	I'm shocked. One window of my browser runs one of his tools with his name in the heading and the other window announces his death. We discussed the development of his tools and Aaron was always a good advisor. He improved SOL a lot. I still can't believe the truth now. My thoughts are with his family. Bernd (K3)

	Even though I'm on SOL vacation I go to the home-page from time to time, I even did the Tall Ships. It is terrible to see someone leave this world so early, a talented man has left us. My thoughts are with the family. 'you'll never walk alone'

	This is such sad news of AGage's passing. He will be greatly missed... Jim

	I have been stunned into silence by this tragic loss and have only just regained enough composure to honour our dear friend. Ode To AGage We sail to Larvik far in the north Our hearts too heavy to stay on course We’ve lost our friend, our mentor and sage. The fleet seems barren without AGage His presence is felt in all we do Our SOLing a tribute to him we knew His passion and talent cannot be replaced And we honour him though our joy of each race. Please watch over us all from your podium high While we watch for your countenance in each cloudless sky. The bell chimed too early for you Aaron, my friend To your family, the deepest of sympathy we send. May your winds always be lifting, your seas never rough Your course always steady, your sails never luff. You remain in our memory, a comrade and crew. We shall cross paths again, and our friendship renew. I miss you, mate. William/SP

	48 hrs I only started to admit the truth today. I'm an idiot for not telling my wife and friends as soon as I saw the search results. I'd never seen a picture of Aaron until RC posted his profile pic, but we've maintained a continuous friendship via email... funny how modern life turns out - someone I'll never meet, yet when I said "Aaron" my partner knew it was bad just from logging me out. The second posting kills me. We all know that the 105 pixels that define us online are meaningless. I absolutely hate that fucking clipart sailboat at the same time as being emphatically grateful that it is there. Thank you Katrina, Jen and Indi. Thanks Aaron. It'll be a while before I'm around. We have unfinished business, but half of us is missing. --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2012-07-16 02:36:10 --- Attachments AGage.png (27.9 KB)

Haida Gwaii 2024

We will end the second quarter of the ARCH competition with a 390nm race around the Haida Gwaii islands (literally "Islands of the Haida people"), also known as the Queen Charlotte Islands. This is an archipelago located on the northern Pacific coast of Canada. In SOL, we last raced on this route in 2012 and few people remember what happened there. Prepare your Riptide 50 well, it's going to be a lot of fun.

Newport Bermuda Race 2024

The 636-mile biennial Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet Race and the Sydney to Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. Founded in 1906, this 53rd running of the Bermuda Race can again also be participated in online.
Entries are invited for one of the four divisions:
Double-Handed Division:
Jeanneau Sun Fast 3600
St. David's Lighthouse Division:
Santa Cruz 52
Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Division:
Judel Vrolijk 62
Finisterre Division:
Riptide 50
Details for each yacht are available in the ‘Particulars’ links below. As in real life, you can only sail one boat in one division, so choose your virtual yacht carefully, and because of the unusual (for SOL) 4-division nature of the event, please note results will not count towards any Sailonline rankings.
