    Forum technical but not sailing related.

    I am seeing an increasing of activity in the Forum with SPAM post in every section , let me call them "facebook style": e.G.
    - I found a nice weather site for my town....
    - I was there once and was nice....
    -Air traffic management is a complex system....
    Any chance to block them?
    Cheers,
    Gilles
    (please SOL TEAM, keep doing your excellent work!)

    An increadible entushiastic person.
    With too much energy to be kept inside.
    He was sparkling all around at every moment.
    May he bring good wind to all friends and family still sailing thinking at him.

    The sad news have spread amongst the members of the SOL Italian Team. They have expressed the desire that I add their grief to mine here.

    So …..On behalf of all those who fly the Italian flag high on the mast of the SOL pinky boats …. A BIG HUG to Joao …..

    You have always expressed friendship and respect for us …….it is now our time to pay total respect to you ….Thank you Joao !! …..

    The “Padrão dos Descobrimentos” will steer with you on every sea and ocean !

    Italians pay respect to Portuguese navigators (33 + 1)

    Ciao

    Re: First SOL meetup in north Europe
    Board » Sailonline Yacht Club
    was not a surprise that the most answer I got were "no boat?, no party!"
    Accidentally the 2 options that I have to grab a boat has sinked in the last weeks....
    So I have to postpone this on a next future.
    Could be that I will go there anyhow as there is holiday in Germany.

    However the plan B is the following:
    I will attend to the presentation of SOL during the buddyup with the Silverrudder, same location, end of September.
    The local SOL crew is already up and running for that.
    So stay tuned, there WILL BE a SOL party in DK this year! ;)
    Good wind

Skimmer Dragonfly - India to East Africa 2026


In the autumn, when the rains stop and the tourists thicken in Goa and along the north western coast of India, globe skimming dragonfly climb to the skies (up to 1500m) to catch the high-altitude ITCZ winds and glide south west to East Africa. We’ll stay at sea level, where alas the winds will be less predictable, and race them there, the whole 2400nm of the way, in Carkeek 40s.

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
