Reports

Commentary

The San Diego Islands Race is a classic run from Point Fermin, San Pedro California, to San Diego and its course is dependent on a variety of factors, chiefly how far off San Clemente the United States military chooses to fix its exclusion zone. This means that year to year the course maybe slightly altered so the race organisers have to plan for all eventualities, as does Sailonline as their virtual partner! This is a delightful part of the world and also home to some advanced technology USOs (unidentified submersible objects) which add mystery to the already challenging race course!


Real and Virtual Fleets together at the Finish

The race this time had a wide participation with 167 entrants flying the flags of 31 different nations and our TP52s raced well. Line Honours in the real race went to the converted VO70, Pyewacket, now owned and raced by Roy P Disney and new holder of the course elapsed time record, while our podium, drawn from Asia and Europe saw off fierce competition from the locals. This was one of the fastest Islands Races ever with consistent winds keeping the fleet moving apace. There was good competition throughout – and a swift glance through the leaderboard (linked above) reveals mini-competitions throughout the fleet.

Our thanks go to the real race organisers for entrusting us, once again, with one of California's prestige offshore races and we hope to see you all again next time!

Congratulations to our 2021 virtual podium for a truly remarkable finish – just THREE seconds separated first and second and a mere 7 seconds separated second and third – altogether a total of 29 boats finished in the first 10 minutes.

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)!

It’s one of the longer ones 6400nm, more than half way around the world (and the Antarctica). It starts the 2026 OCQ2, and will be sailed in our Steinlager 2, contrary to prior notice.
