Commentary
This race was first raced as the third leg of a series of four races in the 2011 Asian Sprints which aimed to retrace the route taken by James Bond in his pursuit of the villain Scaramanga in the movie “The Man with the Golden Gun” – not raced since then, it was fun to see our Orange Cats being raced so tactically in these waters again. The world of Sailonline UI has moved on considerably since then, and the levelling of the playing field between experienced racers and those relatively new to the platform (or who prefer to sail by “Seat Of The Pants”) continues. It felt like something of a trek to the first mark, with racers having to decide on their tactics as the winds were more than a little whimsical, a fair run to the second mark again saw a wide range of options being followed but once round Senau, by which time a leading group was pulling well ahead, as was our ultimate winner, so from then on it became something of a “follow my leader” affair, despite everyone's best efforts to make it otherwise.

When this race was first run, our podium place taker, AGage, arrived in 5 days 1hr so despite all the talk of climate change (which cannot be denied) and its impact on weather, it was interesting to see our winner, WRmirekd, arriving in 5 days 1hr at the front of a fleet of 175 boats, flying the flags of 34 nations, while his close follower, GREATSKUA, took the second place, as he did in 2011! The third member of our excellent podium, all of whom arrived mere moments before the following pack, was Garagiste, happy to bag his first podium spot of 2021. Many congratulations to all who took part but, of course, top honours to our winning threesome!

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)!
