space, Raum, and skib is Danish for ship, Schiff, and Starship is as is well known what Jefferson Airplane became when that band went stratospheric. So welcome back to the podium rumskib and well won, Starship, and also bonknhoot clinching the Q2 Sprints 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)!
