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 Giraglia Regata 2026

Our eighth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil – is another buddy-up; this one with the Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . Founded in 1984, as the new Traiano yacht Harbour neared completion, the Circola since then has developed into one of the major yachting competition centres in Italy, and next to the 450nm Roma per Tutti (which SOL buddied earlier in the year), the Roma Giraglia Regata is its other headline offshore event. First raced in 2005, the 210nm course takes competitors from Traiano to a rock on the inside of the Ile de la Giraglia off the northern tip of Corsica and back to the Italian mainland for a finish in the bay of Santo Stefano. We’re racing this one in our Class 40!

Bornholm PYOC


Welcome to the Baltic Sea, where we are about to hold another sprint race. The course runs from the north to the south of the beautiful Bornholm island. There are only two waypoints, the start and the finish so the choice of which side of the island to sail along is up to you. Our Albin 79s will cover a distance of approximately 23 nautical miles.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.

Carib Rum Run 2026


Ahoy, ye landlubbers and seasoned salts! Welcome back to Sailonline’s legendary Carib Rum Run, perfectly timed to kick off on International Talk Like a Pirate Day, 19 September!

This year, we command the magnificent Falkun—the ultimate high-tech superyacht modeled after the iconic Maltese Falcon. This 1759nm slalom takes us through the Caribbean’s rum islands to plunder barrels from local distilleries and deliver them to the rum-parched sands of Cancun.

Join SYC before the finish to disguise yer boat with a pirate name for this race only. Hoist the sails, sharpen yer cutlasses, and plot your winning course!
