Stamford Yacht Club's 76th Vineyard Race
The Stamford Yacht Club of Stamford Connecticut welcomes SOL to the 76th running of the 238 mile Vineyard Race. Because it is run during hurricane season, this race can challenge sailors with a variety of weather conditions as well as narrow passages with strong tidal currents at the Race or Plum Gut where local knowledge and a bit of luck often win the day.
The first Vineyard Race in 1932 had twenty-three entries and over the years has had as many as one hundred and thirty yachts competing, attracting the finest sailors and swiftest boats from the US east coast and beyond. The fastest time completing the course was set by Stamford Yacht Club's Reichel/Pugh 66, Blue Yankee, in 20 hours, 20 minutes and 15 seconds. Beat that if you can!!
Track the IRL boats here
Please note the new starting day and time (the SOL race is matching the IRL race which has been pushed back due to the movement of Hurricane Earl).
Impress your friends with SOL gear
Ever since we started sailonline.org you have been asking when you will be able to buy SOL merchandise. We had some ideas but we didn't want to launch something that we felt wasn't 100% right but finally we are happy to introduce you to the SOL store. Not only will you look great and impress your colleagues with the coolest coffee mugs on earth but you can wear a Tee-shirt to tell the world about SOL – all proceeds will help with the running and development of Sailonline! To go to the store and start your shopping spree just click this link. Enjoy and don't forget to give us feedback in the forum or by emailing crew@sailport.se!
Sail Around Turkey
SOL will be racing around the entire coast of Turkey at the end of this month. A group of Turkish SOLers (who sail IRL) have designed this course and we understand are planning to make it a race in reality in 2011.
The Turkish Yachting Magazine "Naviga" has published an article about the upcoming SOL race here Naviga Magazin - English translation here so the challenge is made!! May the best SOLer win!!
Chat disabled for the "SOL boat"
Dear skippers,
The ability to chat logged in as the "sol" boat has been disabled.
Update: Just a note, registering for a race never has an adverse effect on a player's ranking, so there is nothing stopping anyone from registering a boat in a race just to chat.

End of first SOL ReFeNo Rally
The partying is coming to an end on Fernando Noronho and this signals the end of the 2010 running of the first ever SOL ReFeNo Rally!
The stability of the trade winds, despite their strength, meant that for many this race felt like a follow-the-leader. But.. in the true fun nature of Brazilian yacht racing, even such a race has it stars.
Along with the podium three, this race also celebrates the second-to-last finisher.
Thus SOL is proud to report that 1st is brainaid (GER), 2nd is SWE54 (SWE), 3rd is WINSTON4 (ITA) but... 2nd-to-Last, and this year's Sea Turtle is andywind (GBR)!
