	Last year stoertebaeker and me decide to do our own race by building a longship for the 2015 Up to Helly Aa race, and burn it as people fro these marvellous islands do every January with a real size one, record it on video and send it to SOL to see which one was more nice, and burns better. Maybe any other SOLer want to join this new competition for the next time. Here I link some pics from my boat, ready to burn in less than 24 hours I hope you like it --- Last Edited by GREATSKUA at 2015-01-26 20:47:03 --- Attachments SKUA_2015_longship3_THUMB.jpg (24.1 KB) SKUA_2015_longship2_THUMB.jpg (21.6 KB) SKUA_2015_longship1_THUMB.jpg (23.7 KB)

	and here's the wrecked hull of a Footy belonging to Rod which will also be burned!! Rod grew up near Lindisfarne, which was the site of the first Viking raid on an English monastery... they do remember... It is a curious shape because "I (Rod) was experimenting with methods to make Footy hulls with excessively cheap methods and materials--the Footy is not supposed to cost a lot of money, but it is supposed to be highly advanced in design.....This one was designed on a CAD program, the stations made of paper with foam blocks sanded to shape then glued together into a hull shape, covered in paper and piaint, then foam dissolved." _______________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2015-01-26 21:33:10 --- --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2015-01-26 21:34:24 --- Attachments Rod_2015_longship_THUMB.jpg (22.8 KB) Rod_2015_longship.jpg (169.1 KB)

Jakob's Birthday BBQ Race 2024

Sailonline had two founders and Jakob, the more senior of the two, has his birthday in April which we always like to celebrate with a race through the Stockholm Archipelago from Revengegrundet Lighthouse to his mooring at Baggensfjärden. Traditionally also, like other celebrations this time of year, this feast has been “moveable”, so on this occasion we will be racing on a Wednesday in one of our latest high-performance 40-footers, the Carkeek 40. Please join us then for this always tricky 30nm race. Grattis på födelsedagen Jakob!

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.

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.
