Reports

Commentary
December 2011 and Sailonline’s first Asian Sprint series, retracing the path of 007 in his hunt for Scaramanga, in the movie “The Man with the Golden Gun”was coming to a close with this fourth leg from Singapore to Scaramanga’s island lair. In 2011, race results blogs were super-brief affairs and the only remark made to the podium was “Well done for leading the SOL Fleet to Scaramanga's lair in conditions that weren't ideal - the final "squall" on the run to the finish was particularly unwelcome!” which suggests that all may not have gone to plan. A decade later and instead of squalls, which might have been welcome for their energy, the bulk of the Sailonline fleet encountered super-light and occasionally fickle winds – it was as if the wind gods went out of their way to reward the leading group, leaving everyone else to dawdle in a roughly correct direction as best they could! So they did!

Our winner showed tremendous skill – arriving 6.1/2hrs before the second podium place taker, who was a mere 7m 3s ahead of the third! From then on, a steady stream of boats arrived over the next couple of days and then just a few until, at race close, it became clear that many more than usual wouldn’t reach the finish after 12 days on the virtual waters! Stats-wise, given the huge volume of ongoing racing, it was a good event, with 216 registered to race, flying the flags of 36 different nations.

Congratulations podium and a particular thank you to our winner, SlideRule, (and his boat-sitter HastySlug) for not only a super win but a truly informative Race Report and to Zorba777 for excellent insights into how the course raced this time!

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
