As a direct result of comments made in the General Discussions Forum, the August Calendar is undergoing revision. The two attached pics represent the latest model - hopefully closer to a fun calendar for ALL SOLers!!!

As always... please don't hesitate to voice your "constructive" comments!!

RC, I like the proposed format. There seems like a good mix of long and short races.
Personally, when the timing is right, shorter races suit me. But, that timing can change from day to day let alone week to week and I like the mix of short & long races running together.
I appreciate the changes made so quickly, response times like this for the group will make SOL (if not already) the premier online racing platform.
Sadly, in my line of work my available time is limited. If there is something I can offer to help the team please let me know. I am not tied to a desk or computer, however I can access one at various times during the day/night. Unless I lose satellite connection (which accounts for most of my beachings during racing).
Keep up the good work.
Bear.
REVISION IN LINE WITH RECENT DISCUSSIONS!

ALTERNATIVE style of calendar - using a simple spreadsheet.

What do you think?

Much easier to read. I like it.
The spreadsheet is a plus. This is very good. Keep up the great work!

The sea is lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to sail before I sleep, And miles to sail before I sleep.

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!

Isle of Wight RTI Sprint 2025


Welcome to the Isle of Wight in the British Isles. A past home to Queen Victoria and the foundation of the America's Cup when yacht racing became popular in the 1800's. This particular race was last raced on SOL in 2012 to follow Soler JuJu sailing around the island. We return, long overdue, to race our final Q2 sprint around the island.

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.

Susan Hood Trophy Race 2025

Lake Ontario Offshore Racing (LOOR) welcomes racers to Sailonline’s virtual version of their annual Susan Hood Trophy Race. This year, this pleasant weekender on western Lake Ontario will be of about 60nm in length, and online for convenience will start and finish at the Port Credit Yacht Club (PCYC). At or before the real-life Skipper’s Briefing a decision will be made to race the course clockwise (course Delta) or anti-clockwise (Echo). If there is time we will match this online. As before, the race is the first of two that will count towards a special Sailonline's LOOR Series medals, and we sail in Beneteau First 36.7s. Bon voyage!
