    Well, I couldn't drop it...
    Here's an example of how it works:

    http://www.stenum.se/sailonline

    - Latest 15 races (5 discounted)
    - I have not included the "Sailplanner-race" and the "Experimental-Venerrace".
    - All sailors are included now, should be only SYC-members ofcourse.
    - It says "DNS" (did not start), but can also mean "DNF" (did not finish).
    - I made a quick rip from sailonline.org result pages so there may be errors (a webservice would be neat!)
    - And, no, I didn't put in any effort to make it look good... =)

    Ranking systems in sailing has been up to discussion many times. It almost always falls back on the standard lowscoring system described in ISAF racing rules. Why not use it? Well tested and described (end of discussion?) and as I see it it will apply very well to SYC ranking system.
    For example: Use latest 15 races to conform a serie. Winner gets 1 point, 2nd place 2 points aso. You don't count 1 of 5 races.

    What I like with this system compared to current one:
    - Sailing IRL is not about winning 5 races of 30. It's about not making big mistakes.
    - A 5th place is worth the same for every race. It's not my fault the others didn't show up.
    - You have to participate, but if you miss a race you can still win.
    - Same system as IRL

    1. Participation is essential. But if you wan't to be in the top you can't even go on a vacation - it's a full time job.
    2. To reach the top for a newcomer, he can win every race, but he will be in the lead only after 6 months.

    Suggestions:
    1. Make a system that's allow you to skip 20% of the races. For example, maximum participation bonus is "no of races" x 80%.
    2. At the current rate of races, use only 3 months of races. (15 races!!)

Lake Ontario 300 Challenge 2026

Lake Ontario Offshore Racing (LOOR) welcomes Sailonline sailors to a second virtual version of a race in their annual series, and for the sixth year in succession the LO300. As the name implies, the LO300 is a 300nm offshore race across the length and breadth of Lake Ontario, from and back to Port Credit YC. This year, for the first time, we will be racing the 300nm circuit in Sun Fast 3200s. As usual, there is an overall prize for the SOLer who best bosses Lake Ontario over the two races hosted by Sailonline, this LO300 and the Susan Hood raced back in May, and this year also the race and the Susan Hood count towards the title of Super Buddy 2026; so, let the competition be fierce!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Sao Tomé to Tristan

The fifth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back south down the Atlantic from Sao Tomé on the Equator to Tristan da Cunha on the edge of the Roaring Forties. It’s 2500nm; in your path the Benguela winds and current along the south west African coast, and behind that the St Helena High stretching halfway to South America. So, mind where you go in your Volvo OD65 version 3 (based on sampled real-life race data by kroppyer)!

New Ice Age 2026 - Neumayer Station to Scott Base


For a second-half of long-distance ice-boating, we take our DNs to Antarctica for a circumnavigation of that continent in two legs clockwise, in harmony with the prevailing winds (such as there are), beginning with a race from Germany’s Neumayer Station to New Zealand’s Scott Base. It’s about 3500nm, which, if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!
