2011-07-06 16:41:33 - Tall Ships Races - excluded from SYC ranking
By popular demand, due to the impact on SYC ranking of the choice of boat without official handicapping, the SYC ranking of all the Tall Ships Races has been withdrawn.

You are all, therefore, at liberty to pick and choose among the tall ships - why not race a different one each race.

Unofficial handicapping results will be forthcoming (or you can calculate them yourself) using the data provided by 76T!!

:-)

If the choice of boats had been restricted to four and you had to choose a different boat for each event, wouldn't the scoring for SYC ranking have been viable?

ybwcobblerslast - yeps... no question about it.

The "buddy-up" with Sail Training International came about fairly last minute and went from a germ of an idea to the races in just a few weeks. Normally a SOL buddy-up has a good lead-in and we have time to think round the issue - this time the focus was on getting all the boats ready and your lateral-thinking approach just didn't occur I think!

Next year, things will be done better!!

RC... this was an OUTSTANDING effort and one that will, no doubt, increase SOL visibility and hopefully increase participation.

I like Cobblers suggestion as well. Then just take the TOTAL elapsed time for all legs as the rank at the end. That way, perhaps there would be some different names to enjoy line-honors accolades and the rankings would still reflect the pro-performances.

Again, WD!!!!

SHamPir - that is how the Series ranking would work ... so deffo an idea for next year (if SOL doesn't have official handicapping in place).

Thanks :-)

Next Race: 00d 00h 00m

Current Races:

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!

Andaman Islands PYOC 2025


The Andaman Islands are an archipelago, made up of 200 islands, in the northeastern Indian Ocean. Together with the Nicobar Islands to their south, the Andamans serve as a maritime boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west and the Andaman Sea to the east. These waters will be the theater of our next 240nm race in the ARCH 2025 series. Which one you choose depends only on you, i.e. your Elan 410 sport will leave the Andaman Islands on the starboard or port side.

Isla San Lorenzo RTI 2025


SOL’s SRC (Sailonline Race Committee) has taken us to some unusual places in the past, and San Lorenzo Island off Lima’s Callao peninsula is definitely another one. Housing a naval base and a penal institution, no vessel is allowed within 300m of its shores. Also, with no sources of potable water, it is a matter of debate whether it is an island at all, and not just a large rock. So, whatever you do, don’t be tempted to BBQ; you’ll be arrested and go thirsty! We return for the first time since 2018 to race thirteen potentially unlucky miles in J-30s; have fun!!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
