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.

Africa by Sea - Swakopmund to Maputo 2025


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.
