Hi folks

Its nearly time for the first of this year's trio of B&G/SSANZ Simrad races.

In 2010 SOL sailed a Young 88, in 2011 we sailed a Young 11(mod). We now need to choose ourselves a competitive boat from SOL's BOATHOUSE

Here is the Simrad Seriescurrent entry list- we need to pick something that will be reasonably competitive!!

Longhaul. Which reminds me I need to setup the courses now we have hi-res mapping for NZ (in previous years I have had to reuse an old NZ map but not any longer!). Thanks!!

Not sure which SOLers are sailing IRL this time but WairuaExpress, PaulR and yachtyakka often participate (shorthaul/longhaul).

Yes indeed sailing on Panacea a Stewart 34 in the Short Haul division. All boats are 2 handed.

On crew.org.nz I also run results for the
"OLD FARTS" competition. I add the ages of the two crew members + four times the age of the yacht and from the average ages, make an adjusting OLD FARTS factor that is then applied to the TCF result and then adjusted for the 3 different race lengths over all who enter on crew.org.nz.

See Page 10 for 2011 Results

The aim is to see if young brash people who hoist spinnakers and do massive wipeouts, broaches etc are better than the older sailors who are more considerate of their advancing years and practice seamanship.

There is also a "His & Hers" division and last year one "Hers & Hers" yacht. Another prize was for the greatest fantastic, frightening, fabulous or just
f*%#ing muckup!!

At stake for 1st places in individual races and overall results were TWO bottles of Mt Gay Silver Rum with TWO bottles of Mt Gay Eclipse Rum for 2nds & 3rds, and a certificate per boat.

Can't have skippers drinking alone can we?????

All rum was gratefully recieved!!!!!!!
I even one one bottle myself!!

This year I plan to have:
a certificate for each crew member

as well as more rum . . . hic

I suggest young 11 for the longhaul. The other boats mentioned do shorthaul courses.

I don't think I'll be doing the race IRL this year.

Thanks guys!

Paul love the "old farts" factor... not sure we can do that virtually plus, of course, we don't have the rum!!

Scotsman - sorry you can't race IRL this year but hopefully our interactivity with SSANZ will make the SOL version a reasonable (virtual) alternative :-)

Young 11 t'will be again!

Mistli's Birthday BBQ Race 2025


Welcome to one of Sailonline's great traditions - the ofttimes slightly untimely celebration of SOLer Mistli's birthday on November 1, by way of a tricky race through the Stockholm Archipelago. To match the day that’s in it, this year correctly, we are providing you with a fleet of sleek 11 metre 1-designs (get it?) to slice through these (at least) 61.5nm of SLI-infested waters, and give you a fair chance that there will still be some beer left by the time you moor up by the jetty at Trosa!

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!
