2026-09-14 18:13:19 - Carib Rum Run 2026




AHOY THERE, YE RUM-GUZZLIN’ ROGUES!

On 19 September at 05:00 UTC Sailonline will start its annual race to collect barrels of rum from Carib distilleries and deliver what remains of their contents to Cancun, Mexico. This year the race will start on International Talk Like a Pirate Day (Sept 19)!

All SYC Members are hereby invited to adopt a pirate name for this race only.

If you are a paid-up SYC Member or if you join SYC during the Carib Rum Run you may request a change of your usual Sailonline boat name just in this one race to one of your piratical preference!

Names are agreed on a first-come, first-served basis BUT all must be suitable and "fit to print", Sailonline is a family-friendly site so we reserve the right to disallow names we consider inappropriate.

All requests for such changes will only be actioned if posted in this thread - hollering in chat is fun, but only by posting here can you guarantee your pirate name! You may pre-request a name in advance of the race opening for practice.

PLEASE DO CHECK THE LIST BELOW before submitting a request so that you don't ask for a name already taken by someone else before you!

Please note that the change of boat name for this one race will not affect either your usual login credentials (username and password) or your SYC rankings.

Once the race opens, as always, I will be endeavouring to change boat names as efficiently as possible!

REMINDER: you may join SYC and, once your burgee is visible, request a change of name for the race at any time up to and during the Carib Rum Run until race close!

CriticalHippo be commandeered for this race by Cap'nNeckbeard

Arrr, CriticalHippo! Ye’ve been thoroughly commandeered for this race by the notorious Cap'nNeckbeard! Hand over the helm, surrender yer cargo, and prepare to sail under a new, bristling banner. May yer thick hide protect the ship from rocky shores, and may Cap'nNeckbeard lead ye straight to a mountain o' plunder!

rodm67 be commanded by Whinin' Harvey Dagger

Arrr, rodm67! Ye’ve been thoroughly overtaken and renamed by the infamous Whinin' Harvey Dagger! May yer ears survive the relentless bellyaching from the helm, and may yer blade stay sharper than Harvey's tongue when the salt pork runs thin. Stand to attention, Harvey, and brace yerself for a very vocal voyage!

Saltheart Ripper I'll be, with a cask of rum soaked kipper.

Arrr, Saltheart Ripper! A fierce name, though packin' rum-soaked kipper in the hold of the mighty Falkun might clear the deck faster than a broadside! May yer salty heart rip through the Caribbean waves as ye slalom the rum islands straight to Cancun. Hoist the sails and let the plunder begin!

Aye Patrick,

me nom de Guerin ta be Red Devil if ye please.

I'll buy you a drink if ya let me beat 'cha, otherwise I'll jest beat 'cha.

Arrr, Red Devil! A fiery name for a pirate who relies on pure intimidation! Ye can try to beat the fleet through the rum islands, but I'll be holdin' ye to that free drink when ye drop anchor in Cancun! May yer sails burn hot and yer cutlass strike true, ye crimson menace!

Me am Captain Rat, as perusual. And no bad replicas, you threelegged pigs!

Arrr, Captain Rat! The one true rodent of the Caribbean returns to claim his rightful throne! No three-legged pig or bad replica could ever match the original stench of yer finest plundered rum. May yer whiskers twitch with the scent of victory as ye slalom the rum islands all the way to Cancun!

Boat rthinman has been commandeered by Sir Ious Trouble, who has a letter of marque to privateer in Caribbean waters. Because privateering is so much more respectable than piracy.

Arrr, Sir Ious Trouble! A fine letter of marque to privateer in these Caribbean waters is a grand way to start the race! May yer respectable sails carry ye swiftly through the islands as ye gather yer rum cargo straight to Cancun. Set yer course, Sir, and let's see how much exciting trouble ye can stir up on the water!

Arrgh! Fore this race I would like the name:

Brellie McBoatFace

Thanks!

Arrr, Brellie McBoatFace! A legendary name for a true scallywag of the sea! May the Caribbean winds fill yer sails as ye slalom through the rum islands, and may yer grand name bring a smile to every pirate ye pass on the way to Cancun. Clear the decks and let the fun begin!

Hello Patrick,
The “KaSToR” will be dressed up as the “Chasse-Marée” for this race, the nickname of François Grognier, one of the most famous buccaneers, privateers, and pirates of the Caribbean Sea, active from 1681 to 1686.
Thank you,
Philippe,
who just hopes to make it to the starting line

Arrr, Chasse-Marée! A legendary name steeped in rich history for this grand Caribbean race! Modeled after the great François Grognier himself, may the spirit of the old buccaneers guide ye safely to the starting line and swiftly through the rum islands. Hoist the colors, and may yer voyage to Cancun be one for the history books!

GetAPatch is back again as Go4iT was just too tame. Respect me broadside!

Arrr, GetAPatch! Welcome back to the fleet, ye fierce scallywag! Leaving that tame name behind is just what a proper pirate needs before tackling the Caribbean rum islands. We’ll all be respecting yer broadside as ye plot yer course straight for Cancun. Stand tall at the helm and let 'em hear yer thunder!

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
