2010-06-11 18:33:31 - Posh Yacht club or what?
Hi Everyone
My name is Gina (which came about fairly recently after a drunken visit to a tattoo/sex change parlour in Singapore)but enough about that!
I like enjoying life and take the mickey out of anyone mercilessly. I can also take fun being poked at me, whether its my sailing ability or my sense of humour, which are probably equally bad.
Anyway, I hope this isn't one of those posh clubs where you daren't raise your voice without eyebrows being raised. After a few glasses (or bottles) of wine, I love a good laugh !!
Anyway, whats the lowdown on the racing here - whose the one to beat (not that I have any chance ...).
Looking forward to the race this evening (any idea how long its supposed to last?)
Cheers
Gina
Skipper - GinaT

PS Why haven't we got any "smileys" on here?

Hello Gina,

There is plenty of humor and laugh at the chat room, you may need to be there at the right time. Usually late at night. USA night.

Take a look at the SYC Ranking for an idea who is who here. Regardeless of your sailing abilities there are plenty of competion in the middle of the pack as well.

Before I forget, people here seems to like Rum and Mermaids.

Welcome to SOL.
Antonio

Hi Antonio
Thanks for the welcome. I'll try the chat box, but I don't really like them as I can never remember what I've already said :-)

Hi Gina,
welcome to SOL racing.
One of the beautiful things of this "society" is that membership in SYC is not mandatory for participation in racing. The membership is really affordable and gets you into the ranking system.
POSH - NOT? The chat rooms are full of fun, knowledgeable persons with a genuine will to answer all questions - novice or expert.

Roma per Tutti 2026


Sailonline are honoured and delighted to have been asked to partner an online first Roma per Tutti yacht race with organizing yacht club, Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . In real life, this will be the 33rd edition of this 540nm offshore race from Rome’s Riva di Traiano to the Aeolian Islands and back. Online, the race will not only be our first partnership with CN Riva di Traiano, but also the second race of our Magical Mediterranean series. A number of Mini 6.50s have been entered for the 33rd edition of the Roma per Tutti; so our own vintage Mini is also our virtual yacht of choice for this one.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!
