2016-01-07 20:29:06 - 2016 SMPF SCHEME
Hi ALL ;)
I am here introducing you to one of the new topics of 2016 : The SMPF scheme.

SMPF stands for “ SYC Membership Pay Forward” , and will enable once a month a NON SYC member to become SYC member for a full year , courtesy of one active Club member or the Club itself.

It has happened once in 2015 : one SOLer , who is also SYC member ,and wanted to remain incognito had the idea to donate one SYC annual membership to the top finisher NON SYC member in the VanIsle race . The prize has been won by super famous SOLer “smo” , who not only was the first NON SYC member on the finish line , but also won that race.
The SOL Management Team has taken the successful idea on board for 2016.

The first SMPF race will be UP Helly AA , starting on January 26th , and the SYC membership will be sponsored by the Sailonline Marketing Department. The race and Sponsors program for the remaining 11 months of this year will be released as soon as possible.

The prize and prerequisites : one Race per month either chosen by the membership sponsor or in default by the SRC will be selected where the first yacht to finish, whose registered skipper has not been an SYC member for SIX months prior to the start of that race, will win an annual sponsored subscription to SYC from the date he completes that race.

In 2016 the scheme is only on trial basis , and therefore sponsorship is not open to all of you at this time, but , should any one active SYC member want to participate , even if he/she has not received the personal invitation letter that I have sent to very few , will be very welcome to the list of SMPF sponsors . For queries and declaration of interest please write to :

coord@sailonline.org

Depending on the amount of interest that will be generated within the SYC members community , the frequency of this race sponsorship might be reviewed.

Please stay tuned on this thread for more news on the scheme.

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.
