I like to see a legends board. This could include several categories, like a list of the race winners and series winners; most miles sailed; who has been ranked #1; most races finished. Similar idea to the badges but with more detail.

Longest % of time aground.

Fastest time excluding time aground.

There were seveal more suggestions made in the past including syenum'd analysis.

I to, have thought along these lines...
Like a 'SOL Trophy Room' or 'Hall of Fame'

Soon more things like this should be possible (fingers-crossed, no promises)

Fastest time for what?

What is "syenum'd anaylsis"?

There was long ago and far away such a list.
By a soler called Wiz. It would be nice if anyone knows how to get in touch or even catch a glimpse of his code.

Sorry my fingers got fuddled!!

One analysis I looked at was his "national" raking. I don't know the real story about 3 or 4 years ago, however it seemed that the SoL gods did not want to link to his analysis.

I know we swapped emails and I suggested some fun prizes as well, At that time all the kiwi boats were racing for a real bottle of Mt Gay and we even had the Royal Akarana Yacht Club's Around White Island Race present a bottle of rum at their official prizegiving.

Aaron: Fastest time for sailing the course so I could see that if I had NOT gone aground, I could of been in 47th place instead of my 254th position.

If only I could be more dedicated!! LOL!!

It would be an encouragement to do a bit better.

CONCENTRATE
CONCENTRATE
CONCENTRATE

are the 3 important requirements when racing IMHO.

OK - just it seemed we were talking about a 'Legends Page' - 'Hall of Fame' whatever - so I didn't think you were referring to including individual races there...

But, time ashore is not recorded...

Why don't people just try harder not to hit the hard stuff?
All it really takes is very little sleep for the duration of the race and possible divorce proceedings... Totally worth it ;-)
(Easy for me to say, I'm a Bachelor)

But seriously - many suggestions require changes to the underlying data model kept on the SOL server. That is one of the hardest things to do just at the moment. So we need to try to work within the data SOL currently does collect (for the time being)

I would still like to see a LOG of my sailing filled in for every hour + times of steering changes + when aground, when refloated.


Ideally being able to download it so that when I do wake up or get back to my PC, then if desired I could download by clicking on a "button".

Perhaps a choice of TXT, CSV
and M$ Excel for formats.

Contents. All this data is currently shown on screen:

Lat, Long, Position in fleet, DTG

plus data as shown on screen:

Speed, Course, TWA, TWD, TWS, VMG, PERF, UTC, Comments (aground, Abeam Cape Horn etc if appropriate)

Ideally UTC in first column in format:
yyyy-mmm-dd hh:mm

Africa by Sea 2025 - Port Said to Tangier


Back in the 7th C BCE, pharaoh Necho II may have commissioned Phoenician sailors to explore south down the Red Sea and if possible return north via the Straits of Gibraltar. Herodotus was inclined to dismiss the story as it included reports of the sun standing in the north, which had to be nonsense. Silly old Herodotus, but who cares, 2800 years later we will repeat the feat, but we’ll go the other way round, and not in a galley but in different modern sailing yachts, beginning with the comfort of an IY 14.98 for the first leg of 1900nm from Port Said to Tangier.

Aden to Goa 2025


Europeans are primarily acquainted with the historical narrative of how spices reached their continent from distant regions. However, the spice trade from Goa to Aden predates the modern era, as detailed in this article. Sailonline is now reversing this route, organizing an eastbound yacht race of approximately 1700 nautical miles across the Arabian Sea for our 21st-century Archer 78 yachts. Wishing you fair winds and may the enticing aroma of spices guide you safely to your destination!

Lake Namtso Ice Race


To kick off our annual Ice Yachting Series, we will travel to Tibet and to one of the World’s highest lakes, Namtso, the “Heavenly Lake”, at an altitude of 4720m. Just fly to Gonggar Airport via Kathmandu, and get a taxi to Lhasa where the Dali Lama lives, then hire a truck with guide to take you and your DN and gear a further 200km north across the Nyenchen Tanglha mountains to Xianga where a 95nm triangle will be beaconed out on the ice for your enjoyment. Although like most of the Tibetan lakes, Namtso is a saline sump with no outflows, rest assured it is bitter cold there and ice is guaranteed. Mind the monks, you’ve no PL!

Red Eye - Wellington to Nelson 2025


Welcome indeed to our first race of six “Red Eye Specials” - short overnighters through tricky high resolution winds, that will likely have you setting an alarm or two to not miss a weather update or tight rounding or three. This first one is a 105nm IRL classic out into New Zealand’s Cook Strait usually raced around the same time as our online race will start, raced only once before on SOL in 2012, and which on this occasion we will take on in our J-130!

Vendee Home - Cape Horn to Olon 2025

Welcome to our 2025 Ocean Race Championships starting off with the classic 6900nm drag race from Cape Horn back to the coast of Brittany leading or following the boats of the Vendee Globe fleet. A new polar from the board of the BNH Design Partnership is being made available to you for this one, in the hope that aboard her you too will be able to cover 600nm in a day when the conditions are right! It's winter outside, so like the IRL sailors, enjoy and stay inside!

AGage TIMED 100 Race 2025

SOL's gift to the memory of AGagewas a yearlong series of races circumnavigating Australia. This 100 nm race takes place in the St. Vincent Gulf off Adelaide to mark 12 years since the too-sudden end to the life of this remarkable SOLer. These were Aaron's home waters - he was a total competitor so... race to win! Please take the time to read the many tributes left in his memory. 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.
