2011-11-19 01:09:13 - Great Lakes Inclusive
I do not believe that SOL has, as of yet, sailed on the waters of Lake Ontario.

A couple of viable options may be found here:

http://www.lo300.org/racers-info/courses

P.S.

Technically speaking SOL has dropped anchor there (Lake Erie Round the Islands Challenge #307) but certainly a full scale course has yet to be devised.

Lake St. Clair is the red-headed stepchild of the Great Lakes & The Detroit River is not visible under current SOL map rendering technology.

Just saying . . .

Port Huron to Niagara Falls would be Da Bomb

Hey 76!!

Don't jest. Some time ago I made a half hearted proposal that this sort of thing be applied in SOL. I feel that it would appeal to the younger sailors getting into SOL. It might make more new sailors have an extra incentive to sail with us here.

Others you might include for yourself are;

Club Champion - Ranking 1
Master mariner - Top 10 results sailor

Cheers Jawz! Anyone else? :)

Club Champion: Held SYC #1.
Master Mariner: Held SYC Top Ten.
Race Win: Individual race winner.
Outstanding Service: Service above and beyond.

#307 - how about that... missed that one nice catch! A few race ideas here - some more practical than others.

76, I LOVE this!!

Don't know where you find them.

1) Honour of Triton; 25 consecutive starts and finishes (no DNS/DNF)
Honour of Poseidon; 50 consecutive starts and finishes (no DNS/DNF)

2) How/where would these be displayed? Suggest on the SYC Ranking page under the SOLers name.

3) How far back do we go for calculating badges? 12months/24months/The Big Bang??

4) I volunteer to help with research if there is a data repository to review.

Cool idea!

This leg will be raced aboard the powerful Rapido 60, pushing sailors to their limits as they navigate the open ocean. Do you have what it takes to conquer the Pacific?

Red Eye - Round White Island 2025

We remain in New Zealand for our second “Red Eye Special” and another IRL Kiwi classic - the Round White Island! IRL still “currently on hiatus” following the island’s eruption of 2019, this race was last raced on SOL in 2020. It’s about 300nm there - out the Hauraki Gulf and south down to the island in the Bay of Plenty - and back to Auckland. This year we’ll be racing in our ever-popular take on the TP-52. Hau tika!

Moheli PYOC 2025


For our first sprint of Q2, we will re-visit the African archipelago nation, L’Union des Comoros, and its most southern island, Moheli, in the Mozambique Channel. Created by MustangMark in 2014 this is a “Pick Your Own Course” round the island, approximately 20nm in our First 27. Expect winds to be light and variable; we are in the Tropics.

Africa by Sea - Tangier to Abidjan


Whatever about pharaoh Necho II’s Phoenician expedition of the 7th C BCE, the Carthaginian Hanno the Navigator with more certainty sailed south from Tangier to explore the West African coast two centuries later, but how far he got is a matter of more conjecture. However, if he did the 2300nm to today’s Ivory Coast he would have found little there other than good shelter in the vast lagoons behind the dunes, much the same as today, excepting the highly industrialized port of Abidjan. Not a great haven for a stop-over but let’s take the 90ft Monohull anyway.

Sea Lion TIMED Race 2025

Come on down South for long days of sunlight and strong bracing winds to race our Finngulf 43 as many times as you like - 117nm as the albatross flies - through some of the islands of the Falklands archipelago. This is a TIMED race, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.

Melbourne Osaka Cup Double-Handed Yacht Race 2025

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 this year is such a year. So, this year’s online version is in sync with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organised by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. We’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat which should be a good match for many of the boats entered in the real race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across our course, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
