    Well done Rainbow - very well written and you could tell that it came from the heart. I too felt saddened that we were forced to cease sailing yesterday. I logged onto the VR site & was amazed to see how much they were charging for each add-on. I was also one of those ghost boats after just one leg of the VORG (I couldn't take it there anymore sailing blind)- SOL is so much better in my opinion. I live in Cork, so maybe instead of a F---N-- (is it trademarked?)race, we could race to Cork & back :-).

    I still have reservations on the DNF points given. Should someone who made a huge effort for the last 5 weeks on Leg 5 but finished in the bottom half of the race be given more points than someone who just set a course on a Saturday race & then didn't check it again?
    btw, my husbands 4th higest race in the rankings is one that he didn't even register for.
    I got more points for a DNS & DNF than I did coming 317 in leg 4.
    It just doesn't seem right

    Hi all

    I'd just like to hear comments on the new ranking system.
    I don't understand why points are given on a DNS or even on a DNF. It seems to award no effort.
    Also, it was nice to see the dates of the races shown in the old system - maybe we could have something set up when we click our profiles to show the races we've done in date order & the points given.
    However, at least the new system seems to show the latest top winners at a more correct place in the rankings, which is good.
    I'm new to all this so other peoples views would be great to hear.
    Thanks all

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
