	Great, Jepsom. ... And I did see the wx for Sweden. Our snow is only just blowing in right now. Here's another one. Cook Strait Jacket There's a low blowing in from the West And it's putting the fleet to a test All chatting has ceased Who's losing the least is the sailor who read it the best

	New Masterpieces from 76Trombones I, from my perch near the windward shroud Watch my sails auto-reef think aloud: "Here no matter how big the squall It's no effort at all! IRL my drive'd be already plowed" A old salt dips hardtack in his chowder Dreams of SOL as a place very much louder A broadside or two Would help with FlowsToo Lunch'd smell good with a hint of black powder! --- Last Edited by Mouthansar at 2011-02-12 10:35:29 ---

	On Feeling Solo in SOL - Wherein a Famous sailor is Named Trombones made a poem 10:30 Not even the least bit of dirty Since then chat has died All tongues are as tied Is poetry simply too nerdy?

Haida Gwaii 2024

We will end the second quarter of the ARCH competition with a 390nm race around the Haida Gwaii islands (literally "Islands of the Haida people"), also known as the Queen Charlotte Islands. This is an archipelago located on the northern Pacific coast of Canada. In SOL, we last raced on this route in 2012 and few people remember what happened there. Prepare your Riptide 50 well, it's going to be a lot of fun.

Newport Bermuda Race 2024

The 636-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 53rd running of the Bermuda Race can again also be participated in online.
Entries are invited for one of the four divisions:
Double-Handed Division:
Jeanneau Sun Fast 3600
St. David's Lighthouse Division:
Santa Cruz 52
Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Division:
Judel Vrolijk 62
Finisterre Division:
Riptide 50
Details for each yacht are available in the ‘Particulars’ links below. 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.
