    In the current race and northern triangle leg 2 I was in close combat with boat Sabbi until we got to the Castle Island mark. There Sabbi didn’t,t appear to round the mark thus increasing his lead, according to the visual. It suggests rankings etc are not to be trusted and makes one wonder is it worth the time be involved

    I have taken a look into this and can confirm that Sabbi did round the mark correctly, it's best to give the server a few minutes after big maneuvers to allow the boat tracks to update, also ensure that you have the maximum zoom enabled in your settings (Misc > Settings > Allow extra zoom (Warning: incompatible with PR rules)).

    I can confirm that a boat will not be set as "rounded" if it hasn't rounded that mark.

    Re: In Memoriam - Rob Neilson (Tyger)
    Board » In memoriam
    Robert was an incredible person and a pillar of the Sailonline community. When I joined Sailonline in 2012, he was always there to answer my questions, guiding me like a true mentor. His generosity with his time and knowledge was unmatched—whenever someone had a question, no matter the topic, Robert was always ready with insightful advice.

    Behind the scenes, he played a huge role in making Sailonline what it is today, particularly with buddy-up races. He had such a gift for landing these races that it almost seemed like magic! His dedication and contributions will never be forgotten.

    Though we never met in person, Robert's presence was so strong, his personality so warm and down-to-earth, that speaking with him in chat felt like you had met him in real life. I truly feel the loss of a dear friend.

    Fair winds, Robert. You will be deeply missed, but your legacy will always sail on. Rest peacefully until we meet again.

    My heartfelt condolences to Robert’s loved ones.

    Carib Rum Run 2023
    Board » Sailonline Yacht Club



    AHOY THERE, YE BEFUDDLED SCALLYWAGS!!!

    On 16 September at 1500utc Sailonline will start its annual race to collect barrels of rum from Carib distilleries and deliver what remains of their contents to Cancun, Mexico. This year the race will start three days before International Talk Like a Pirate Day (Sept 19)!

    All SYC Members are hereby invited to adopt a pirate name for this race only.

    If you are a paid-up SYC Member or if you join SYC during the Carib Rum Run you may request a change of your usual Sailonline boat name just in this one race to one of your piratical preference!

    Names are agreed on a first-come, first-served basis BUT all must be suitable and "fit to print", Sailonline is a family-friendly site so we reserve the right to disallow names we consider inappropriate.

    All requests for such changes will only be actioned if posted in this thread - hollering in chat is fun, but only by posting here can you guarantee your pirate name! You may pre-request a name in advance of the race opening for practice.

    PLEASE DO CHECK THE LIST BELOW before submitting a request so that you don't ask for a name already taken by someone else before you!

    Please note that the change of boat name for this one race will not affect either your usual login credentials (username and password) or your SYC rankings.

    Once the race opens, as always, I will be endeavouring to change boat names as efficiently as possible!

    REMINDER: you may join SYC and, once your burgee is visible, request a change of name for the race at any time up to and during the Carib Rum Run until race close!

    Good Evening all SOLers,

    If you would still like to take part with us SOTP SOLers in the Golden Globe Races 2018 as an
    SOTP SOLer, you're more than welcome! It is not too late! All you have to do is leave a reply in this Forum Thread and we shall add you.
    Please be advised however that I unfortunately can't watch this Forum Thread 24 hours a day but as soon as I have a chance I will
    check the forum and add you to the list. This however means that it may take some time for the "_SOTP" to appear at the
    end of your boat name, but do not worry as you WILL definitely be added at some point during the day.

    Please also note that when you want to login to your profile on Sailonline, do not include the "_SOTP" suffix as your username,
    you just merely login with your normal username as you always have been doing. For Example: If your boatname is "sol",
    you must sign in with "sol" and your normal password NOT "sol_SOTP".

    Have a great race and Fair Winds!

    Kind Regards
    Patrick

Melbourne Osaka Cup Double-Handed Yacht Race 2025

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and this year is such a year. So, this year’s online version is in sync with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organised by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. We’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat which should be a good match for many of the boats entered in the real race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across our course, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!

Lake Ladoga Ice Race


For our second race of the 2025 Ice Yachting series, we shall risk disturbing another sect of monks, these of the Orthodox persuasion rather than Buddhist. Good ice is often found in remote places, and remoteness breeds contemplation, and Valaam Island at 61.3N in the north east corner of Lake Ladogo is as remote as it gets. Surrounded by pristine ice in winter, we find there one of the great monasteries of Russian Orthodoxy. So, get your visa’s, fly to St Petersburg, take the N-121 north to Vladimirovka, and get your DN-skates on for another no-PL monk-minding race, this time of 110nm in length, out around Valaam, then Derevnya, to finish near Berezova.

Walyalup Sprint 2025


Once upon a time, aboriginal legend has it, the country of the Whadjuk people extended west from the present day Fremantle shoreline out to Rottnest island, but Walyalup as they called it was lost to the sea, and this sprint takes you across those inundated lands, round reefs and across shoals, 25nm in a Dufour 34. For the Walyalup, March fell in Bunuru, the hottest season of the year, which meant living near the water. Expect hot easterly winds, and cooling afternoon sea breezes with little to no rain. Perfect weather for a sail.

Tristan da Cunha to Coronation Island 2025

The adventure continues as we embark on the second leg of the RWW series, racing from Tristan da Cunha to the remote and uninhabited Coronation Island, NO, Elephant Island. Nestled between the Scotia Sea and the Weddell Sea, both island were named by 19th C British whalers. Prepare for a thrilling journey through the Roaring Forties and Furious Fifties, where relentless winds and challenging seas will test the mettle of every crew. This leg will be sailed aboard the historically iconic Steinlager II and is part of the prestigious OCCH 2025 series. The RWW series ranking will be determined by each team's best 7 out of 8 race results, so every moment counts! Are you ready to face the ultimate test of skill and endurance?

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!
