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.

If you are interested in the Hotel Santa Monica with surroundings, pls. go to Google Earth and click on the small blue boxes and watch the up loaded photos from me and other visitors.

Finally we wish you a thrilling experience of this regatta

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!
