2014-11-11 10:05:17 - SOL Sailing School, why not?
Posting a commentary about routing on SOL, I thought about this idea.
For the moment I would like to keep it in house, hence this generic com.
The first step to love a particular thing is to understand it.
A large part of the SOLers that appear to race are in early state of sailing skills, a bite like me.
One way to improve is by means of self-learning, well, like everything in our life.
But that takes an extra time, and sometimes a longer trial and error path and, demotivation sometimes wins.
No problem at all with learning from mistakes. The good consequence is that you never forget it - the mistake.
Anyhow the faster and reliable way to do it is by gathering experience with someone with more skills, of course, if that person wants to share with the others their wisdom.

The resources are here. The thing that’s missing is the persons will.
If this idea is wrong, easy, let’s forget it. By the contrary, if it has legs to walk I’ve have further ideas to share and discuss with all interested.
SOL can have one of the best online Sailing school.
That’s for sure.
Sail Fair.

Hallo JB,
yes you right, we are missing someone able to put together the material already available .
For examplle here the are valuable hints to enjoy virtual and real life sailing.

http://www.sailonline.org/wiki/show/Links/
in the section "Useful Resources provided by SOLers"

if reading this you come up with some question please just ask here or in the chat. Sol is open 24/7 ;)

For example I have personally to said I had the honour to crew a boat where everybody know exactly what a polar was. And IRL this is not granted at all!

Vuelta de la Isla Saltes Sprint 2025


Welcome to Spain for our first sprint of Q4. This is a traditional 20 NM local race around Huelva in SW Spain. Chances are a quick circumnavigation will involve some upwind work weaving your way round the mud flats of the upper reaches of the Huelva delta in our Fox 9.50. Fair winds!

Camel or Balloon - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!

Africa by Sea 2025 - Mogadishu to Suez


Nearly there; only 2500nm to go, round the Horn and up the Red Sea to Suez into what will more than likely be more headwinds for this sixth leg of our African circumnavigation, to be followed in September by a final sneaky dash up the canal back to where we started all those months ago. We’ll be sailing a not entirely appropriate-for-upwind-work 60ft Trimaran!
