	"Any reason the Week Championship is left out?" Because nobody suggested an appropriate badge yet and I used up the TdF ones. "1 suggestion - perhaps re-order them?" Nah they're all equal (and alphabetical) "Edit: I think you can surely include Service yourself 76T..." I figure some are by nomination --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2011-12-10 00:39:39 ---

	White Jersey for Week Champ #1?? Just seems like putting all the rank related together, same with like Arctic/Antarctic Circle, made sense - I saw they were alphabetical. Not so much about equality as there seem a few categories, rank related, nav related etc... What did you use to write it - I recently did an app (creates the podium pics), and writing the image to file was a 1-liner... (I think) I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	Gentlemen... may I also suggest a link on the home page (either as a separate tab at the top or as a Section link below the Mobile Client section) titled Honour Badges? In this section would be the badge pic, description and the instruction as found in the Forum to apply to your profile. Again, very well done! SP

	Perhaps we need a specific method of attaching honours so that whenone's cursor is placed over the honour, the title of the award shows up. That way one could compare 76T's awards against AGage's without having to have to refer to a source table located elsewhere . . . . I'm sure is was in the "Manual Tab" . . . no wait it must be on the "RACES" tab . . . no perhaps the "Rankings" tab . . . Ah most likely under getting started" . . . no definately under "Links" then. See what I mean. If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

	A couple of years ago, we practice raced in a hurricane off the southern USA coast and there was an "OVER 60 KNOTS" club with just a few mwmbers. Fo methat was great fun, most enjoyable to get the right angle of approach to the storm centre, the right TWA and all going well. THERE SURELY MUST BE AN AWARD for that e.g. a speed "60" sign as attached Could wlways add a "+" or ">". If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

	Not sure of what the badge would be (maybe a coffee machine over an Italian flag?) - but we might need to add another 'Order'.... Those who have beaten WINSTON_4 in a race!

	2 Oceans rounding Cape of Good Hope from Atlantic Ocean into Indian Ocean or vica versa... light blue background with sub-continent of Africa upon it... I'll claim that as a first I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

	Vince - look back in the Thread, 76T posed a small app, all you need to do is point it to the pic you are using now here on the forum, and select the badges from a list, and it will output a NEW image combining them all (like 76Ts and mine)...

	I would quite like to see this fun concept reinvigorated.... I never did award myself any badges but maybe I shall start hehe

	Perhaps we need the "badges" posted on the ocean in a similar way to "ice gates" so that as we sail around, we can pass over a given badge and collect that one, which is then added to one's profile. If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

Jakob's Birthday BBQ Race 2024

Sailonline had two founders and Jakob, the more senior of the two, has his birthday in April which we always like to celebrate with a race through the Stockholm Archipelago from Revengegrundet Lighthouse to his mooring at Baggensfjärden. Traditionally also, like other celebrations this time of year, this feast has been “moveable”, so on this occasion we will be racing on a Wednesday in one of our latest high-performance 40-footers, the Carkeek 40. Please join us then for this always tricky 30nm race. Grattis på födelsedagen Jakob!

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

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 is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER. This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024

Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.

Cape Town to Auckland 2024

Welcome to the second leg of this Round The World series 2024. It's also the April edition of this year's ocean race championship. The course is the same as the one sailed in 2023, but this year we sail the iconic Swan 65, as suggested in the concluding RTW race last year.
Prepare yourselves for an epic 30-day journey, navigating through the unpredictable waters of the South Seas. It's essential to take care of provisioning to ensure a smooth and enjoyable race experience. With the longer duration, we anticipate plenty of opportunities for camaraderie, competition, and unforgettable memories.
