2013-06-02 15:03:19 - PB race.
Hi I missed the first mark on this race. I went back and rounded but it does not show I rounded and nor any of the other marks rounded and Im getting an increased mileage to the finish. Is there an issue as I def rounded the marks but the system does not seem to acknowledge it!!! Im not sure if I should go back or just carry on!!! Please help. Many thanks

Tim, I'm afraid you didn't retrace your track correctly. If you pass the wrong side of a mark you have go back that side like unwinding a string wrapped around a post and then pass on the correct side. That is why you are still shown as not having passed correctly and continue to go down the rankings. We have all been there.

Thanks Tyger your a star...I assume I must go the the wrong way round the mark in reverse to get back on track!! Yups what a big learning curb. Im sure the site has some advice on this somewhere but its a new one on me....think I may just have a long bbq on this race until it closes. Thanks so much for your help. Sol is such a great site for friendly and helpful support much appreciated. BR Tim (PR)

Pocket Rocket - a browse of the SOL Manual (p21) may be of help. Just click on the Manual link at the top of this page and then on the SOL's Client Manual link.

:-)

There's a lot to learn in SOL and it takes ages to find all the functionality and, once found, to remember to use it!

Newport Bermuda Race 2026


The 636-mile Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet and the Sydney Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. First raced in 1906, now in its 54th biennial, the Race can again also be participated in online. In real life, the race is open to entry in four different division – Double-Handed, St. David's Lighthouse, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, and Finisterre Division – which in the past we have also offered online. This year, however, our online race will be all-in one-design in silky swift Club Swan 50 yachts, so that your results can count towards SOL’s SUPerBUDdy title, whilst hopefully still giving you a chance of overall line honours against the fastest yachts of the real-life Gibbs Hill Division, especially if you can find some forecast winds that don’t quite work out that way on the real water!

Thessaloniki to Port Said 2026

Welcome back to the Eastern Mediterranean for the fifth race of our Magical Mediterranean Series. Only marginally less unlikely to be ever raced in real life during SOL’s lifetime than our previous race from Tobruk to Iskenderun, this 710nm race takes us from Greece’s ancient northern port of Thessaloniki through the Aegean island maze, south east into the Levantine Sea to a finish in modern Port Said, in splendid Swan 65s!

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2026

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited again to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini 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 TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto try again after finishing a run. You will have two weeks to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
