2011-06-30 19:40:46 - Unfixed Ranking
Hi there.

Im (relatively) new in SOL.
I, of course, am excited to see where Im ranked, but I have to wait a few months to se where I´m placed.

To give courage, and satisfy new members, I suggest that SOL introduce a new term - "unfixed ranking".

That means, new members will be ranked after 3 finished races, BUT with "***" after his/hers name, showing that this SYC-member has finished between 3 and 9 races.

I dont know if this will bring any tecnical complications or is impossible to administrate - if not I ask admins to consider my proposal.

What do you think ?

A very satisfyed SOLer:

Peter,
that kind of ranking would suite definitely newcomers,but what about those old ones who for one or another reason are not able to race many races but also are eager to go up the rankings.They definitely will not be happy.

But dear friend I assure it is very interesting to follow your own progression up the ranks and it will be reasonably fast if you rank in top 50.
When your general ranking is under 50,than you will have to start thinking of better rankings say among top 30,than top 15 and more close to the top it will be harder to progress or even to hold your general ranking.

Therefor Peter be patient and follow the route all of as has done.

Dear africa

Maybe I expressed myself bad!

My proposal was only to keep rookies at SOL, hold their motivation high. I know where I will be ranked, and thats no problem with me :-) (well, maybe a little bit ;-), but then again: I dont know if the ambition of www.sailonline.org is to become bigger and bigger, and beat WoWin the future.
Personally I find it OK with around 400 boats, starting each race.
How many starters was there in the past?

Welcome Hawk!
I had the same question when starting out (and have only been at it for 9 months). With only 5 races completed, you are already Top200! Patience is a virtue... I am certain you will climb the list rapidly as the high-numbered DNS drop off your list with each race completed.

Check some of the forum threads from last year and you will see an on-going discussion regarding "Class Division" as a way of maintaining interest for the broad-based SOL community. Very interesting.

Welcome aboard and I will patiently await the day in the near future when you pass ME in the rankings!!

Tall Ships Races 2025 - Le Havre to Dunkirk

NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
