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 - 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.
