Welcome to Santa Monica RonMiel Regatta

The idea of this regatta popped up when we visited the Hotel Santa Monica on Gran Canaria during Dec. 2010 and bought a bottle of local made rum flavoured with honey (RONMIEL).

What is the most common thing SOL´ers brag about? Salt spray, big waves, beer, BBQ, whisky and rum! So why not design a Canarian race for Hotel Santa Monica and set up a 1/2 litre bottle of RonMiel as a prize for the winner?

Well, here is the result. A 820Nm long regatta with using 90ft Monohull boats. The start and finish are located on the waters just outside the hotel and the course meanders around all of the Canarian islands to offer a various kind of sailing, which will reward the winner with a bottle of Guajiro RONMIEL sent to his/hers door step free of charge.

To make it easier for viewers and beginners, I have made two different manuals (1.c and 2).
Manual 1.c: Turns to those who only want to watch and follow the regatta via Google Earth.
Manual 2: Is a Full version guide for those who want to follow the regatta via SOL incl. leader board and for those who want to participate in the regatta incl. Practice a few days before start. Manuals are available in the hotel reception or can be sent by e-mail from there.

If you have any questions, pls. get your hands on Manual 2, register, log in and join the Race Chat (many languages, English most frequent). There you will meet sailors of all kind from all over the globe, so there will almost always be someone awake to help you.

There will be no entry fee for this regatta, so we kindly ask you to consider a small donation to the UNICEF to help our children all over the world like sailors in all time have helped each other over the seas.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Samoa to Hawaii


The second race of our new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, takes us northward again up the Pacific Ocean, now from Samoa at 13.5 degrees South, across the Equator to Hawaii, famed for its breaking surf and active volcanoes, on the edge of the Tropic of Cancer at 19.5 degrees North. It’s 2300nm, so we’ll take our very steady Steinlager II. Race #1982

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!

West Papua to Oregon 2026

Our next race in our Ocean Championships is the first of a series of great natural migrations we will track in 2026. The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed marine reptile on planet Earth, and chooses to breed in warm tropical waters, but prefers to forage in more temperate habitats, travelling thousands and thousands of miles effortlessly annually to maintain this way of life. Our race will follow one of the typical trips of this turtle, from breeding grounds in the seas off West Papua to the coast of Oregon. It’s only 5900nm, so to keep up, but in comfort, we’ll follow in our Gunboat 90.
