At the end of Practice Racing some SOLers decided to go hang near to Jubilant - probably in the hope of some of CG's excellent food!!

Start Report from RORC:

"The RORC Myth of Malham Race got off to a fine start." Reports John Burnie on The RYS Line. IRC 4 were first away and as the tide was turning on The Green many yachts chose the classic RYS line start of the island shore. However, several yachts chose the pin end and could just fly a shy kite. It was difficult to tell which end of the line paid but RORC CEO Eddie Warden Owen, further up the course believed that going for the main land shore was working better. Andy Budgen's Volvo 70, Monster Project got away well but the best start of the day was Piet Vroon's Tonnerre de Breskens. Nailing the leward end of the line with pace and hight. After a grey start, the 120 yacht fleet are now in bright sunshine and heading towards Hurst Narrows, where a favourable tide will turn in about half an hour."

Jubilant's SPOT Tracker webpage - this is the signal we are bringing on to our SOL race page.
With Jubilant appearing to be at anchor on AIS although not head to wind in SOL, the only source of info is RORC. The morning update says:

0800 BST 26.05.13 Myth of Malham Update: About 21 hours into the race and RORC Racing Manager, Nick Elliott reports that the majority of the fleet are between Start Point and the Eddystone Lighthouse. The leading boats are now round Eddystone and racing back. Monster Project was the first boat round at approx. 01:00 this morning and Monster Project is currently half way across Lyme Bay doing 11 knots.

Light airs have slowed the progress of the fleet but the wind is expected to increase during the day. The first finishers are expected by early afternoon.


Thus in the absence of news, we must presume all is well on board Jubilant!
All morning SOLers have been speculating about Jubilant's track - her SPOT tracker is offline so all we had to go on was AIS



BER Baggus (who sailed on Jubilant in the Cervantes Trophy) has thrown some light on the situation with:

"Jubilant will not be enjoying these conditions! ... She needs a breeze to get her moving - any sort of tide against her will be a major headache... They are quite close to the most beautiful town in the world though :-)"

ORCV Melbourne to Hobart 2024


Welcome to the legendary "Westcoaster," a race that has tested sailors for over 50 years.

Organized by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria, the Westcoaster is renowned for its challenging conditions and adventurous spirit. This year, our SOLers will tackle the course in the swift and capable First 47.7, a yacht launched by Beneteau in 2000, built for speed and endurance in long ocean races. Get ready for an exhilarating ride in one of Australia’s most celebrated yacht races!

Refeno Rally 2024


Although since 1986 this 300nm course from Recife, Brazil, to Fernando Noronha Island has been run many times IRL, we have only used this route twice in SOL. This time it will be the route of the last race in the ARCH 2024 classification.
Although the winner of the general classification can already be determined, the fight for the next places on the podium should be fierce. There are several contenders and Dofour34 have them at their disposal. Since we are starting in Vida_Maldita's home waters, he will give us a 30-minute handicap. Or maybe we should give it to him? 😊

The Beagle in the Azores 2024


And west the Beagle went one final time to round the Cape of Good Hope on May 31 1836. Ashore, Darwin met up with the Astronomer Royal, Herschel, who just happened to be in South Africa at the same time mapping the southern skies. After sounding out his many ideas on evolution and extinction with Herschel, the Beagle now sailed north, stopping briefly in St Helena, Ascension and Brazil, and the Cape Verdes again, to reach the Azores on September 19, 1836. Fitzroy and Darwin at this stage were in a hurry to get back to Britain, but online in 2024 we will stay a little longer to explore this final remote archipelago in our virtual Tall Ship Class B Beagle, 630nm round and about the islands, minding as always in these waters not to bump into any large cetaceans!

OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2024 challenge of a reversed race, starting in the Indian Ocean, racing to the Christmas Island in the Pacific!
