The one-a-month idea sounds about right to me too... and I like the idea that the finish in Adelaide should sort-of coincide with Aaron's anniversary. My personal preference is no official series but... let's see how others respond. I've put a link to my earlier post into FB to spread the word.

I think it should be an official series and only drop one race.

Great work with the race, looking forward to it.

My two cents on this Topic:

Make it a Series with no drops. Remebering AGages Efforts on SOL, the winner of this series should need to pay maximum efforts too.

Don't let the gaps between the Stages become too long, to keep the Series together. A Weekend-Race every Month doesn't look much like a connected Series...
I don't know how fixed the dates have to be according to other scheduled races, but maybe the gaps might match the time the winner spent on the last Leg.

As it is an Aussie series the Starts shall be during Aussie-daytime which is early morning or middle of the night in Europe and USA, so starts should be scheduled on Weekends as it might be easier to stay awake if there's no Alarm ringing next morning. ;)

Agree with Taz. No Drops. I have never agreed with idea of drops in sail racing--it is just "pretend"---that "I" didn't do THAT badly!!!
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

This may be a really stupid question but what are drops?

I think Rod means "dropping a race from the series" ... so the result isn't the sum of all the results but just the sum of X out of Y (total) races.

:-)

I think i agree.. either no series OR a full series. Aaron would deffo be all for a full series!!

Ahoi Pat !

Drops are if in a series ,for example, just your best 6 results of ten races are counted. The 4 worse results "drop" out of the ranking, i.e. are not counted...

Cheers, Roland

My two cents :

In this very special case I think every race should be counted, no drops.. If every race is as well counted for SYC ranking, sailors can concentrate to do a few good races or go for the series...

Cheers,

Roland..

Quiberon Islands 2026


The Quiberon peninsula extends as a submerged granite ridge a further 15nm or so beyond the La Teignouse lighthouse on the rocks off its southern tip, surfacing as two small islands, Houat and Hoedic, the duck and duckling in Breton, 5nm and 10nm beyond the light. Treacherous, tidal waters, but on SOL that daunts us not. Of course, we've raced here before, mostly Timed Runs out of Quiberon around Belle Ile, just south of the islets, and back, but this time it's a sprint from Belle Ile's capital of Port Marie round the foul fowl and back. A triangular course of 22nm, appropriately enough for Moody S38.

Roma per Tutti 2026


Sailonline are honoured and delighted to have been asked to partner an online first Roma per Tutti yacht race with organizing yacht club, Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . In real life, this will be the 33rd edition of this 540nm offshore race from Rome’s Riva di Traiano to the Aeolian Islands and back. Online, the race will not only be our first partnership with CN Riva di Traiano, but also the second race of our Magical Mediterranean series. A number of Mini 6.50s have been entered for the 33rd edition of the Roma per Tutti; so our own vintage Mini is also our virtual yacht of choice for this one.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!
