	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

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!
