Commentary

The fourth Timed course of the year saw us at Belle Isle, which is shorter than the previous Timed courses this year in distance and expected time. One benefit is that it's more likely for a run to be completed within a single Wx, thus reducing the potential unpredictability of the run's success. An exceptionally lucky SOLer could, at least theoretically, set all the DCs at the start and finish with a competitive time. Of course, there are offshore marks that are easily missed and overshooting a mark can mean a much less favourable wind angle to the next mark and hence a slower time. As usual, several attempts were ruined when marks were rounded on the wrong side.
The 16 day window saw a total of 285 successfully completed runs from 101 skippers, which can be viewed here. The course regularly saw attempts down to around 3.5 hours long, but wind conditions that enabled breaking that barrier were considerably more scarce. In fact, the best winds were found in the afternoon/evening UTC of 23 April; 53 of the 54 runs under 3 hours long started on 23 April UTC. The fastest run was set by sassy63 with a time of 2:41:07, with 4242's and WRmirekd's best attempts being 42 and 49 seconds slower, respectively. Notably, 4242's run landed them their debut podium on Sailonline. However, it wasn't quite fast enough to beat the winning time set in 2020. But there's always next time, isn't there? :-)

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)!

Welcome to yet another all-new route. This next race is part of our Ocean Championship as well as the ROW series. Falklands to Tasmania, is like last year's island to island. 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.
