I was with SOL almost from the beginning. I can only agree with the letter RC wrote. In know what an effort it cost to Kalle, Jacob and Jeroen to maintain this game on such an high level FOR FREE! It's a shame that an institution like RORC choose for money instead of good seamanship.
Good to see that a lot of the SOL-members have the same opinion. Keep up the good spirit of this game.

Thank you all for your supportive comments. I was somewhat apprehensive of sending it but I was jolly cross!! Guess you can work that out for yourselves!!

Anyway, thus far no acknowledgement and no reply. The email was submitted on the email form on the RORC website but the subject line read "FAO Commodore McIrvine - re RORC's action against SOL 9 August 2009".

Obviously if anyone else has a more personal email addy for the Commodore of RORC then I will be happy to use that too!

I just did what I could with the basic resources available to me this morning as I didn't want to delay.

Very well written RC, I am sure you reflect the sentiments of all of us sailing on SOL. I was dissappointed to wake up to find the race cancelled, and angered to learn the reason! I hope this reached it's intended mark and has some affect. Go the little guys!

Well done & said RC.

Perhaps sending it to ROLEx and all their different sales offices world wide would give an interesting result and perhaps some "power" and a pressure point from Rolex onto the RORC.

If we all sent emails, . . . . to all the offices etc. . . . .

Cheers!!

Well said. I agree with your sentiments. The RORC is sadly out of line on this one.

Time again to continue our exploration of Africa by Sea, which now takes us around the tip of the continent at Cape Agulhas and up the coast of South Africa to Mozambique’s marvellous Maputo, where we should find good anchorage in the bend of the Rio Espirito Santo (Umbuluzi) once we’ve cleared the 60m high Maputo - Katembe suspension bridge. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be glad to be sailing our comfortable and sturdy Xp-55, as we will certainly experience more headwinds!

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2025

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited 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 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.

This year, this pleasant weekender on western Lake Ontario will be of about 60nm in length, and online for convenience will start and finish at the Port Credit Yacht Club (PCYC). At or before the real-life Skipper’s Briefing a decision will be made to race the course clockwise (course Delta) or anti-clockwise (Echo). If there is time we will match this online. As before, the race is the first of two that will count towards a special Sailonline's LOOR Series medals, and we sail in Beneteau First 36.7s. Bon voyage!
