    The sailonline community are a fine helpfull friendly group of people from around the globe, in many cases its gone way past online friendship and turned into personal friendship and ship mates in real life races and pleasure sailing. This brings me to the reason for this post.

    What would you never have had the chance to do without sailonline.

    For me theres a long list of things, one that springs to my mind is, I would never have woke from a deep sleep with Gilles foot under my nose :-), Strange but true.....

    Anyone like to share there (would never have done's) with us ???

    Thanks hmm for clearing that for me, only I finished Lake Winnebago race 4 am Sunday morning and the race closed Monday but SYC still does not show these results, I hate to complain but it keeps happening, I know its not that important but its the first time I have had a shot at getting high up the ranks. Sorry for being a pain.
  • SYC rank update.
    Board » Sailonline Yacht Club
    Hi, Im sure one or two of the committee are getting bored of my same question. But I still do not understand the update of the SYC ranking.A couple of people say it updates 24hours after race first finisher someone else said after race close. Please will you clarify how and when it updates. Thanks.
  • Cowes - St Malo
    Board » Flag Officers » Races
    I was wondering why the Cowes - St Malo race result is not on the SYC ranking. Im sure it was during the race. And I thought it was a syc ranking race
    Thanks .

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said 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?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
