Commentary
What a fun race! Sailonline’s first ever partner race with Newport Harbor Yacht Club, was the also the first outing for our new Santa Cruz 70. The real and virtual fleets stayed pretty much together, although the front-runners in the real fleet showed their legs from the start, but by the time the Sailonline SC70s started arriving in Cabo, the partying for the real fleet was well under way!

For the first couple of days the virtual fleet kept pace with the bulk of the real fleet and we would have probably stayed like that but for Neptune and the wind gods creating the most downhill of all possible conditions for the real fleet and the VO70, Pyewacket, took full advantage of this, arriving in a record corrected time of 2d 20h 50m 21s (elapsed: 1d 21h 22m 53s). It is only fair, however to compare our fleet of new virtual SC70s with the only SC70 in the real fleet, so, as Grand Illusion’s corrected time was 3d 0h 29m 35s, and our virtual winner, Chipspitter, arrived in 3d 3h 25m 31s, we did pretty well!

There was a wonderfully close finish, with RainbowChaser, having miraculously stayed in 1st place for several hours – fully mindful of the inevitability of being overtaken by a more southerly group of canny racers – ending 12th in a total group of 25 boats that arrived within 5m of the winner! A big “thank you” and “gracias” to NHYC for introducing us to such an enjoyable and intensely competitive event!

A total of 202 boats took part in this inaugural Cabo Race, flying the flags of 36 different nations, and our congratulations must go to our podium three representing GBR, POL and USA!

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)!
