Posted by RainbowChaser Posts 2656 Registered at 2009-06-14 09:44:50	2014-08-11 13:49:37 - Carib Rum Run 2014
	LISTEN UP YE RUM SOAKED SCURVY MAGGOTS!!! In September Sailonline will once more be racing to bring rum from the Carib to Mexico and all SYC Members are invited to adopt a pirate name for this race only. This is an annual affair, run in close proximity to International Talk Like a Pirate Day (Sept 19). It is now tradition that paid-up SYC Members may change their normal SOL boatnames *just within this one race* to one influenced by all things piratical! You are free to choose any name you like but remember, Sailonline is a family-friendly site so we reserve right to disallow names we think are inappropriate. All requests for such changes will only be actioned if posted in this thread and will be made on a first-come, first-served basis. *PLEASE DO CHECK THE 2014 LIST* below before submitting a request to ensure that you aren't requesting a name already taken by someone else before you! Please note that the change of boatname for this one race will not affect either your usual login credentials (username and password) or your SYC rankings. Once the race opens in September, I will change the boatnames as efficiently as possible! NOTE: you may join SYC and request a change of name for the race at any time up to and during the Carib Rum Run, but your SYC member must valid/current for the duration of the race! ______________________ THE NAME CHANGE OPTION IS NOW CLOSED AS THE FIRST FINISHERS HAVE ARRIVED. 24sep14 ______________________ 2014 List of Pirate Name Changes Arrrgh ------------------- hew565 Bartolomeu Português ------- nacrr Corsaro Rosso ------------- Gilles Captain Haddock ----------- Jawz Captain Jack Sparrow ------ intermezzo Captain Rat --------------- Musigny Captain Thunderbolt ------- Tyger Ching Shih ---------------- LaoziSailor El Pirata Cofresi --------- Dana1 El Ron Contrabandista ----- captjack1942 Fancypants zero ----------- zero GetaPatch ----------------- Go4iT GraceOMalley -------------- bonknhoot Gunpowder Gertie ---------- MustangMark Guybrush Threepwood ------ SimeMali Horatio Hornblower ------- robert1 Jack Black -------------- m2c1Iw javaKidda --------------- javakeda Jesse Finne -------------- karriv kroppyarr ----------------- kroppyer La buse -------------------- FR_cirrus Lady Louise --------------- Tamalone LowTideVulture ------------ rodm67 Magister Wigbold ----------- HappyHour Moody Menace -------------- moodydrew Mrs Cheng ------------------ Franci Ned Kelly ------------------ Dingo Pocket Pirate -------------- PocketRocket QueenAnneRevenge ---------- Matoto redlegs ------------------- NZL_Scotsman Red Rackham --------------- Mystique RumBarrelJack ------------- JakeS RUM Chaser --------------- RainbowChaser Rusty Sabre --------------- newsartist SadlerSmuggling ----------- sadlersailing SCARABOOM ----------------- SCARABOCCHIO Scurvy Flyer -------------- Pwfflyer The Chuck ----------------- AL53_SSIta The Scurvy Parrot ---------- CG Tim Bobbin ----------------- simondo Walter E Kurtz ------------ Dikkehenk ______________________ PLEASE NOTE I WILL CHANGE THE NAMES IN THE SERVER AS SOON AS I CAN - A * BY A NAME MEANS I HAVE MADE THE CHANGE (THE SERVER MIGHT BE TAKING A WHILE TO PROCESS IT).

	Captain Haddock "Grips the hammock netting and pulls himself carefully up the side of the good ship Jawz. He doffs his cap in acknowledgement of the bosuns pipes and places his wooden left leg forward one pace to balance himself against the roll of the deck.... ....Only to wedge it in a knothole. 'Avast with the Doctors handsaw maties!' he shouts. And there he shall remain for the rest of this voyage!!" that be how I sail on SOL, me laddo (it seems) --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2014-08-13 08:47:18 ---

Round Greenland 2024

Just as Skip Novak was embarking for Kamchatsky, Amyr Klink also quietly slipped his Antarctica moorings and by now Paratii 2 has reached Reykjavik, where he invites you to join him on Leg 5 of our High Latitudes Series, a full 3650nm circumnavigation of Greenland. The course is clockwise round, so down the North Atlantic to Cape Farewell, then up the Davis Strait into Baffin Bay and on into the Arctic Ocean proper, where, hopefully and certainly virtually, Paratii 2’s special ice-breaker features will get us thorough the summer ice out onto the Greenland Sea and back to Reykjavik. Stay warm!

Pico Island TIMED Race 2024

900nm due West of Lisbon you’ll find Portugal’s Azores Islands where SOLers have been known to come and go, both IRL and on-line. Marking the junction of two major tectonic fault lines – the North Atlantic Ridge and the zone where the African and Eurasian plates meet – it is a seismically hyper-active place, but warm and verdantly beautiful with one rain-laden depression after another rolling over its ash-fed hillsides. If it wasn’t for the pods of whales mooching about offshore, at sea might be the safer place to be, but let’s go racing anyway – 53nm round Pico, this year in Mini 6.50’s. This is a TIMED race, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.

The Beagle in the Galapagos 2024

It took the Beagle a further fifteen months of adventure and exploration to, on September 15, 1835, reach the Galapagos Islands, whose populations of giant tortoises and iguanas and finches and mockingbirds of great variety from island to island were such a significant inspiration to Darwin formulating his Theory of Evolution. It won’t be a retrace of his peregrinations, but here in 2024 an interesting 500nm course will take you by most of the archipelago’s islands, in your very own Beagle, a Class B Tall Ship!

SOL's Balloon Transat 2024

Sailonline offers a huge variety of boats to sail in. One of the more unusual ones has got to be SOL's Balloon, which was polarized by past SOLmaster 76Trombones. Notably, the SOL Balloon will actually ‘sail’ in other directions other than straight downwind, although it will not 'sail' over land or beyond a 'beam reach'. This year we have a new course to challenge all you aeronaut’s and we will be taking the Balloon across the Southern Atlantic from Cape Horn to 'land' it in the Cape of Good Hope. Tips: Wait for favourable winds before launching and set DC aware predictor to maximal length.

San Francisco to Ushuaia 2024

After a superlong RTW-leg3 (27 days), we have had a month to recover, and maintain our boat, in order to continue our around the world race. Leg 4, even longer than the previous, takes us from California to the world's southernmost city Ushuaia. No waypoints, even "the Ditch" is an option, but maybe a bit too much of a treat. With 6300 nm to go, the estimated duration of this race 29 days. This course is also the August edition of our ocean race championship.
