2010-03-04 19:36:46 - Scheduling of new races
Dear all,

Over the last few weeks, we have not been able to run as many of your race proposals as we would like. There have been some real races to run, the problem with the first Zilt, some overload, etc.

Furthermore, the race committee assumes that it is more difficult for a majority of SOLers to participate in week races than in week-end races. As a consequence, the race committee is a bit reluctant to field a race that has been proposed by one of you as a week race, as we like the person who has proposed the race to enjoy participating in his own race.

The consequence is that we tend to rerun existing races as week races, and that there is a bit of a jam in scheduling your race proposals as week-end races.

Thus, something that would really help the race committee schedule your race proposals more rapidly would be for those of you who have proposed a race that could fit either as a week race or as a week-end race, and for whom running the proposed race as a week race would be fine, to come forward.

The race committee will probably be able to schedule these races relatively rapidly.

This is of course not the case for those of you who have proposed ocean races. Drag races are also not so easy to schedule, but for altogether different reasons.

Thanks,

Francois

Thessaloniki to Port Said 2026

Welcome back to the Eastern Mediterranean for the fifth race of our Magical Mediterranean Series. Only marginally less unlikely to be ever raced in real life during SOL’s lifetime than our previous race from Tobruk to Iskenderun, this 710nm race takes us from Greece’s ancient northern port of Thessaloniki through the Aegean island maze, south east into the Levantine Sea to a finish in modern Port Said, in splendid Swan 65s!

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.
