	Hi Sailors I'm looking to start a Special Interest Group (SIG) with the aim of re-creating Brainaids work on categorising our members. My long term intention is to be able to use my data to create the sailing divisions we have spoken about for some time. I have so far included in my database the races going back to last years Global Challenge Leg 1(34 races). My results are attached as pdf files. Medal Winners Top Podium Placers Master Navigators To create the category "Master Navigators" a sailor would have to have placed on the podium during these 34 races. This needs a little bit of work in that I believe that once a member reaches Master Navigator status he/she will remain a Master ad nauseum. In order to refine the extra divisions I need to have a set of criteria that I can apply. For now I have created four divisions; Master Navigator Skipper Helmsman Deckhand OK. So for now I'm looking for members of the SIG that can assist in developing the database and other criteria further. I would like to eventually place this information in a separate SYC Members blog/website. I think it would be a nice value added experience for our club. - I need someone with database experience because so far I'm playing with Excel. I have no experience with MSaccess. - I need someone with graphic design abilities so that we can create icons for the sailing categories. My daughter is a designer but I want to throw this open to the SYC community - I need someone that can create and manage a separate website that SOL can link to for our members to check out their progress. And here I'm really stupid! - Most of all I need the SOL community to put forward their ideas so that this work can include the widest expectations. etc etc For now I'm restricting my work to SYC members because I see this as another reason for SYC membership. See my email address below. Fond Regards George Snoek - Jawz gh.snoek@gmail.com Attachments MasterNavigators.pdf (95.1 KB)

	Thanks to Tyger for pointing out I have a problem with boat name changes Ahh! Because my excel spreadsheet searches against boat names if there has been any name change your results will be inaccurate. The root cause of this is that Im copying the results off the race archives as I dont have access to the SOL data. Please be a little patient as this is a work in progress. Id rather share the progress as I move along and keep the community interested than wait till its perfect. George Send me a mail and I will correct any errors.

	Hi Sailors I have almost finished my race records and can now post a file with the medal finishers over the lifetime of SOL. See attached. PLEASE: Forgive me if I have made any errors. I do suspect that if members have competed under a different boat name by adding a prefix or suffix like _NZL eg.then my spreadsheet wont pick it up. I will get this right too in time! As you will see our good friend brainaid is still top of the heap with 24 Gold medals out of 66 race starts. Our most succesful sailor thus far is Winston with 17 Gold in 31 starts. 54%!!! What an incredible conversion rate! Legends Both!!! At the moment I am still working on; - The nations of syc members - I am adding a column to indicate the number of nautical miles sailed too - I have my daughter making up samples of grade badges for my tentative gradings, Deckhand, Helmsman, Skipper and Master Navigator - I am also constructing a blog website for myself that will make all of this available on line.

	Hi Great job indeed, and a very difficult one. There is a fail: if you take the results from the race archive now, you obtain who is actually a SYC member, not when the race took place. I miss some awesome sailors, Exmeromotu saying one. I think there are no records about past SYC members in the database, which makes impossible this work as originally pretended. Why not a hall of fame, regardless if they are (or were) SYC members or not? I think they all are part of SOL's history. Forgive my terrible english Regards DeBilbaoPues

	Hi DeBilbaoPues You are right about Exmeromotu, another one is theviking71! 8 and 7 wins respectively. I originally started this as a "motivational tool" to get members to join and remain as syc members so I have written my sort formula around current syc members. I have the exact placings of all the races whether the finishers are members or not, so the data is available. Thanks for pointing this out! An extension to my work now is to re-format my excel charts to include non-members, but only as a means of logging the podium placers. I like the idea of a "Hall of Fame" and this might still happen in time, but with the Hall of Fame I would suggest that our community make proposals for these members. Guys like Aaron Gage immediately come to mind as an example of sailors that we could nominate?

	Hi SOLers I have burnt some midnight oil and have now created a complete listing of all the winners and podium placers of all the races ever run in SOL. Attached is a pdf of each race winner and the list of races he/she has won. Attached is also a complete list of podium finishers.

Jakob's Birthday BBQ Race 2024

Sailonline had two founders and Jakob, the more senior of the two, has his birthday in April which we always like to celebrate with a race through the Stockholm Archipelago from Revengegrundet Lighthouse to his mooring at Baggensfjärden. Traditionally also, like other celebrations this time of year, this feast has been “moveable”, so on this occasion we will be racing on a Wednesday in one of our latest high-performance 40-footers, the Carkeek 40. Please join us then for this always tricky 30nm race. Grattis på födelsedagen Jakob!

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER. This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024

Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.
