What's this?! ... soft and lazy Danes ...?

Where's my horned helmet?

The starting point of most Danish viking raids was the biggest of the ring forts, Aggersborg.

However, the horrific and despicable act of sacking and looting the peaceful monastery in Lindisfarne must have been Norwegian raiders :-)

The polar is now set/reviewed and ready to race. The raid itself, according to history, was in June so... in June 2012 SOL will attempt to replicate the arrival of the longships at Lindisfarne on 8 June!!

At last!! :-D

This is what the polar looks like:

Excellent film (4 parts). I enjoyed watching. Thanks.
If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

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.
