Sailonline.org is delighted to be able to partner with the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron to bring the virtual Brisbane to Hamilton Island Yacht Race to simulated sailing navigation enthusiasts around the world.

Race start time: Friday 5th August 2021 at 1100 AEST (0100 UTC)

The Brisbane to Hamilton Island Yacht Race on Sailonline will run at the same time as the real race allowing virtual sailors to sail against the actual boats in the Race.

Having done a few Brisbane to Keppel races with RQYS over the years, this time we are using our polar for a 100ft maxi which we hope can be a match for the several maxis entered in the real-life race.

In cooperation with the race’s tracker provider, YB Tracking, Sailonline is hoping to display all the real-life boats on its virtual racing screen so online navigators can see how they are faring against the real fleet. This dramatically enhances the interactive experience and is a great way for family and friends of crew members to be involved while following the yacht.

The virtual Brisbane to Hamilton Island Yacht Race on Sailonline.org will open for practice on Saturday, July 30th. Everyone is invited to come and join in so that they will gain the most fun when the real race starts.

Carib Rum Run 2026


Ahoy, ye landlubbers and seasoned salts! Welcome back to Sailonline’s legendary Carib Rum Run, perfectly timed to kick off on International Talk Like a Pirate Day, 19 September!

This year, we command the magnificent Falkun—the ultimate high-tech superyacht modeled after the iconic Maltese Falcon. This 1759nm slalom takes us through the Caribbean’s rum islands to plunder barrels from local distilleries and deliver them to the rum-parched sands of Cancun.

Join SYC before the finish to disguise yer boat with a pirate name for this race only. Hoist the sails, sharpen yer cutlasses, and plot your winning course!
