    In Memoriam - Rob Neilson (Tyger)
    Board » In memoriam
    Vale TYGER who passed away on the 11th of January at around 00:00UTC (11am local time) in his Melbourne apartment while on the phone to emergency services.

    As a rower and rugby player Robert Neilson was a natural as a grinder on a keelboat where sailing was in his blood.

    In retirement the professional marketer with a perfect radio voice served as Sail Online's (SOL) Marketing Director from 2012 to 2021. In that role he spoke daily (24/7) with Commodores, CEOs and sailing administrators at yacht clubs around the world including NYYC, RHKYC, RMYS, ORCV and many many more.

    I met Rob around 2011 in the lead up to the 2013 Melbourne to Osaka double-handed yacht race. Together we set up a virtual version of the race via SOL. Some of the competitors used SOL to help them prepare for the race ahead. SOL has run the virtual race every year since and will be available again for friends and family during this year's 2025 M2O race.

    I am sure many of you have personal memories that no one else knows, so please share them here. I will also be sure to pass those on to his family.

    Very sad news to hear.
    Rod has been around longer than I have and was a fine competitor. Especially in the practice races which he was always in when I had time to race in those.

    I am in Vermont, not far from where Rod lived in terms of the globe we raced around so many times. It was always nice to see him in races.

    Fair winds Rod.

    Look for tides, currents etc and you will find something like XTide.
    https://flaterco.com/xtide/

    Maybe this will help you to an answer for your question.

    In QTVLM look for configuration>gribs and harmonics.
    I can not imagine it to be useful in SOL. SOL routing does only use weather (grib).

    Hi Kipper1258,

    Is there a way to reduce the size of the "AutoGrib" pop up window?
    _____________________________________
    move your mouse-cursor to the left upper corner of the popup window and resize the popup-window.
    (with mouse leftclick-hold and move.with touchpad tap-hold and move)

    Assuming it is a 'windows' laptop. Mac or other os I do not know 'how to' things.

    If you do not see appear an arrow in a corner then double click somewhere in the top-middle of the popup-window and try again to resize.

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
