    Hi RC!

    Just let you know I saw a little "glitch" in the big "SOL-Around-the-World-Race-Week", it seems like the date for the start of the first leg should be the 6th of november (if it should start on a sunday).
    Looks like both tuesday and wednesday that week has the same date (1st of nov). Not the end of the world - just wanted you to know so there will be no confusion when the big race is getting closer. :)

    Regards, V71

    "SOL ECLIPSE 2011-2012"

    (An extra edge in this is that SOL in swedish means SUN)

    A team challenge with best 4 boats from each country each leg would be fun.

    If SOL could contribute with small prizes as mentioned above, it would be great (membership to individual winner, maybe t-shirts or caps to best team), nothing fancy or expensive, just to spice it up a bit. :-)

    Imoca leg 5 - the humble beast
    Board » General Discussion
    There once was a humble dane called Mouthansar starting from Cape Horn East
    The longer the race went on, it turned out he really was a determined Beast
    The persevering man held the lead throughout the Race
    The difficult weather along africas coast was almost like a Mace
    Let´s hope it will be the humble beast who in Gibraltar will arrive first and start the Feast!

    I am honored to be dedicated a limerick by the great poet. I bow and take my sailinghat off.
    I also hope I can live up to the poetry and be the first boat to arrive the port of Cape Town.
    The first cold beer, is going to be marked with your name on it, Mouthansar!

    Cheers, V71

    Sorry for triple pics - something went wrong and I couldn´t figure out how to delete the attachments? (Is there a way to do that? - or maybe to delete the post and do it all over again, couldn´t find that option neither...) The smallest pic (118,4kb) is the only one you have to check...)

    The Velux 5 Oceans, ultimate solo challenge
    Board » Flag Officers » Race proposals
    The ultimate solo challenge, round the world in 6 legs, Open 60 class.
    http://www.velux5oceans.com/#/the-race/race-route/36

    I don´t know if this has been a subject of discussion here before, the departure of the first leg La Rochelle-CapeTown is scheduled to 17th of october.

    Maybe a bit late to squeeze into the SOL's racecalender, but it would be fun!

    Fair Winds!

    Re: Poll / Discussion on Number of Races on SOL
    Board » General Discussion
    Howdy!

    I do understand that this is a very difficult issue and to meet everyone's needs are probably quite impossible.

    My personal view of it all, is if the server allows it:

    1) pretty much always try to have a "long race" on it´s way - that is, oceanraces spanning 2-3-4-5 weeks (in these races it´s often enough to check your boat once or maybe twice a day). ( ---> About 8-10 races/year)

    2) Furthermore, weekraces (5-10 days duration) could be held say, twice a month. ( ---> About 20-25 races/year)

    3) And weekend/sprint races could be held every weekend. ( ---> About 50 races/year)

    However, this is just my humble opinion - nothing is wrong and nothing is right, I think the important thing is that there should be races for all tastes and the different opportunity to spend the time, we all do this because it´s fun!.

Isle of Wight RTI Sprint 2025


Welcome to the Isle of Wight in the British Isles. A past home to Queen Victoria and the foundation of the America's Cup when yacht racing became popular in the 1800's. This particular race was last raced on SOL in 2012 to follow Soler JuJu sailing around the island. We return, long overdue, to race our final Q2 sprint around the island.

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2025

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.
Our online version of the race will be a TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto try again after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
