Reports

Commentary

In the days leading up to this race there was hardly any wind, causing an early practice sailor to remark that we would take a week to reach Dubrovnik. Luckily, on race day the winds picked up nicely near the start in Venice, giving the 150 sailing boats an easy start and a good night's sleep.

At the first waypoint on Cres island the difference between the top 30 boats was very small, but that was certain to change on the second day, when a tricky navigation between the numerous beautiful Croatian islands was on the program. SOLers shared memories from IRL sailing in this region (see bonknhoot's colorful report) while we kept going at a good cruising pace.

WRmirekd had squeezed out a small advantage, with local heros SimeMali and Leelu22 not far behind, with bonknhoot and at least 10 other boats still seeing chances too. Boats went into the second night with favorable and steady winds, which allowed many to pass the narrow channels between the island on DCs. That could have been a lot harder! This kept the race very tight, but it was SimeMali who found a way to get past WRmirekd to win in front of the historic old walls of Dubrovnik. WRmirekd was an excellent 2nd and Leelu22 finished 3rd, making for two Croatian boats on the podium. Well done, friends!

We all know how hard it is to pass WRmirekd once he gets a lead. So, we can only guess how SimeMali found a way to win. But probably willpower had something to do with it too. See Mirek's detailed report on how it happened from his point of view. Useful reading for anyone who wants to get on (or closer to) the podium. Congratulations SimeMali on a perfect race in home waters!

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)!
