2009-03-29 23:40:08 - BOAT TYPES & DETAILS
Can there be a section / page with details of the boats we are racing.

Ideally a pretty picture(s) but with good profile and layout drawings, dimensions, designer, builders, racing history summary.

Perhaps "good" features and those where developement and design have continued on from.

Links to more detailed sites would be better than editing down details & easier for all.

Perhaps one page per boat?

Nice idea. Considering the work load I can only come up with polars for the boats and if users have additional info about the boats it would be nice to link in some way, yes.

Good idea, starting with the x-332 from thy Cyclades volcano r run.
It's not any longer in production but you can see a used one here:

Perfect.

Now just put a photo with that link or ask that website if you can copy thie page. They may even email the original to you.

Ask other bi-lingual sailors to translate for you. email the original text in WORD.DOC or PDF format; make another page in the "new" language and paste the translation.

Give credit (and blame?) to the SOL translating sailor.

PS. Confusious said that "pictures speak a thousand words" and don't need translation more than 100 years or 1,000+ years ago!

Jacob perhaps all you need now is to add the SOL Polar chart and perhaps Brainaid's 3D polar diagrams.

So X-332 is all sorted.

The Volvo site should have some pretty promotional photos for their 70 footers.

Having an incorrect polar, or not exactly correct polar does NOT matter that much. Just add a comment e.g. For SOL use only.

Now "Next boat" please.

Thanks

Current Races:

Roma Giraglia Regata 2026

Our eighth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil – is another buddy-up; this one with the Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . Founded in 1984, as the new Traiano yacht Harbour neared completion, the Circola since then has developed into one of the major yachting competition centres in Italy, and next to the 450nm Roma per Tutti (which SOL buddied earlier in the year), the Roma Giraglia Regata is its other headline offshore event. First raced in 2005, the 210nm course takes competitors from Traiano to a rock on the inside of the Ile de la Giraglia off the northern tip of Corsica and back to the Italian mainland for a finish in the bay of Santo Stefano. We’re racing this one in our Class 40!

Bornholm PYOC


Welcome to the Baltic Sea, where we are about to hold another sprint race. The course runs from the north to the south of the beautiful Bornholm island. There are only two waypoints, the start and the finish so the choice of which side of the island to sail along is up to you. Our Albin 79s will cover a distance of approximately 23 nautical miles.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.

Carib Rum Run 2026


Ahoy, ye landlubbers and seasoned salts! Welcome back to Sailonline’s legendary Carib Rum Run, perfectly timed to kick off on International Talk Like a Pirate Day, 19 September!

This year, we command the magnificent Falkun—the ultimate high-tech superyacht modeled after the iconic Maltese Falcon. This 1759nm slalom takes us through the Caribbean’s rum islands to plunder barrels from local distilleries and deliver them to the rum-parched sands of Cancun.

Join SYC before the finish to disguise yer boat with a pirate name for this race only. Hoist the sails, sharpen yer cutlasses, and plot your winning course!
