    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?

Magical Mediterranean 2026 - Benghazi to Korcula

We return to Antiquity’s Middle Sea for a seventh celebration of all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil.

Red Eye 2026 - Georgian Bay

Welcome to the sensational scenic Georgian Bay of northern Lake Huron, the first area of the Great Lakes to be visited by Europeans in 1615, so former SOLer A2R informed us when he designed this geometrically tortuous course of 317nm criss-cross through its island maze. Originally known as Lake Manitoulin, in 1822 the bay was renamed after King George IV after his succession to the throne. This time we’ll take the very flashy Fareast 31R, which hopefully should keep you wide awake!

Tall Ships 2026 - Stavanger to Aalborg


Welcome to the fourth of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . This fourth race is from Stavanger in Norway into the Skaggerak to a finish off Denmark’s Aalborg and perhaps an Aquavit to toast the adventure afterwards – a final circa 250nm in Sailonline’s classic Clipper 240.
NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

Chinook Salmon - Canada to Andreanovs


A year after spawning in the upper reaches of the rivers of British Columbia, Chinook Salmon develop the age-old urge, so familiar to SOLers, to go to sea, heading for different parts of the northern Pacific Ocean. This race catches up with a particular school with an instinctive memory for the Andreanov Islands far west on the Aleutian Islands chain, as they depart the Salian Sea between Vancouver Island and the San Juans. It’s 2200nm and we’re taking the 60ft Trimaran, in the hope we can keep up!
