Hi Folks, YuanHang here. 50 years old, English and living in England just about as far from the sea as possible!
I only started sailing 3 years ago, have a 21ft junk rigged boat on the Lincolnshire coast.
Far too slow to race in real life......me and the boat!

Hi SOLings, K3 here. 46, m, sailing as often as possible, still not enough. Many races when I was younger (Star), now more family sailing (H-boat) and some escapes on everything (Laser, 470, X-37) and occasional races.

SOL keeps me awake when I've to work at night.

Hola!

My name is Antonio

-42 yrs. old
-Homeport: San Juan, Puerto Rico
-Been sailing since I was 4 yrs. old. My dad taught me how to sail on a Sunfish he'd bought way before he married my mom! The bulk of my sailing lately was on a J/80 "Ex Mero Motu" which I owned for 13 years and sold it a year ago.

Cheers!

Here's Lars, aka. Mouthansar (pronounced 'mootanza' in case you ever wondered). I'm 54, from Denmark and live on the West coast of the island Copenhagen is on - very close to the Great Belt.
My first boat was an Optimist at 11 later replaced with a Flipper dinghy, before I graduated to yachts.
The last 6 years have been very regatta intensive - mainly on mid-size X-Yachts.
On the side I take care of an H-Boat for my yacht club. I also tend to a Feeling 1040 for the owner, who has no time to use it and wants me to give it as much excersize as possible.
SOL is intensely competitive, educational and extremely addictive.
Keep the intros coming: It's such a joy to see the (wo)man behind the nick.

I'm from Belgium, living near Antwerp. 50 years old, married, 3 children.
When I was 7 years, I was invited by a family-friend to make my first blue-water trip on his Swan40. Sailed for 10 years with that boat, mostly in the North-European waters. Later on I jumped into ocean racing and sailed twice around the world. Was involved in the Belgian Whitbread around the world race (Rucanor) and was owner of a VO60 (Tokio) until 1999.
Last year I participated in the ARC with a Beneteau 50.

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.
