Commentary

The Bay of Biscay does not enjoy the best reputation in the sailing community. Due to the profile of the seabed (approx. 80 nm west of the coast of Brittany, the continental shelf begins), there is significant wave generation by the procession of Atlantic Lows turning northward under the influence of the Azores Highs. There can be phenomenal waves at the edge of the shelf. With a strong and longer storm, there is no way to escape from the bay, as the shores of Aquitaine and Brittany get closer ...

This time however, the wind gods clearly decided to leave us alone and a sunny weather forecast brought 143 yachts representing 30 countries at the start in San Sebastian. For the fourth time, we were hosts for a virtual race organized as part of one of the stages of a virtual training cruise around Europe for a group of Polish students of the art of sailing. Therefore, it was not surprising that a 20 yacht Polish armada was present on the starting line.

Four Polish sailors reached the finish line in the top 20, which is an excellent result considering the fact that many of them were online racing for the first time. Our winner, Denmark's Bimmer, completed the race in 36h 19m 4s and the podium streamed in a mere 17s behind him. Gentlemen, a very good job; congratulations all finishers and come back soon!

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)!
