Ciao Cappy ;) and ALL solers ;)

In my role of Coordinator , I want to answer your well placed point , regarding the tech irregularity occurred on Feb 22nd .

Firstly rest assured that the matter has been tackled immediatly , as soon as first event took place . In actual facts some 16 boats in total have been affected by the event . The SOL Tech engine room and SOL OPS started discussions immediatly , and investigation plans for implementation of corrective actions are in place since about half day through on the 22nd .

I am not the right person to talk about it , but preliminary response is that being the race area spanning beyond the midnight line , when some boats , who eventually lost interest in the race, or lost contact with the boat, and sailed eastbound towards the boundry , actually hit the eastern boundry line , were teleported to the west of the race area , exactly at same latitude , with a 270 deg heading jump .

This software irregularity event would clash with the awareness that since a few years we are able to sail in the pacific , crossing the midnight line , thanks to the efforts of Brainaid , who fixed the previuos problem we had .

We now learn , thanks to 16 solers who dared to go where no man had gone before , that hitting the boundry beyond the midnight line strikes an irregular reaction by the server ;)))))))) ( Klingon server ...not liking that we sail into the neutral zone ?????? ) ....


a part from kidding , I wanted to reassure you that the issue is looked at since the first few minutes , as it happened .....and hopefully will be fixed quite soon ......well ...for the time being we just need not to fly to the neutral zone....;) ;) ;)

And , lastly , we are about to issue very special Award Certificates to those 16 who dared to go where no man had gone before , for the " most gigantic jump performance ever seen in SOL " !!! ;)

ciao ciao

Piero

Roma per Tutti 2026


Sailonline are honoured and delighted to have been asked to partner an online first Roma per Tutti yacht race with organizing yacht club, Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . In real life, this will be the 33rd edition of this 540nm offshore race from Rome’s Riva di Traiano to the Aeolian Islands and back. Online, the race will not only be our first partnership with CN Riva di Traiano, but also the second race of our Magical Mediterranean series. A number of Mini 6.50s have been entered for the 33rd edition of the Roma per Tutti; so our own vintage Mini is also our virtual yacht of choice for this one.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!
