	I have only been on SOL since the middle of 2009 so, correct me if I am wrong, but I think WINSTON_4 might be the first SYC Member to lead the SYC Ranking with a perfect score... i.e., max top marks in the current top races that are used to calculate rank. Click here to see what it looks like!! V V well done WIN!!! Obviously, the Iceland TIMED Race is still running so this perfect score may not last very long, but for now I think it really is an excellent result and deserving of publicity!! ___________________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2012-03-10 15:14:52 ---

	Yes truly an awesomely consistent performer! I can say from experience now - many probably do not appreciate quite how difficult it is to win a race on SOL (especially when WIN is racing ) So to have 33% win rate over 30 races is simply phenomenal! What do they put in your coffee over there in Italy? I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	This is really an amazing achievement. Winning races here is so difficult, every race is different and the competition is outstanding. Winston, my sincere congratulations! I only hope you will not get bored and stick around for a while so we all can learn a thing or two about sailing tactics. Antonio

	RC Thanks for this very nice gift. Without your fantastic work in organizing the racing this result would have not been achieved. ITA Thanks . I perfectly remember you did 11 at one stage. I can say for sure that I never aimed to beat your record..It just happened by itself. Remember that I will never be your competitor....only your ever since wingman... Aaron Thanks....I see in your words the hidden comment ( take a break !! ahahahahah ) .....I will surely do.... btw : it is not 10 on 30....it is 10 on 25 LOLOLOLOLOL SP when I read your poetry I felt like really entering the hall of fame....thanks FYI though .....I am not the best of the best ....Ask around...you will get those 2 to 5 names who have been/are the real best of the best ..... BUT you needed a rhime ! it' ok for this time !

	Amazing performance over the last year. Congratulations. I'll be over the moon if I ever win one. I've been looking at all the results for the races recently. Excluding the timed races, WIN has won by far the most at 36. Then brainaid (24), ita10267 (17), 76trombones (12) and jepsom (11). They are the only SOLers who have more than 10 wins. 55 have won a race. 30 have won more than one.

	WIN said @ 2012-03-11 16:07:37: Aaron you right !! it is 10 on 30 !! LOL may be you are also right that I need a rest ... Piero ====================== No I did not intend to say you should take a break...!! It adds quite another level to the race to try and win when your are in it! The 2 races I have finished ahead of you (and also Turkey where I finish just behind) have probably been the most rewarding races I've done on SOL! (especially the one both you and ita were behind me ) I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

Current Races:

Port Huron to Chicago 2024

At the end of the third quarter of the ARCH series, we invite you to participate in a nice regatta with RC44 on the Great Lakes in the USA. We sail 460nm from Port Huron across the lakes to Chicago.
Throw away unnecessary ballast from your boats. Fresh water has less buoyancy, which means greater draft and greater resistance to movement, which means lower speeds, etc.😊

The Beagle in Tahiti 2024

Leaving the Galapagos behind, the course was west again, and by November 15th the Beagle reached Tahiti. Like Gauguin, sixty years later, Darwin found the natives, recently Christianized, pleasant and intelligent, but unlike Gauguin, this did not persuade him or his captain, Fitzroy, to tarry long. Let’s have a sail-around in 2024 anyway; 640nm, as ever in the Class B Tall Ship HMS Beagle.

Round Greenland 2024

Just as Skip Novak was embarking for Kamchatsky, Amyr Klink also quietly slipped his Antarctica moorings and by now Paratii 2 has reached Reykjavik, where he invites you to join him on Leg 5 of our High Latitudes Series, a full 3650nm circumnavigation of Greenland. The course is clockwise round, so down the North Atlantic to Cape Farewell, then up the Davis Strait into Baffin Bay and on into the Arctic Ocean proper, where, hopefully and certainly virtually, Paratii 2’s special ice-breaker features will get us thorough the summer ice out onto the Greenland Sea and back to Reykjavik. Stay warm!
