Commentary

This race was an unexpected addition to our Quarterly Calendar and it was with great pleasure that Sailonline received an enquiry from ASTO to run a virtual version of it’s traditional season-ending SSR (Small Ships Race). A tricky 21nm course was rapidly designed by ASTO and we found ourselves racing our gaff-rigged schooner (Class B Tall Ship) polar in the waters of The Solent – the body of water that separates the S coast of England from the Isle of Wight, in the English Channel/La Manche. A smaller race with a slightly different course, adjusted for winds on the day, took place in reality.

A fleet of 140 boats, flying the flags of 32 different nations (one of the largest spread of flags ever seen on our virtual waters) started keenly into relatively light conditions and despite a few mis-steerings from some, the competition started fierce and remained so. Round-the-cans racing is far from Sailonline’s original design purpose, which is ocean racing, but the combination of a tricky and short course with racing a schooner was really a delight and the race proved to be one of Sailonline’s more popular weekend events.

Our podium was hotly contended – just 24s separated 1st from 2nd and a tiny 4s separated 2nd from 3rd – with 23 boats arriving in the 10m after our winner! What a competition, with a new-to-Sailonline ASTO racer, ChallengeWales taking second place. Congratulations to our podium three and many thanks to all of them for making time to write reports for this Results Blog!

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)!
