  • Re: Sailors with routers
    Board » General Discussion
    I, who was an opponent of the router before, have realized that it´s not worth anything to begin putting too much boundaries and putting everybody in the same box. You just have to accept that there will be different opportunities out there, just like that we have more or less time to spend on this. I also believe that those who sail with router runs a small risk of being wrong if they rely on the router too much. They must, after all, to think a little longer than 6 hours, just like the rest of us.

    Besides ... it is possible to beat them ...;-)

  • Round Gotland Race
    Board » Flag Officers » Races
    Hi all!

    Thanks for racing Round Gotland Race. It was a pleasure to race IRL and to add that to this virtual race. To bad there was tecnical problems whit the starting procedure and our gunshot come at 11:15utc. At the beginning of the race we gaining on you and even overtake you for a while ;) But after our "6-hour windhole" between Hoburgen and Knolls Groud it was to much distance to catch.

    Congrats to Winston for victory!!

    In the real race we lost a lot last leg and went from #6th down to #17th...so I am a bit disapointed. Last year we end up as #4 so our realistic goal this year was to get the podium. Better luck next time I guess ;)
    If I take our sailed time on course I ended up on the 34th place, between Ailara and Ned Leo, here on SOL.
    I hope you all got more sleep than I... only 3 hours totaly for me...so I am glad to have one more week of vaccation..;))

    Thx again and extra Thanks to RainbowChaser and "her commitycrew" for making this race.

    See you soon on SOL-races

    Hello all

    Clarifying :)

    Svandinavian Tour and Åland sea race is not the same race
    There will be a Scandinavian Tour Leg2 but no start-time is set up yet. If I have understood everything right, Rainbow will set up next leg asap and ofcourse it must be a suitable gap in the Racecalender.
    Have a nice day all and thx for racing Scandinavian Tour with me. :)

    BTW, try this man... Hans Mäkinen at hans@ksss.se He is the Commercial Director of this event and have responsible for partnership and things like that. I don´t know him personaly by it is worth a try I guess. The race is needed more visibility and they are doing some changes to get that vis. :)

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!
