My feeling is that any irl yacht club would promote participation, so I don't have a problem with that (although it probably works against me).

After a race, the winner gets 1000 points, last place gives 1 point. When a race is 30 days old the ranking points from that race is starting to fade out. After 12 months (to eternity) the race gives only 5% of the original points. Total ranking points is calculated as the sum of all races participated. The ranking is only processed about one time per week. Note: The ranking system is preliminary and is subject to evaluation.

Guys isn't it an idea to make the nr of points dependent on the nr of entries per race? As the more entries the harder it will theoretically be to win....

Please, I want a limit on the "participation bonus points", like 1000 points (20 races).

I like the rankings now (obviously ;-), but as we are very even on the top, one missed race would mean giving up several placings...

Also, it is a bit funny, that in a race with less participants, the points difference between subsequent placings increases. For instance, if a pair mixes 1-2 finishes in two races, that who wins the race with _less_ participants gains an advantage in points.

Dear Laiska,
It is hard, lonely and cold on the top I guess. As much as we really appreciate your tricky situation and fully sympathize with you I am afraid that we cannot help you at the moment. However, since your case is so strong and moves us at heart we will discuss your suggestion in future revisions.

Regards
Jakob

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
