    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

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Baia de l'Oiseau to Carnarvon


How ever shall I return to report with clear report to the Sultan – asked Sinbad. It must be told this island and all its fables shall be expunged from the annals of every thousand and one night. The wind howls here, and sun be none (it’s Winter, Sin, ed.) and all days from the west, but let’s launch anyway and see if we can work our SOL Balloon north as the days pass aiming for Asthralaya, where The Mahabharata tells the ancients once tested mighty weapons, about a quarter and a million qasbah away (2500nm, ed.), perhaps one month.

Nantucket Sprint 2025


Welcome to Nantucket, from whence Herman Melville’s Cap’n Ahab sailed round The Horn into the northern Pacific Ocean to hunt the gray whale - whose migrations are celebrated elsewhere in SOL’s Q4 schedule - he never to return. And whaling too, as the 19th C progressed, like Ahab disappeared from Nantucket as the harbour silted up and mainland Massachusetts whaling stations benefited from rail connections. But beach life, yachting and nostalgia has rescued the island from oblivion, so to celebrate leisure, SOL gives you the Nantucket Sprint - 25nm in 29er_XX’s from Great Point to Muskeget & Tuckernuck Islands across the sound to a finish just inside the mouth of the harbour. Enjoy!
