Sailonline is thrilled to announce the Channel Islands 500 Yacht Race, an exhilarating offshore challenge in collaboration with the Newport Harbor Yacht Club. This 500-nautical-mile race replaces the Newport Beach to Cabo San Lucas race and will take competitors through the breathtaking yet demanding waters around the Southern California Channel Islands.

Starting from Santa Barbara, competitors will navigate between Santa Cruz Island and Santa Rosa Island, rounding three key marks before racing down the coast to the finish line in San Diego. This course promises a tactical and strategic challenge, with sailors needing to plan their routes carefully to optimize speed and positioning.

For this edition, Sailonline has chosen the Melges 40, a cutting-edge, high-performance offshore one-design yacht. Designed by the Botin partnership and built by Premier Composite Technologies, this sleek and powerful racer is engineered for speed, precision, and exhilarating performance.

In an exciting addition to this year's event, the real-life fleet will be visible on the Sailonline platform, allowing our virtual sailors to race alongside them in real-time. This unique opportunity provides an immersive and competitive experience as online participants can test their skills against the actual competitors on the water.

The Sailonline race opens for registration and practice on Saturday, March 8, 2025, at 22:30 UTC, giving racers ample time to familiarize themselves with the course, platform and conditions.

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!
