Message from SOLer Chaos:

Chaos said:
We are trying to stream our track using the app raceQs on an iphone.

There are a number of issues that may scupper the plan:
Sailing out of Mobile coverage
Battery Life not lasting long
Available Data on my plan running out

So if we disappear off the tracker don’t panic.

You should be able to follow us here: (on the Vineyard Course)

http://raceqs.com/regattas/vineyard-race


There are 94 boats in all with 3 Minis and 6 other boat racing in our division
'PHRF 7'. The other 6 are 40 footers so it is unlikely we will stay with them.

Boats to watch are
USA806 (me)
Frogger (Josh Owen)
Valkyrje (Shea Thorvaldson … his is a Prototype with a kanting keel and extra
sail area so should be much faster)

About the middle of the next WX, most of us will pass between Long Island and Plum Island -- through an area called Plum Gut.
If you are thinking about setting DCs, you might want to check this post on solfans.org about navigating Plum Gut. :)

Thessaloniki to Port Said 2026

Welcome back to the Eastern Mediterranean for the fifth race of our Magical Mediterranean Series.

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2026

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited again to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.
Our online version of the race will be a TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto try again after finishing a run. You will have two weeks to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
Race #2037

Sailonline’s virtual yacht for all your runs will be our much-loved Farr 38 PARTICULARS
