THE 2017 SOL CHAMPIONSHIP NORs
________________________________________

Whilst the OCEAN and TIMED Championships carry same format as in 2016, let us introduce you to the new formats :

SPRINT CHAMPIONSHIP
It will be run in three Regional rounds of six races each over four months each to reflect the Winter(ish) seasons where our Community lives. During the first 4 months only start times good for the Americas , will be followed by another 4 months of Regional Australasia ( six races at their times) and lastly Europe and Africa. The race courses will not necessarily be in the Regions, but as we know at SOL we enjoy teleportation ( free and fast ).Each Regional will have prizes , and the 2017 SPRINT Championship will be the summa of the three Regionals. ALL Solers will of course race all 18 Sprint races for the annual SPRCH rankings and prizes.

40 footer Q1&Q2 CHAMPIONSHIP

This will be great fun! Like in the old days of the annual IMSYC ( for those who remember ) , during EACH of six races ( three in each quarter in Q1 and Q2 ) skippers will be able to choose one of three 40ft polars , and will compete against others with different choice. During the Championship skippers MUST race with same polar no more than TWICE . The NOR carries all the details , and, due to the peculiarity of this Championship , we are also hereunder providing translation in some languages other than English for that part of the NOR that is essential to fully understand the mechanicals. We also provide hereunder a link to the three polars , for you to inspect and study ahead of each race , so to be able to make the right choice each time.
If successful this formula may be replicated in Q3 and Q4… Have FUN !!

SUPERSOLER 2017

This year will be the summa of 38 Championship races ( 8 OCCH + 12 TRCH + 18 SPRCH ) and will allow 5 discards.

Happy Championships SOLing in 2017 !

The 40ft Championship that just concluded after six races during the first half of 2017 has been a success from a number of aspects , raising the level of pre-planning needed to compete effectively in each leg .

As consequence of such success a new 40ft Championship has been planned for the second half of the year.

The new NOR that can be found hereunder tells about a couple of changes :

1) As requested by great majority of SOLers SRC has provided an indication of the three venues where legs 4 , 5 and 6 will be run in the 4th quarter.

2) At the end of each race there has been always till now a number of boats who did not observe the “polar utilization rule “ ( max twice in the six races series ) , resulting in a sizeable number of disqualifications. SRC has decided that during the new Championship only the TOP 50 FINISHERS in each race will be checked for compliance with the boat selection rule . Those who want to compete for top spots will therefore need to comply at all times . Non-compliance will be triggering disqualification as before .

Happy SOLing in Q3 and Q4 !! ;)

San Diego Islands Race 2026


Sailonline is proud to once again partner with the San Diego Yacht Club for the annual Islands Race! This iconic offshore challenge spans approximately 140 nautical miles, starting in Long Beach, rounding the Catalina Islands, and finishing in San Diego. Shifting coastal winds and tactical island roundings will test every sailor’s judgment and nerve.

This year, our SOLers will race the Ker 40, a proven high-performance design by Jason Ker and built by McConaghy Boats. Fast, responsive, and demanding, the Ker 40 rewards precision and smart strategy. The competition will be tight. Every decision will count. See you on the start line!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Samoa to Hawaii


The second race of our new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, takes us northward again up the Pacific Ocean, now from Samoa at 13.5 degrees South, across the Equator to Hawaii, famed for its breaking surf and active volcanoes, on the edge of the Tropic of Cancer at 19.5 degrees North. It’s 2300nm, so we’ll take our very steady Steinlager II. Race #1982

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!

West Papua to Oregon 2026

Our next race in our Ocean Championships is the first of a series of great natural migrations we will track in 2026. The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed marine reptile on planet Earth, and chooses to breed in warm tropical waters, but prefers to forage in more temperate habitats, travelling thousands and thousands of miles effortlessly annually to maintain this way of life. Our race will follow one of the typical trips of this turtle, from breeding grounds in the seas off West Papua to the coast of Oregon. It’s only 5900nm, so to keep up, but in comfort, we’ll follow in our Gunboat 90.
