Board » In memoriam

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

Re: Practice Races for Aussie- and Kiwi SOL'ers

Board » Practice Racing

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

Melbourne to Osaka 2023
Welcome to Melbourne for Sailonline's alternative version of the Melbourne to Osaka Double Handed Yacht Race - a 5000 nautical miler. This year again we're racing the RP-66, but the route is unlimited what comes to waypoints. Because the IRL version does not run this year, we took the freedom to make our own route!
It could be a long race, east or west, and of course some doldrums to negotiate!

Altogether 1372 nm of great and demanding sailing from Hopa (the easternmost point of the Turkish Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost point of Turkey's Mediterranean coast).

Sinbad Seeks Spices 2023
Having surveyed Arabia, Sinbad Al-SOL’er next invites you to race him on his second of seven epic voyages to every corner of the Indian Ocean and beyond, this time to seek spices in Zanzibar, departing from Xaafun, a trading post on the tip of the Horn of Africa since the days of the Mycenaeans and on through Roman times to the Nights of 1,001 of AL-Sail’or, Al-SOL’er’s illustrious ancestor. SOLing by the sun and the stars, aka seat-of-the-pants, the voyage will take you east as far as Praslin island, south as far as Anjouan, to Zanzibar’s Unguja for all things spices, but only back as far as Mogidishu – another exhausting 3000nm adventure, this time in Reichel/Pugh 66s.
