Description:
The Bass Strait is a tough place to sail but that does not put off hardy folk from Australia and further to test their skills. The waves that build in the Southern Ocean pile up in the shallow waters and gales regularly sweep past, providing a test of the best prepared boat. Flinders Island is located in the eastern part of Bass Strait and the course will provide an excellent test of judging weather and navigation.
Boat: V70_v4
106nm

2014-02-08 21:20:08 - Gibralter
Description:
The entrance to the Mediterranean Sea is a gateway, not just in geography but also in history. There are many legends of the area from the likes of the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Goths, Vandals, and Moors. It is even the last known holdout of the Neanderthals. Our tour starts in the Atlantic and voyages between Africa and Europe and through to the Med. Dare you pass through the gates?
Boat: f18
56nm

Tall Ships Races 2025 - Le Havre to Dunkirk


Welcome to the first of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . The course for this first race is between the French ports of Le Havre and Dunkirk; circa 125nm in Sailonline’s magnificent 90m Barque.
NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
