Was indeed the case. It was at the height of the sanctions and it was a political decision to bypass S.A. (Isolation years)

My SAF friends in Aus tell me that the sporting sanctions (particularly cricket and rugby) had a greater effect than the economic bans and any diplomatic lobbying against apartheid.

That is correct to a certain degree. S.A. was self reliant to a large extent for quite a number of years. The sport and cultural blockade hurt more for many as it seemed that the world would literally ignore us and pass us by... In other ways it was the silent economic blockade that slowly strangled the business sector as imports of foreign goods was not allowed... Sport was the key though imo... It managed (eventually)to do a lot in ridding S.A of apartheid

Log Entry #01
02JAN1900Z start brought 16kt winds from the south that freshened to the low 20s in the next two hours and clocked marginally.
The fleet fanned out north of the rhumb-line, with no single strategy standing out against the others.

Are there more log entries to come, javakeda? I'm sure it's not only me that (will) appreciate(s) them ;)

Was just thinking it would not only be fun/cool to have log entries from javakeda but also, if we could find em, notes from Steinlager's own sail back in 1989 ... any ideas how we could get hold of them?

That would be incredibly awesome... I'll do some digging if I can get in touch with the navigator on the race (who gave me the boat polar) and see if he has a copy of the log

Current Races:

Quiberon Islands 2026


The Quiberon peninsula extends as a submerged granite ridge a further 15nm or so beyond the La Teignouse lighthouse on the rocks off its southern tip, surfacing as two small islands, Houat and Hoedic, the duck and duckling in Breton, 5nm and 10nm beyond the light. Treacherous, tidal waters, but on SOL that daunts us not. Of course, we've raced here before, mostly Timed Runs out of Quiberon around Belle Ile, just south of the islets, and back, but this time it's a sprint from Belle Ile's capital of Port Marie round the foul fowl and back. A triangular course of 22nm, appropriately enough for Moody S38.

This rugged and spectacular course tests both endurance and strategy as our SOLers navigate open ocean and ever-changing conditions. Racing the powerful Riptide 50, our SOLers will need precision, timing, and smart routing to master this iconic out-and-back course and secure a strong result!

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.
