Reports

Commentary

It scarcely seems a year since Sailonline last watched the PIC Coastal Classic fleet depart from Auckland for this wonderful mixed-fleet race to Russell, up the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island. The Start Video by LiveSailDie shows just how light the start conditions were although our virtual 60ft trimarans were marginally luckier without the real currents to contend with.

As always a superb report of the real race is available from Sailworld here and, of course, the full results are posted on the race’s homepage here.

Winds on the nose once past North Head meant that the fleet had its work cut out to find the best run to Cape Brett – the virtual fleet has an open run, which means that going well outside The Hen and Chickens is certainly an option, although that was not popular. A leading group soon formed but, sadly, some distance behind the front runners in the real race and, if you read the reports posted above, you’ll see how it was for those keenly competing for top honours in these difficult windward conditions. Our winner, WRmirekd, arrived in a record time all right – sadly the slowest recorded time ever for a Sailonline winner of the Coastal Classic – 23h 23m 59s! Even back in 2009 and 2010 when we raced Young 88s the winds let us arrive in half that time – what a change from our best winning time in 2019!

With a fleet of 147 racing, flying the flags of 33 nations, there was good competition for the podium with 10 boats arriving within 10m of our winner. Our podium must of course be congratulated for taking the stop spots – our winner was 29s ahead of the second place taker, who was more than a minute ahead of the third. Very well done guys – a tougher than usual Coastal Classic so an excellent result!

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)!
