Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race 2025

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited to partner the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race to our online community.

The TuziTekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa, from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.

Our online version of the race will be a TIMED event, and will be open to all comers from June 1 12:00 UTC onwards for two weeks, over which period you may attempt as may runs as you like, always, however, after having first finished your previous run(s).

Sailonline’s virtual yacht for all your runs will be our much-loved Farr 38, a boat that will relish the always challenging conditions along the east coast of South Africa.

So, join us for an exhilarating virtual journey. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a passionate spectator, the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race on Sailonline.org offers a thrilling blend of competition and camaraderie.

Experience the excitement from the comfort of your home! Don't miss out on the opportunity to test your sailing skills in the online race and be part of the virtual yachting event!

Report

Commentary

To quote Jimmy Greaves again (it wasn't Bill Shankly), 'Football is a game of two halves' and so was this race across the Atlantic in our new foiling Figaro IIIs, which alas, with the wind almost entirely moderate and from astern, mostly flopped rather than foiled over the entire month that we were at sea.

The first half then was a typical dash across Biscay to a point somewhere off Finisterre to then ride south on the prevailing Portuguese Norde wind and on to Africa. Other than how close or how far off to pass Finisterre, there were no other strategic options, so the leaders were all still very close as they passed the La Palma canary, although a few people took an extended half-time break there.

The second half too remained a close-fought battle for many, many days, with the North East Trades proving to be particularly predictable, but after more than a week of foil-flopping, choices began to be necessary. Some got it wrong and some got it right, of whom Appo38 got it most right of all to achieve his first SOL victory and an impressive 1-3 for France together with his compatriot YANN in this very French regatta in very French boats. Magnifique!

Commentary

The course through the Bosphorus is narrow and routers are not helpful. To do well one must follow the polar and risk the coast, and above all make a good rounding. The rounding is key and more than one yacht found themselves in dire straits due to a poor rounding. With concentration and focus positions could be gained back, but only if the coast was avoided. Congratulations are deserved for the podium who managed it best. To see how it went for the top two please click the buttons above and read their reports.

77 boats registered, 12 decided to stay on shore and watch, and 14 were lost at sea at the time the race closed. For our second Q2 sprint amazingly 9 boats finished within 46 seconds. With one sprint left in Q2 the quarterly rankings are close with Patrick70119, rafa, and CollegeFund all within 3 points of each other. Be sure not to miss the June sprint.

Report

Commentary

The Sailonline virtual fleet was greatly honoured to be afforded the opportunity for the first time to race Italy's premier offshore Regata dell'Accademia Navale in company with the real fleet, in beautiful, although typically rather light, early season Tyrrhenian weather.

With "Officine Gullo Kitchens" as one of the regatta's main sponsor, virtual competitor and one of our stalwarts of the Italian Sailonline fleet, SCARABOCCHIO, the scribbler, came up with the idea of ​​ sharing typical culinary aspects of the regions touched by the race - two meals a day, four courses a day - with wine pairings by fellow online Italian ita10267. SCARABOCCHIO always sails a good race as well, just missing the podium in this one, so under the buttonized Italian ensign above you will find his race report, thinly disguised as a menu card, complete with links to all the recipes and wines.

Back to the racing, which, after the leader WRmirekd, as we approached Capri, missing the turning mark under the south coast of the island and stopping for a swim, became a mighty tussle between Smo, bonknhoot and FreyjaUSA. Trading tacks all the way back upwind to Livorno, it was FreyjaUSA who ultimately took the gun, by just 9 seconds from bonknhoot, and Smo only a further 10 seconds behind. Quite the race and quite a gourmet feast!

Africa by Sea - Abidjan to Swakopmund


Our exploration of Africa by Sea continues. Next, it’s off to Swakopmund, on the water’s edge of the Kalahari desert. It’s a wind-blasted coast, and a venue of choice for those seeking to set wind-powered speed records. More likely than not, we’ll have to beat into it in our Steinlager II, to finally find some shelter behind the walls of Platz am Meer where there is a marina of sorts. Only 2200nm!
