Reports

Commentary

A small but ultra-competitive fleet of 66 very racy Carkeek 40 yachts turned up for our annual Stockholm archipelago birthday bash from Revengegrundet Light to Jakob's mooring at Baggensfjärden.

Just how competitive it all was can be savoured from the reports by two of our podium-placers under the Stockholm arms inspired buttons above. And it was seats-of-the-pants that won the day, with perhaps our greatest SOPer, the SMOster, and brave brellis as well of course showing (and telling) us just how it is done!

Commentary

Round the Horn(e) was a terrific comedic radio show in the UK in the mid 60s, but in 2024 it was not a quick way to sailonline from the Bay of San Sebastian on the north western shore of Tiera del Fuego to Nelson's Strait in the southern reaches of the Chilean Archipelago. Nevertheless, many a SOLer, not into the peculiar (like the radio show) fun and humour of taking a Class B Tall Ship through the narrows of the Straits of Magellan, gave it a go. And there was wisdom in this, as many another SOLer who ventured into the straits ended up running aground for indeterminate periods, when perhaps they were asleep, or simply distracted by things other than SOL, challenging their sense of humour.

However, there was one, and perhaps only one, SOLer, who it looks like transited the straits without mishap, or at least so it would appear, as WRmirekd made it to the finish a solid hour and a half before his nearest pursuer. Simply awesome!

Reports

Commentary

The “Tyrrhenian Tour 2024” was the closing race of the ARQ1 classification. Not all contenders were lucky. Only 81 yachts finished the race. What was disappointing was the small and relatively weak participation of the Italian team in their home waters. Their honour was saved only by ITA210, which ultimately took 5th place.

French skippers Rick1_95, whose report you can read, and ALP317 had an excellent performance, taking 2nd and 3rd place respectively. We are particularly pleased with the excellent place of ALP317, who joined us only in January this year. Our current leader WRmirekd, did not disappoint either, winning the race and the first quarter classification.

Unfortunately, there was also a failure of our server, which was fortunately repaired quickly by the technical team. We would like to thank everyone for their involvement and congratulate the winners.

Bazaruto PYOC Sprint 2024

CONGRATULATIONS Comocean !!!

Race Leaderboard

Commentary

In the first sprint of Q2 76 solers registered, 66 boats set sail, and 62 finished. Our podium was separated by only 10 seconds in 5 second steps. As is typical of sprints every second counts and in the top 11 there were 3 ties separated by the server to the non-visible milliseconds. The top 14 boats finished within 40 seconds. Well done! Those are tight margins and any could be on the podium in that group given a tiny shift in a course decision. The result is a thrilling finish with nail-biting tension as the server sorts it all out.

Next up, a sprint along the German coast in the North sea. Rest up, there is just enough time for your nails to grow back, and come prepared, it is bound to be another tight race.

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER. This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.
