Beginning to wish I'd never done this. Started on a DC, 5 hours playing poker, come home to see I'm 419th with no idea where anyone else is, basic maths is beyond me, BER Bonzo telling me there's no-one more north except some Slovakian boat, she's probably lying. God, what a mess.

All in all, I could do without seeing my placing....

It's definitely tougher on the nerves! Remember that you're allowed a peek at the fleet each update. Some of us have committed to sailing fully blind, but I'll be checking in once daily.

I'm not going to check in at all. How will I know if anyone has finished? In fact, has everyone finished? :-)

New rule #5 - everyone lie to Baggus. Rule #4 encourages us to support Bonzo, and the unwritten rule #4 1/2 (all in good fun) clearly implies that he be made to suffer.

heh heh. Is there any way in which we can see how this race unfolded after the finish? It's all very weel doing it blind, but I'd like to know where all the fast boats went, then maybe we could work out why. Screen shots every 12 hours perhaps?

I'm doing screenshots every 24 and compositing them. It's going to look super cool!

I suspect that after forgetting about this race for almost a week that I may be a little way adrift......

Newport Bermuda Race 2026


The 636-mile Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet and the Sydney Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. First raced in 1906, now in its 54th biennial, the Race can again also be participated in online. In real life, the race is open to entry in four different division – Double-Handed, St. David's Lighthouse, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, and Finisterre Division – which in the past we have also offered online. This year, however, our online race will be all-in one-design in silky swift Club Swan 50 yachts, so that your results can count towards SOL’s SUPerBUDdy title, whilst hopefully still giving you a chance of overall line honours against the fastest yachts of the real-life Gibbs Hill Division, especially if you can find some forecast winds that don’t quite work out that way on the real water!

Shetland Race 2026 - Leg 1


Get ready to tackle the North Sea as we sail from Norway’s stunning outer Korsfjorden to the rugged Shetland Isles! Welcome to an exciting new chapter for this classic 190-nautical-mile ocean route, bringing our global community together for a true test of strategy and seamanship.

This year, the race is a proud stop in Sailonline's 2026 Super Buddy Championship, which features our real-life racing partnerships over the calendar year. We are stepping aboard the Linjett 33, a sturdy Swedish cruiser-racer designed by Mats Gustavsson and built by Rosättra Båtvarv. Seasoned veteran or eager newcomer, prepare for intense competition.

Thessaloniki to Port Said 2026

Welcome back to the Eastern Mediterranean for the fifth race of our Magical Mediterranean Series. Only marginally less unlikely to be ever raced in real life during SOL’s lifetime than our previous race from Tobruk to Iskenderun, this 710nm race takes us from Greece’s ancient northern port of Thessaloniki through the Aegean island maze, south east into the Levantine Sea to a finish in modern Port Said, in splendid Swan 65s!
