2011-02-22 08:47:16 - SOL Flag for RL Racing
Hi all,
since i'm planning to do my first RL race as skipper, i'm wondering wether there is a SOL flag one can fly, and since SOL is my only YC, if i can enter SOL as my Yacht Club in the forms...
(Yes, i've seen, there are Tshirts, caps an bears, but since spreadshirt offers no flags, i'd have to copy the sol emblem and cut&sew my own flag)
happy sailing

I don't think there is a SOL Flag at the Moment, but that may change pretty quick if the gods consider a demand in that. ;-)

The question if you can Start as a SYC-Member is a bit more difficult...

Most Races are held by Yachtclubs and most of these YC's are members of the ISAF (International Sailing Federation). So most Races are held under the ISAF Rules.

One of these rules is that the Skipper has to be Member of an ISAF-Club, although this Rule may not be forced on all races, specially on smaller Ones.

As the ISAF has no Department for virtual Sailing the SYC is probably not a Member of the ISAF and i'm pretty sure there is no chance to change this at the Moment.

So being a SYC-Member is not sufficient to meet the ISAF-Membership-Rule in RL-racing.
I would suggest to ask if this ISAF-Rule is forced before entering a RL-race or considering to become a Member of an ISAF-Club to meet this Rule.

Nevertheless you may fly the SYC-Flag under your portside-Spreader, as there are no limitations what to fly there.
You may also enter the SYC in the Entryform as an additional Club or if the Rule isn't forced.

Yes, that's the case here too, the race will be the 'La duecento' the YC is the 'Circulo nautico PS Margherita' http://www.cnsm.org/ and the ISAF Rules for offshore Cat 3 apply.

I'll ask if the Skipper YC rule is enforced...

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Cocos to Sagar Island


Kapil Muni, incarnation of Lord Vishnu, founder of the Samkhya school of philosophy, disturbed from his meditation, in his wrath reduced the 60,000 sons of Sagar to ashes, as they dug the earth to retrieve the sacrificial horse that Lord Indra, the king of the Gods, stole off Sagar, thus creating the Sagara (ocean). Aeons later, Bhagiratha, a descendant of Sagara, asked Ganga to cleanse the ashes of the 60,000 princes, and her resultant torrential fall from heaven created the great river and where it met the ocean, the princes’ souls were washed and raised to heaven and Gangasagar (Sagar Island) was formed. So, let us join the pilgrimages to Kapi Muni’s Temple (see above) and race 2400nm from Cocos Island deep in the Sagara thence, in rather rapid Rapido 60s.

The Vineyard Race 2026


For the 16th consecutive year, our SOLers are invited to tackle this iconic 250nm overnighter. The classic route charges out through the sound, leaves Buzzards Bay Light to starboard, rounds Block Island to starboard, and heads home.

This year's weapon of choice is the Beneteau First 47.7. A proven performer since its 2012 SOL debut, this Farr-designed cruiser/racer excels at leading real and virtual handicap fleets. Success will demand sharp tactical navigation, so watch the polars closely to conquer the sound's shifting winds!
