    I am seeing an increasing of activity in the Forum with SPAM post in every section , let me call them "facebook style": e.G.
    - I found a nice weather site for my town....
    - I was there once and was nice....
    -Air traffic management is a complex system....
    Any chance to block them?
    Cheers,
    Gilles
    (please SOL TEAM, keep doing your excellent work!)

    An increadible entushiastic person.
    With too much energy to be kept inside.
    He was sparkling all around at every moment.
    May he bring good wind to all friends and family still sailing thinking at him.

    The sad news have spread amongst the members of the SOL Italian Team. They have expressed the desire that I add their grief to mine here.

    So …..On behalf of all those who fly the Italian flag high on the mast of the SOL pinky boats …. A BIG HUG to Joao …..

    You have always expressed friendship and respect for us …….it is now our time to pay total respect to you ….Thank you Joao !! …..

    The “Padrão dos Descobrimentos” will steer with you on every sea and ocean !

    Italians pay respect to Portuguese navigators (33 + 1)

    Ciao

    Board » Sailonline Yacht Club
    was not a surprise that the most answer I got were "no boat?, no party!"
    Accidentally the 2 options that I have to grab a boat has sinked in the last weeks....
    So I have to postpone this on a next future.
    Could be that I will go there anyhow as there is holiday in Germany.

    However the plan B is the following:
    I will attend to the presentation of SOL during the buddyup with the Silverrudder, same location, end of September.
    The local SOL crew is already up and running for that.
    So stay tuned, there WILL BE a SOL party in DK this year! ;)
    Good wind

Current Races:

Auckland to Noumea 2025


The ARCH competition is transitioning now from the Arabian Sea to the Pacific Ocean, featuring a 1000 nm route from Auckland to Nouméa. Organized by the Royal Akarana Yacht Club, the race last occurred in 2018 and was set to resume on May 25, 2024, after a lengthy hiatus. However, due to political unrest in New Caledonia, the event has been cancelled. Fortunately, those situations do not impact our virtual race, so prepare your Open 60 for another exciting adventure.

Tyger Memorial Race 2025

Dear Robert Neilson, gone too soon, but, a volunteer crew having brought his Tyger home in our first Ocean Race of 2025, here is a further opportunity to remember him and his great contribution to Sailonline, by blasting around an 80nm triangle on his home waters of Port St Philip Bay in spanking-new-to-SOL very-Robert very-macho, grind-greedy Cookson 50s. Tell tales of his derring-do in Chat or add something for posterity to his Tyger IN MEMORIAM Forum page. Sail on, SOLer.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Dondra to Toamasina


Above you see a stratospheric balloon, that if only we had gribs at that altitude would get blasted along quite rapidly and predictably. Alas we just have our SOL balloon that sails rather lower to the sea and that we have crossed the Atlantic in, west to east, last year for the first time in the southern hemisphere. So much fun was had by all, that this year we will attempt the Indian Ocean, but in four legs. Another great piece of fiction, the voyages of Sinbad By Balloon not magic carpet, although you may need a bit of magic to make any progress at times. Pack your wicker basket full for your first leg of at least 2300nm from Sri Lanka to Madagascar; it’s not a picnic hamper, you could be in the air for longer than you hoped!
