	For Team ITA_2011 - Relentlessly Chased and So Wanting Stealth Mode for their Boat The anguish of being a winner: You cannot take time out for dinner If you're well ahead You can't go to bed You're just bound to get thinner and thinner The attraction of going to stealth Is to help preserve some of your health Attacked through the night From all sides a fight They all want to take part in your wealth

	A Poet's Apologetic Eulogy There's just one thing that needs to be said As this poetic needle I thread When I'm dust and bone They'll write on my stone He was silent - except when ahead. I really wasn't a head. It just felt good there for a wail

	Another great one: 76Trombones 19:45: - The wind in the South is speed "howl" Yet we still discuss y as a vowel Funny symbols on keys Little hats on our 'E's Might it be time to throw in the towel? <<DO NOT USE FOR NAVIGATION>>

	Some context might be required for those... I logged on today following the most chat activity in days, talking about different keyboard layouts of all things. Then Rod and mjm got into Inuit syllabics, font sets and language = #2 Am always impressed by the quality of English as 2-3-8th language rhyming on SOL. That got me thinking about my Turkish skills (nothing doing). The Caribbean Creoles are great, and I'll claim that my grammar is just a feature of the dialect... The Rhyme with SOL was too good to pass up: Odinatè bato, anpil plezi Pa twòp volan, se konsa pou lwazi A new challenge on SOL Rhyme in Haitian Creole Panse ke petèt mwen tou dousman "crazy"

	By Rod: Rod 00:18: This applies more to NZ than here... The winds they blow so slowly I wish they did so more-ly The boat she wallow It's hard to swallow My tummy it feels so sore-ly

	On Procrastination Rod and 76Trombones Rod 02:09: A man who has time for limerinks Isn't working as hard as his boss thinks When he has time for SOL He isn't working at all He's just up for jokes and hi-jinks. 76Trombones 02:22: On the list of things to avoid: Having a boss of skills quite devoid. His employee is lazy They're increasingly crazy It's not easy being self-employed.

	... Some sailors cruise the Caribbean While others enjoy the Aegean Rock snow and ice, It's this man's paradise South Georgia's the place I'd be See'n ... Were we sailing these waters for real You'd discover my Achille's heel Forget about wins I'd go visit penguins And the South Georgian elephant seal ... Sambing found the Island of Beauchene A desolate albatross heaven Looked like plenty of room It's the fault of the zoom SOL needs vigilance 24-7

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.
