Latest Sailonline VO70 design spotted
At last, here is the preview of the illusive VO70 boat Sailonline. The picture is taken from a distance by TangoSailingPunktNu and shows the first of a series of about 1000 boats to be built, tested and launched before the first inport race in Alicante on october 4.
Update: Tango not Wiz snapped the beautiful picture. Our apologies to Tango.
Mexican gulf speed run rank
Sailonline has sparked the storm chaser in some of us. The challenge to clock the highest boatspeed has taken off. Although the speeds reached go far beyond the limits of the VO70 it is a good challenge.
The current ranking stands like this, for each name only the highest run is taken. (1) SWE54, with a bs of 68,7 knots (2) Tangosailing, with a bs of 68,6 knots (3) Wiz, with a bs of 68,6 knots (4) Nightmare, with a bs of 67,1 knots (5) PaulR, with a bs of 65,7 knots (6) Acmeracing, with a bs of 65,5 knots (7) Jeroen, with a bs of 64,4 knots (8) Capella, with a bs of 64,1 knots (9) shearwater, with a bs of 64,0 knots (10) K3 with a bs of 62,3 knots (11) Musigny with a bs of 60,5 knots
Boteco1 visits Sailonline HQ
Sometimes the gray every day life at SOL is interrupted by a visit from a famous guest. A couple of weeks ago SOL got an intelligence saying that "Tarkus" from the extremely successful crew of Brazilian IRL boat Boteco1 was in town (Stockholm that is). SOL naturally sent its most capable staffer Jakob (all other better options were on the Azores or in Holland...) to welcome the prominent guest. With the picture as evidence SOL now declares that the SOL-Boteco1 summit went well and we at SOL are now very proud owners of Boteco1 caps. Thanks Tarkus and the Brazilian maffia!
