    Carib Rum Run 2025
    Board » Sailonline Yacht Club




    AHOY THERE, YE RUM-GUZZLIN’ ROGUES!

    On 15 September at 00:00UTC 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 four 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!

    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.

    Re: Golden Globe Races 2018 - Seat Of The Pants commitment
    Board » Sailonline Yacht Club
    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

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Sao Tomé to Tristan

The fifth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back south down the Atlantic from Sao Tomé on the Equator to Tristan da Cunha on the edge of the Roaring Forties. It’s 2500nm; in your path the Benguela winds and current along the south west African coast, and behind that the St Helena High stretching halfway to South America. So, mind where you go in your Volvo OD65 version 3 (based on sampled real-life race data by kroppyer)!

New Ice Age 2026 - Neumayer Station to Scott Base


For a second-half of long-distance ice-boating, we take our DNs to Antarctica for a circumnavigation of that continent in two legs clockwise, in harmony with the prevailing winds (such as there are), beginning with a race from Germany’s Neumayer Station to New Zealand’s Scott Base. It’s about 3500nm, which, 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?!
