    It seems that the Volvo iPod App for their version of sail racing is a simple, effective extension to the user.
    Don't get me wrong, Sailonline is by far my preferred platform for sail racing on computer. Sadly, my life does not allow to devote more time to racing. But, a simple to use app would make it possible to keep more up to date.
    I am sure I am not the only one who feels the same. I do realise the expense involved, but that must be able to be off set somehow...

    I was just thinking if anyone had thought of creating an App specifically for Sailonline. It can be done, just a matter of finding the right person. I lead a vey mobile life, a better format for mobile would be a big hit.

    Thanks Antonio.
    Who knows where Earl will strike, hopefully he does a right turn, goes out to sea and leaves us all alone.

    Starts Saturday local time. Just as hurricane Earl rears his ugly head in New England.
    I am in Maine at the moment waiting for him to arrive, riding it out on anchor.
    Probably going to lose satellite internet for this race, and will probably have a bit on. Shame, it will be a fast, fun race. Enjoy everybody.

    RC, I like the proposed format. There seems like a good mix of long and short races.
    Personally, when the timing is right, shorter races suit me. But, that timing can change from day to day let alone week to week and I like the mix of short & long races running together.
    I appreciate the changes made so quickly, response times like this for the group will make SOL (if not already) the premier online racing platform.
    Sadly, in my line of work my available time is limited. If there is something I can offer to help the team please let me know. I am not tied to a desk or computer, however I can access one at various times during the day/night. Unless I lose satellite connection (which accounts for most of my beachings during racing).
    Keep up the good work.
    Bear.

    All good & valid points.

    Sometimes my work prevents me from starting or being able to be highly competitive. But I still enjoy the platform. I agree with Victory that perhaps some of the races are being held open too long.

    Kalle- I understand the overhead issue. Perhaps you can introduce some "members only racing". And I think you have gone from 1 extreme to the next with the amount of races. I agree there were too many races now there are too little. Like you say a balancing act. A weekend race, mid week race and the occasional long distance race could be a nice balance.

    I hope that these points are helpful. As I said I enjoy the platform and look forward to more good racing in the future.

    Bear.

    Why are there now extended breaks between races? It used to be that there were overlapping races. There is now long periods between races. Practice does not cut it.
    Finished Chic Mackinac, even missed the start by 4 hours. Done the practice for Refeno. & I have to wait for another 3 days before something new happens (the start for Refeno)....
    Keep the pace up guys.

    Thank you for changing the boat for the race to the 40.7.
    It is much appreciated keeping the game in the same spirit of the race.
    I now only hope that I have good satellite connection for the duration of the race, so I can hopefully put in a decent result for a change... The joy of living and working on yachts!

Lake Vättern PYOC 2026


Back in 2013, longstanding SOLer Musigny and his friend xthyra invited us for a three race tour of beautiful Lake Vättern in the heart of southern Sweden. After many years, we return there for a quick sprint from a start in front of the village of Brandstorp, either way around Visingso island in the middle of the lake, but PORT HAND ROUND a buoy off the Granna piers on the eastern shore and back, once again avoiding Visingso as best you can. At least 20nm in trusty Scandinavian 11m One Designs; good luck!
