    Re: In Memoriam - Rob Neilson (Tyger)
    Board » In memoriam
    Much has been written remembering Robert, but perhaps it needs to be said that not only was Robert a terrific marketeer, who really really knew 'the World and its wife' in offshore racing land, but a hugely practical manager, adept at 'throwing it over the fence' once the contacts were established and the plan was in place, as I experienced in 2020, when via go'ol Skype (soon to be discontinued) he walked me into creating a voiced presentation on 'How to SOL' for the website of the Newport Bermuda Race organization. I said you're lucky I have some Powerpoint experience. He said I knew you would have. That was Robert, thinking ahead.

    Slightly awestruck by sailj29's epic on racing from BA to Rio, his fellow poets were silent for a while, but ice and islands got a few keys clicking once again...

    Bonk might bail
    And leave his tight group.
    Will his instinct
    Confirm the route?
    Hippo and Happy, Vida and more,
    Baffin bound,
    Or Hudson Bay chore?

    bonknhoot
    Baffin or bust
    Strait Bellot is cursed
    But, who knows, Jones Sound
    Might be found
    Be an option profound
    Where I’ll then be bound
    In for a penny, in for a pound


    Satori
    If you think that flat is the earth,
    Then you should have stayed in your berth
    Those who think the earth is round,
    Are going north Baffin Island bound!

    bonknhoot
    As the leaders pass Wales
    Engaging in pleasant exchange
    It is high time we admit
    Baffin Sound was not it
    A whole day it cost
    So on we went north
    But to little avail
    In short, a big fail.

Lake Ontario 300 Challenge 2025

Lake Ontario Offshore Racing (LOOR) welcomes Sailonline sailors (SOLers for short) to a second virtual version of a race in their annual series, the LO300. As the name implies, the LO300 is a 300nm offshore race across the length and breadth of Lake Ontario, from and back to Port Credit YC. Once again, as is our wont on Lake Ontario, a fleet of Beneteau First 36.7s is being made available to virtual racers. There is an overall prize for the SOLer who best bosses Lake Ontario over the two races hosted by Sailonline, this 300 and the Susan Hood raced back in May; so, let the competition be fierce!
