Posted by Danny Posts 13 Registered at 2010-03-19 09:27:58	2010-06-11 18:33:31 - Posh Yacht club or what?
	Hi Everyone My name is Gina (which came about fairly recently after a drunken visit to a tattoo/sex change parlour in Singapore)but enough about that! I like enjoying life and take the mickey out of anyone mercilessly. I can also take fun being poked at me, whether its my sailing ability or my sense of humour, which are probably equally bad. Anyway, I hope this isn't one of those posh clubs where you daren't raise your voice without eyebrows being raised. After a few glasses (or bottles) of wine, I love a good laugh !! Anyway, whats the lowdown on the racing here - whose the one to beat (not that I have any chance ...). Looking forward to the race this evening (any idea how long its supposed to last?) Cheers Gina Skipper - GinaT PS Why haven't we got any "smileys" on here? --- Last Edited by Gina at 2010-06-11 18:33:54 --- Danny

	Hello Gina, There is plenty of humor and laugh at the chat room, you may need to be there at the right time. Usually late at night. USA night. Take a look at the SYC Ranking for an idea who is who here. Regardeless of your sailing abilities there are plenty of competion in the middle of the pack as well. Before I forget, people here seems to like Rum and Mermaids. Welcome to SOL. Antonio --- Last Edited by zero at 2010-06-12 22:08:29 ---

	Hi Antonio Thanks for the welcome. I'll try the chat box, but I don't really like them as I can never remember what I've already said GinaT --- Last Edited by Gina at 2010-06-14 15:53:11 --- Danny

	Hi Gina, welcome to SOL racing. One of the beautiful things of this "society" is that membership in SYC is not mandatory for participation in racing. The membership is really affordable and gets you into the ranking system. POSH - NOT? The chat rooms are full of fun, knowledgeable persons with a genuine will to answer all questions - novice or expert.

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.

Cape Town to Auckland 2024

Welcome to the second leg of this Round The World series 2024. It's also the April edition of this year's ocean race championship. The course is the same as the one sailed in 2023, but this year we sail the iconic Swan 65, as suggested in the concluding RTW race last year.
Prepare yourselves for an epic 30-day journey, navigating through the unpredictable waters of the South Seas. It's essential to take care of provisioning to ensure a smooth and enjoyable race experience. With the longer duration, we anticipate plenty of opportunities for camaraderie, competition, and unforgettable memories.
