	While on the Cape Town to Auckland race, this came to mind It’s common whenever I race My life goes to heck trés post haste All the wife does is roar “Go back to your chores” So I just hide my screen and play chaste

	I liked the 'chased'.....I understand...….. If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	On seeing Bonknhoot's threat to my third place in the Newport Timed Race 2020 Brother Bonk is a jolly, old geezer Who's determined to sail like a Ceasar I'm beginning to think My result may well sink Who needs podiums with friends such as these, huh? --- Last Edited by Mouthansar at 2020-06-11 16:42:29 ---

	Some recent rhymes... On Bimmer's win. Oh, Bimski, Bimling, Bimmer, By Thor, you'll be our winner. Not east, you said, look'd best No, Odin, said you, said West And you'll be home for dinner. On FastFlo's return (and cheese and beer). Kediss Fastflo, wederziend aangenaam Dutch cheese is barely worth a damn Compared to the monastic Belgian brew That knocks you out, before the loo Is got to. On Dingo's driving. Wǒ bù zhīdào zěnme xǐ, John Hurry up, or El'll be gone At a tighter Tee Wee Hay As the Chinese just might say. Gone direction rising sun. Clipping along

	The "greek blue wall song" to seduce Triton and the wx gods to bring you better winds. Tried it in Naples Triangle and ended up being parked at 0.3 kts for 5 hours. So, singer beware! --- If we had a trireme, we would be doing 2 knots. If we had a trireme, the other boats would go nuts. (percussion) If we had a trireme, we wouldn't be stuck. If we had a trireme, we wouldn't look like a duck. (percussion) If we had a trireme, we could be sipping Greek wine. If we had a trireme, those winds would be fine. (percussion) If we had a trireme, we wouldn't count miles. If we had a trireme, we would be all smiles. Lalala lalala... La lala la.

	A warning to our Old Poets Society critics. (in the form of a 'Tipperary') SOL's poets for posterity Write rhymes with great sincerity, And though their muse may seem obtuse With purpose simply to amuse, Mockers will be dealt with… with great severity! --- Last Edited by Jan van der Puil at 2022-01-27 10:43:03 --- Clipping along

Newport Bermuda Race 2022

The 635-mile biennial Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet Race and the Sydney to Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. Founded in 1906, this the 52nd running of the Bermuda Race can also be participated in online.
Entries are invited for one of the four divisions:
Double-Handed Division:
Jeanneau Sun Fast 3300
St. David's Lighthouse Division:
First 44.7 Asymmetric
Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Division:
Reichel Pugh 64
Finisterre Division:
Delphia 47
Details for each yacht are available in the ‘Particulars’ links below and be sure to register your online choice on the Bermuda Race Online link – there are some fine prizes to be won.
As in real life, you can only sail one boat in one division, so choose your virtual yacht carefully, and because of the unusual (for SOL) 4-division nature of the event, please note results will not count towards ANY Sailonline Rankings.

Geraldton to Cape Town 2022
A race in the Southern Indian Ocean is always entertaining, especially in a Riptide 50. Traditionally the course would be West to East, to take advantage of the prevailing winds, but this time the SRC is challenging us to an E-W course, from Geraldton in Western Australia to Cape Town in South Africa. A brief 4800nm!
