	To make rankings more interesting, it might be a good idea to have more than one SYC ranking list. The idea is to have different division split by experience and time spent on SOL, so that less experienced or competitive driving SOLers are still able to compete for a place in the rankings. A new SOLer would start in the "Entry" devision and work his way up the rankings inside this devision. The top boat of the devision eventually enter the next higher devision. The poll is meant to figure some scheme for this that might be considered fair. If there are other ideas next to the options in the poll, please state them, so we have your input to think about... _/)_/)_/) 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.
Poll: Should there be multiple SYC divisions and how should they be done? Yes, 2 devisions with the top <n> boats moving up every <some number of races> Yes, 2 devisions with the top <n> boats moving up every <some time interval> Yes, 5 or so devisions with the top <n> boats moving up every <some number of races> Yes, 5 or so devisions with the top <n> boats moving up every <some time interval> No, don't change the ranking as is No, I have a better idea (please post here) Show Results (You won't be able to vote.)

	Good idea. Maybe we could have one division for SOLers who use routing/weather software and one division for those without? Cheers.

	viking: Not sure it would work (as my lieutenant in the airforce used to say: Trust is good, control is better).

	Yes good idea, voted for 1st choice... Rookies and Pro sailors Rookies change division after 50 or 60 races

	LOL. I see your point there Kalle... Just a thought. Would have been interesting though. Cheers --- Last Edited by theviking71 at 2010-08-02 09:41:04 --- --- Last Edited by theviking71 at 2010-08-02 09:42:47 ---

	If Eddie is able to do this, Great. My experience on SOL was like this; Joined last year this time; First 15 races Average finish 120 Next 15 races Average finish 106 Next 15 races Average finish 59 I then started trying to better my worst score in order to improve my overall rating, presently around 23. I moved through the ranks so to speak! My only reward so far....Experience

	I am all for it. In fact, I've been working on an outline but work got in the way. I'll try and post it here tomorrow or the day after so we can discuss it. Thanks for the heads up. Philip

	Totally AGAINST it, i personally don't need the glory of the podium, and IF i leave some good sailors behind me, occasionally ( because they sleep lol)i am happy... But, IF it would be possible to have a ranking NON- SOFTWARE users versus Software/Routing users , THAT would make sense to me!!! Calamity

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.
