	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>>

	76Trombones' Vexing Eskimo Wand'ring far and wide: Niovgroyok Sailing our boats: Umiartortok Rhymes are open and shut Speaking Inuktitut What fun! (Alianaigosuktok) This limeric by 76Trombones

	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

Jakob's Birthday BBQ Race 2024

Sailonline had two founders and Jakob, the more senior of the two, has his birthday in April which we always like to celebrate with a race through the Stockholm Archipelago from Revengegrundet Lighthouse to his mooring at Baggensfjärden. Traditionally also, like other celebrations this time of year, this feast has been “moveable”, so on this occasion we will be racing on a Wednesday in one of our latest high-performance 40-footers, the Carkeek 40. Please join us then for this always tricky 30nm race. Grattis på födelsedagen Jakob!

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!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER. This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.
