WANTED – OPERATIONS MONITORS

We are changing how we organize our race management 'behind the scenes' at Sailonline in 2024. These changes will be various and announced later.

One change will be the introduction of a new role, for which we are seeking a number of volunteers.

– OPERATIONS MONITORS –

It is not a difficult nor a time-consuming role. It simply requires volunteers to double-check that the actions (so-called DBAs) to OPERATE a PLANNED race have been timely set.

Each OPERATIONS MONITOR volunteer will be issued (by means of daily email) a list of the set DBAs pending ‘execution’ with date that they will execute.
He/she will need to be familiar with the Quarterly Calendar.
He/she will also hold a copy of the SETUP TIMETABLE which sets out the agreed lead times for launching and then closing a race by type
(OCEAN, SPRINT, TIMED, BUDDY, OTHER).
If he/she finds DBAs are delayed, he/she contacts Sailonline's PRO (bonknhoot), copying the COOrdinator ( WINSTON_4). Next day, on issue of the new pending DBAs email, he/checks that the situation has been rectified.

An OPERATIONS MONITOR will be on 'deck' for a week (ideally only one week every six or seven) to be relieved by the next volunteer according to the roster that will be organized by the COOrdinator according to the availabilities indicated by the volunteers.

Training will be held by the COOrdinator and will take 15 minutes. These new roles will be very very important for the continuing integrity of the platform, but will require only very very light and occasional work for each of the volunteers.

To volunteer, please email coord@sailonline.org.

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
