    I was saddened to hear about Joao (psail). A valued and respected member of the SOL community. I offer my sincere condolences to his family and friends. Fair winds mate.

    Not a request. Slimey Gobspittle.
    Spell it right frilly drawers or I’ll tie your guts for gaskets with a slippery hitch.
    Slimey, master pirate of the Southern Seas. Not a sun tanned pretender or a namby-pamby, pond-paddling, northern hemisphere would-be, who shakes at the sight of a proper ocean.

    Hawk - spit - fart – aaaaaaaah.

    yer monicker be set, ye impertinent clay-brained pignut

    G'day Bimmer,
    Thanks for the thought.
    I often see the chat and feel I might enjoy a PR - participants obviously do, but I have never considered doing one.
    I think I do enough SOLing as it is.
    I prefer not to suggest times that might suit me because I am not prepared to make a commitment to participate.
    Meantime I will pay more attention to PR times and may join you in one.
    Regards Billy

Lake Ontario 300 Challenge 2026

Lake Ontario Offshore Racing (LOOR) welcomes Sailonline sailors to a second virtual version of a race in their annual series, and for the sixth year in succession the LO300. As the name implies, the LO300 is a 300nm offshore race across the length and breadth of Lake Ontario, from and back to Port Credit YC. This year, for the first time, we will be racing the 300nm circuit in Sun Fast 3200s. As usual, there is an overall prize for the SOLer who best bosses Lake Ontario over the two races hosted by Sailonline, this LO300 and the Susan Hood raced back in May, and this year also the race and the Susan Hood count towards the title of Super Buddy 2026; so, let the competition be fierce!

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?!
