Hi all,

We are almost at the end of a great and long batlle from Panama to San Francisco. I followed a bit of feedback in the chat and I think its nice to hear how you all feel about the race length we provide.

We are looking to host a wide range of races in all sort of lengths. Maybe we can tweak something or give a better preview of what to expect before subscribing, like a rough estimate in days.

Let us know what you think

Hi Jeroen
As a new boy from the BWR I like the lengths of race you are putting on here - I think it's great to mix up the short (Finnish Lake was good) with the long - and I think you're choice of courses is great - Naples to Tripoli very good.
I find the longer races are different tactically to the short ones.
So, I suppose I'm saying that I like the mixture!
Panama SF was great - 2 weeks. Maybe from my point of view one of those a month mixed in with a couple of sprints?

I say like watermaster. The mix is good. Long and short races are different type of tactics.

I like it too!
But it feels like the short races are more pure luck, at least with the 15 sec update. So maby the short races (less than 10 hours) should give lower points?
(maby i should be quiet: my two best results are in short races :P)

Race distance and time to complete is challenging as any race should be. Keep up the good work. Look forward to Route de Rumbe.

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.

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)!
