    Re: OCEAN CHAMPIONSHIP RACES
    Board » General Discussion
    Hi, here my 5 cents.
    I agree that duration should not be less than 3 weeks so to avoid getting full routing from the very beginning until finish line. This might come from the mix between boat, lenght and average winds. I like races where we have to take bold decisions on which route to take and where we have multiple routes possible. I believe landmasses well placed are very helpful on forcing decisions on which direction to take. The last Christmas2Christmas was e nice case where we had to take a decision right at the start, mine was wrong and wrong and wrong but I liked the race. Also the Melbourne to Osaka with the Solomon in the middle forced us to take decisions on which canal to take (here I made a good mistake that sent me on the right way).
    Would be also interesting to have 2 or more boats possible for the same race. This might also result in races with boats spread around with, hopefully, strong fights for winning the race until the end.
    Most important: THANK YOU to all the people designing the races and taking care of all the other aspects. We can improve but there is a solid work done in the background! Sometimes races might not be perfect but the work done is huge and I am always happy to race in SOL.
    BV,

    Re: In Memoriam - Rob Neilson (Tyger)
    Board » In memoriam
    I met Tyger so many times in SOL that it feels really painful to write these lines. There are some SOLers who stands up from the fleet and Tyger was one of them. During races, ocean in particular, I always kept an eye on Tyger to see and learn about best routes. He had a fantastic touch and was always in the top positions.
    I remember in a race I was lost in the middle of nowhere with the fleet far ahead. I spotted Tyger passing near by and I just had to follow his steps to get back in the fleet.
    I heard something about health problems affecting Rob during the last Hobart2Sydney but it seemed everything was under control. Then during the Cape Horn to Olon Tyger went adrift and the terrible news came up.
    Now I am blessed by having the honour to bring Tyger to the finish line together with SCARABOCCHIO, WRmirekd and Dingo.
    Hey Rob, I hear you! You're laughting from up there seeing my poor performance in steering your boat. I'm sure you would do much better!

    I only knew Tyger, never been so lucky to meet Rob in person.

    Fair winds Rob/Tyger! I miss you

    Hi,

    I still have no access... did try all the tricks mentioned.

    'UN VA UNA S**A NULLA! :-)

    Did try IE8 and firefox with same result...

    Am I the only one? if so enjoy the new version otherwise "maybe" it's not so fair to have part of the boats with such an amazing set of tools....

    Admin excluded ;-)

    p.s. did try to download Safari, it seems they have problems so I cannot download!!! Maybe better I try again tomorrow at 17:17 ??? :-(

Africa by Sea - Swakopmund to Maputo 2025


Time again to continue our exploration of Africa by Sea, which now takes us around the tip of the continent at Cape Agulhas and up the coast of South Africa to Mozambique’s marvellous Maputo, where we should find good anchorage in the bend of the Rio Espirito Santo (Umbuluzi) once we’ve cleared the 60m high Maputo - Katembe suspension bridge. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be glad to be sailing our comfortable and sturdy Xp-55, as we will certainly experience more headwinds!

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2025

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited 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 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
