Sloop, I totally agree with you. So filika is also heading off into the sunset. Had already in 2010 experienced that SOL became something that was not that fun anymore. I did a restart prior the last VO70 around the world race, and had a good first leg, finished top 30. But then the hollow emptiness once more crept into my attitude against SOL sailing. It is just not as fun as it used to be. This is probably due to a mixture of things: I am not able/willing to dedicate the time needed to more than participate, the router / non-router question (I am a non-router aestetics myself), a feeling that SOL sailing gets a bit repetitive, you name it.
Long gone are the days when filika was top ten in overall ranking, and it is not likely that those days will return.
Also , the IRL filika is no longer around (she was our beloved cat who finally became old and sick), so it is perhaps just logical to fade into the void for awhile.
Might be back someday for some occasional SOL sailing though.
All the best to the whole SOL community and to the SOL gods who do a splendid work.

filika - so sorry to hear you have decided not to continue SOLing, but obviously have to respect your decision. I do hope, however, you will keep an eye out for the occasional race that you enjoy(ed), and that we will see you SOLing from time to time in the future.

Roma per Tutti 2026


Sailonline are honoured and delighted to have been asked to partner an online first Roma per Tutti yacht race with organizing yacht club, Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . In real life, this will be the 33rd edition of this 540nm offshore race from Rome’s Riva di Traiano to the Aeolian Islands and back. Online, the race will not only be our first partnership with CN Riva di Traiano, but also the second race of our Magical Mediterranean series. A number of Mini 6.50s have been entered for the 33rd edition of the Roma per Tutti; so our own vintage Mini is also our virtual yacht of choice for this one.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!
