Hello dear sailing Friends, Sorry for the downtime, as your already know our database went belly-up. Our web server is now also acting as database and has been restored from the latest backup (which was the night before the crash, thank god it worked). Since we run without hot spares we knew that sooner or later we would have to face a hardware problem, but we will look into how we could have made the change quicker and smoother. So what will happen to the races that were ongoing when the crash happened? The Zilt Race will be re-run, probably in the opposite direction, the race at the time of the crash will not be counted towards the ranking. In the Round North Island 2010 - western leg race the standings at the time of the last backup will be the final results and counted in the ranking. If you have any questions or feedback, please post in the forum or email us, we read and absorb everything.

Thank you guys for all the effort you put into this! And even having been in a good position in the Zilt race I think a rerun is a fair solution for everybody.

Thanks for your hard work in fixing the problem. Regarding Zilt race, since it was more than 2/3 done, it is not fair to ignore it completely. I propose you re-run Zilt and count as final the best of the two runs. Thanks again

Fairest to re-run both races IMHO, If Zilt is re-run, why not the same thinking apply to the NZ Race? Personally I was sailing well west of rhumb line to get a better breeze and had gained over 100 places? now my overall points will be peanalised. So let's re-run BOTH races. IRL a race "abandoned" can be resailed.

We should all thank to sol team for providing such a fun & educative platform...and free-riders instead of criticizing should make the donation to support the sol efforts making it possible for the upkeep of the site. At the last count only 385 SYC members at $35 trying to support this effort where over 1000 boats participate! If we want a better service then we should pay for it.

I agree with RAFA,as it is not fair to exclude completely that race which almost 3/4 completed.I was fighting for very first position neglecting the other race.Now I lost on both. In real races that would be a shortened race and they actual positions would count,no way that the race is completely neglected.So you are trying to be as close as possible to real races with SOL,therefor I would say you should follow the rules of real races and we would have no excuses than to complain on your decisions. I know you are trying hardly to do your best but you should also admit some of your errors and try to correct them. Best regards Capt.Damir

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Cocos to Sagar Island


Kapil Muni, incarnation of Lord Vishnu, founder of the Samkhya school of philosophy, disturbed from his meditation, in his wrath reduced the 60,000 sons of Sagar to ashes, as they dug the earth to retrieve the sacrificial horse that Lord Indra, the king of the Gods, stole off Sagar, thus creating the Sagara (ocean). Aeons later, Bhagiratha, a descendant of Sagara, asked Ganga to cleanse the ashes of the 60,000 princes, and her resultant torrential fall from heaven created the great river and where it met the ocean, the princes’ souls were washed and raised to heaven and Gangasagar (Sagar Island) was formed. So, let us join the pilgrimages to Kapi Muni’s Temple (see above) and race 2400nm from Cocos Island deep in the Sagara thence, in rather rapid Rapido 60s.

The Vineyard Race 2026


For the 16th consecutive year, our SOLers are invited to tackle this iconic 250nm overnighter. The classic route charges out through the sound, leaves Buzzards Bay Light to starboard, rounds Block Island to starboard, and heads home.

This year's weapon of choice is the Beneteau First 47.7. A proven performer since its 2012 SOL debut, this Farr-designed cruiser/racer excels at leading real and virtual handicap fleets. Success will demand sharp tactical navigation, so watch the polars closely to conquer the sound's shifting winds!
