2019-04-13 20:08:27 - Joao - psail
Dear SOL Managers and SYC Members,
what happened these days has saddened us all.
Since I'm in SOL, the SOLers that are sailing eternal seas are many and I think it's time to organize a special championship in their memory.
I imagine two annual races to be played on the first day of spring (March 20 northern hemisphere and September 22 southern hemisphere).
Why the first day of spring?
Simply because spring is the icon of rebirth and I'm sure that our friends have been reborn in a better world.
"Springs Memory Championship"?
In my mind it doesn't have to be a sad event but a sailing party to sail happily with old friends.
Thanks for your attention.
How would Joao wrote, "Viva SOL" and "Viva Solers"

"Big Hug Championship"
I think it's the right name for the memory championship.

May I suggest that these be big races, the Northern race from Greece to the Baltic, while the Southern race to be to circum-navigate Australia and New Zealand. This way, all of our 'departed' Solers will be included.
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Roma per Tutti 2026


Sailonline are honoured and delighted to have been asked to partner an online first Roma per Tutti yacht race with organizing yacht club, Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . In real life, this will be the 33rd edition of this 540nm offshore race from Rome’s Riva di Traiano to the Aeolian Islands and back. Online, the race will not only be our first partnership with CN Riva di Traiano, but also the second race of our Magical Mediterranean series. A number of Mini 6.50s have been entered for the 33rd edition of the Roma per Tutti; so our own vintage Mini is also our virtual yacht of choice for this one.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!
