Board » Sailonline Yacht Club » 2017 SMPF SCHEME

=======================================
2017 SMPF IS LOOKING FOR SPONSORS !!!!! :)
=======================================

As you all know the SMPF scheme (SYC Membership Pay Forward) has been a success in 2016.

At the end of some 19 races in 2016 one annual membership to the Sailonline Yacht Club was made available by a member of the SOL Community to the best finishing NON member in each race. The 19 winners are now happy members of SYC and compete for one year in all rankings.

The 2016 sponsors did either make their Sponsorship publicly known, or acted anonymously under the flag of the Sailonline Yacht Club.

The SMPF scheme will repeat in 2017, and the Board is now looking for Sponsors throughout the Club Community. The number of slots available is extremely limited, as in 2017 ONLY ONE SMPF race per month will be nominated and sponsored. For obvious organizational reasons we have already THREE sponsors for the first Quarter, whose Calendar had to be published by December 15th 2016. So: only nine places are still available.

By responding promptly to this invitation you will secure yourself a slot in the 2017 Sponsorship list , and if the number of available slots will be completed prior to your proposed sponsorship , you can rest assured that you will be given priority list for 2018.

All you need to do at this time is to write to: coord@sailonline.org , and confirm your willingness to support the SMPF scheme in 2017.

Some important information before you decide:

1)– Your participation to the scheme, should you want to remain anonymous, will be treated in fully confidential mode by the Coordinator and the Sailonline Nav Sim AB President, who will be the only two persons aware of your position in the scheme.

2)- This is by no means a solicitation to invest USD 35,00 into our platform, and you should not in any way feel obliged to adhere to the scheme.

3)- In 2017 the prerequisite of not being a SYC member for the past six months to become eligible for the SMPF scheme , in case of finishing first of non-members, has been raised to twelve months at the moment of finishing the SMPF race.

We look forward to hearing from you and to a well supported 2017 SMPF scheme!

On behalf of Sailonline NAV SIM AB

Red Eye 2026 - Georgian Bay

Welcome to the sensational scenic Georgian Bay of northern Lake Huron, the first area of the Great Lakes to be visited by Europeans in 1615, so former SOLer A2R informed us when he designed this geometrically tortuous course of 317nm criss-cross through its island maze. Originally known as Lake Manitoulin, in 1822 the bay was renamed after King George IV after his succession to the throne. This time we’ll take the very flashy Fareast 31R, which hopefully should keep you wide awake!

Welcome to the fourth of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International .

Chinook Salmon - Canada to Andreanovs


A year after spawning in the upper reaches of the rivers of British Columbia, Chinook Salmon develop the age-old urge, so familiar to SOLers, to go to sea, heading for different parts of the northern Pacific Ocean. This race catches up with a particular school with an instinctive memory for the Andreanov Islands far west on the Aleutian Islands chain, as they depart the Salian Sea between Vancouver Island and the San Juans. It’s 2200nm and we’re taking the 60ft Trimaran, in the hope we can keep up!
