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SYC ranking of the choice of boat without official handicapping, the SYC ranking of all the Tall Ships Races has been withdrawn.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 :-)

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.

Carib Rum Run 2026


Ahoy, ye landlubbers and seasoned salts! Welcome back to Sailonline’s legendary Carib Rum Run, perfectly timed to kick off on International Talk Like a Pirate Day, 19 September!

This year, we command the magnificent Falkun—the ultimate high-tech superyacht modeled after the iconic Maltese Falcon. This 1759nm slalom takes us through the Caribbean’s rum islands to plunder barrels from local distilleries and deliver them to the rum-parched sands of Cancun.

Join SYC before the finish to disguise yer boat with a pirate name for this race only. Hoist the sails, sharpen yer cutlasses, and plot your winning course!
