	Dear SOL Managers and SYC Members, what happened these days has saddened us all. Since I'm in SOL, the SOLers that are sailing eternal seas are many and I think it's time to organize a special championship in their memory. I imagine two annual races to be played on the first day of spring (March 20 northern hemisphere and September 22 southern hemisphere). Why the first day of spring? Simply because spring is the icon of rebirth and I'm sure that our friends have been reborn in a better world. "Springs Memory Championship"? In my mind it doesn't have to be a sad event but a sailing party to sail happily with old friends. Thanks for your attention. How would Joao wrote, "Viva SOL" and "Viva Solers" Carlo Alberto

	"Big Hug Championship" I think it's the right name for the memory championship.

	May I suggest that these be big races, the Northern race from Greece to the Baltic, while the Southern race to be to circum-navigate Australia and New Zealand. This way, all of our 'departed' Solers will be included. If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Melbourne to Osaka 2023
Welcome to Melbourne for Sailonline's alternative version of the Melbourne to Osaka Double Handed Yacht Race - a 5000 nautical miler. This year again we're racing the RP-66, but the route is unlimited what comes to waypoints. Because the IRL version does not run this year, we took the freedom to make our own route!
It could be a long race, east or west, and of course some doldrums to negotiate!

Sinbad Seeks Spices 2023
Having surveyed Arabia, Sinbad Al-SOL’er next invites you to race him on his second of seven epic voyages to every corner of the Indian Ocean and beyond, this time to seek spices in Zanzibar, departing from Xaafun, a trading post on the tip of the Horn of Africa since the days of the Mycenaeans and on through Roman times to the Nights of 1,001 of AL-Sail’or, Al-SOL’er’s illustrious ancestor. SOLing by the sun and the stars, aka seat-of-the-pants, the voyage will take you east as far as Praslin island, south as far as Anjouan, to Zanzibar’s Unguja for all things spices, but only back as far as Mogidishu – another exhausting 3000nm adventure, this time in Reichel/Pugh 66s.
