	Hi Folks, YuanHang here. 50 years old, English and living in England just about as far from the sea as possible! I only started sailing 3 years ago, have a 21ft junk rigged boat on the Lincolnshire coast. Far too slow to race in real life......me and the boat!

	Hola! My name is Antonio -42 yrs. old -Homeport: San Juan, Puerto Rico -Been sailing since I was 4 yrs. old. My dad taught me how to sail on a Sunfish he'd bought way before he married my mom! The bulk of my sailing lately was on a J/80 "Ex Mero Motu" which I owned for 13 years and sold it a year ago. Cheers!

	Here's Lars, aka. Mouthansar (pronounced 'mootanza' in case you ever wondered). I'm 54, from Denmark and live on the West coast of the island Copenhagen is on - very close to the Great Belt. My first boat was an Optimist at 11 later replaced with a Flipper dinghy, before I graduated to yachts. The last 6 years have been very regatta intensive - mainly on mid-size X-Yachts. On the side I take care of an H-Boat for my yacht club. I also tend to a Feeling 1040 for the owner, who has no time to use it and wants me to give it as much excersize as possible. SOL is intensely competitive, educational and extremely addictive. Keep the intros coming: It's such a joy to see the (wo)man behind the nick. --- Last Edited by Mouthansar at 2010-09-28 12:24:59 ---

	I'm from Belgium, living near Antwerp. 50 years old, married, 3 children. When I was 7 years, I was invited by a family-friend to make my first blue-water trip on his Swan40. Sailed for 10 years with that boat, mostly in the North-European waters. Later on I jumped into ocean racing and sailed twice around the world. Was involved in the Belgian Whitbread around the world race (Rucanor) and was owner of a VO60 (Tokio) until 1999. Last year I participated in the ARC with a Beneteau 50. "Sailing is an Art"

CA 500 2024

In 2019, the organisers of the California Race Week introduced a new longer distance event for the world’s very largest maxi trimarans in town that year intent on setting new records for the TransPac Ocean Race on its 50th anniversary. This CA 500, 500nm from San Francisco to San Diego, was repeated in 2023, but this year it will be an online only event, as it is a lot more straightforward to get a fleet of Maxi trimarans out on the virtual water, than in real life.

Neumayer Station to Biscoe Wharf 2024

It’s Autumn now in Antarctica, the sun is permanently below the horizon, but during the day, from c 0900 to c 1700 local time, there is some twilight – nautical twilight, not to be confused with civil twilight which is brighter. The penguins are starting to huddle together to keep warm and the sea ice is growing. Time to get back to Biscoe Wharf then, before the water becomes impassible. Including a detour past Argentina’s main two Antarctic stations, it’s only 1900nm, so, although we’ll be in a hurry, we will take the bigger, better ice-classed Paratii 2 once more, just to be sure!

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
