    so if we did a few races where the polar numbers were kept secret, would that mean that you wouldnt be able to use software for those races?

    I dont usually get involved in the software debate. I think brain & co have done quite a good job of dveloping the skills and software and I'm usually happy to be within sight of them every now and then. Its just that I've been away from sol for a month or so and this debate is still going. I dont think that brain not sailing is a very good solution.

    How does it work? Am I right that all routing sorfware relies on the polars in XL that Brain so kindly shares with the rest of us?

    How does brain get the polar numbers?

    I dont want Brain to feel like he shouldnt make the most of his hard work and I dont think that software/non-software divisions can be policed. But I am too computerdumb to build my own software and too cheap to buy anyone elses.

    If I am right that software needs the XL document, would having a few races in different boats where we get the polar picture on the steering tab but the XL data is unavailable solve the problem?

    If I am wrong, please refer to the computerdumb statement above.

    I completely agree with the focus on strategy. This is why I wouldnt want any of these races to count towards ranking, I wouldnt even record results beyond when the race is re-set.
    However, there is not much strategy with the free sailing so a series of short races during this time wouldnt detract from the overall game but would provide an extra bit of fun while waiting for the next real race.
    The advantages of these races would be that people would be able to challenge friends at a time convenient to them. Most people are unable to complete the long races all the time due to other commitments or real sailing and this way people would be given the chance to concentrate on an entire race.
    Running timed races is one way of filling the time between races but I prefer fleet racing and would enjoy doing the odd short challenge.

    I was wondering what anyone thought of some short races between or even alongside 'real' races.

    I was thinking that a short 2 or 3 lap 2 hour windward/leeward race that re-set every 5 hours or so (so that all timezones are catered for) would be fun.

    No points would be awarded for rankings and the boats could be changed every few days to keep it interesting.

    It would be more fun than just sailing around between races and with races only lasting a couple of hours most people would be able to find the time to give it a go.

    Is it something that could be done?

    Would anyone be interested?

    Would it be possible for the weather times for each race to be confirmed on the registration page or on the race page or something?

Thessaloniki to Port Said 2026

Welcome back to the Eastern Mediterranean for the fifth race of our Magical Mediterranean Series. Only marginally less unlikely to be ever raced in real life during SOL’s lifetime than our previous race from Tobruk to Iskenderun, this 710nm race takes us from Greece’s ancient northern port of Thessaloniki through the Aegean island maze, south east into the Levantine Sea to a finish in modern Port Said, in splendid Swan 65s!

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2026

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited again to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.
Our online version of the race will be a TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto try again after finishing a run. You will have two weeks to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
