13 February 2010

Hello dear sailing Friends, Sorry for the downtime, as your already know our database went belly-up. Our web server is now also acting as database and has been restored from the latest backup (which was the night before the crash, thank god it worked). Since we run without hot spares we knew that sooner or later we would have to face a hardware problem, but we will look into how we could have made the change quicker and smoother. So what will happen to the races that were ongoing when the crash happened? The Zilt Race will be re-run, probably in the opposite direction, the race at the time of the crash will not be counted towards the ranking. In the Round North Island 2010 - western leg race the standings at the time of the last backup will be the final results and counted in the ranking. If you have any questions or feedback, please post in the forum or email us, we read and absorb everything.

Thank you guys for all the effort you put into this! And even having been in a good position in the Zilt race I think a rerun is a fair solution for everybody.

Thanks for your hard work in fixing the problem. Regarding Zilt race, since it was more than 2/3 done, it is not fair to ignore it completely. I propose you re-run Zilt and count as final the best of the two runs. Thanks again

Fairest to re-run both races IMHO, If Zilt is re-run, why not the same thinking apply to the NZ Race? Personally I was sailing well west of rhumb line to get a better breeze and had gained over 100 places? now my overall points will be peanalised. So let's re-run BOTH races. IRL a race "abandoned" can be resailed.

We should all thank to sol team for providing such a fun & educative platform...and free-riders instead of criticizing should make the donation to support the sol efforts making it possible for the upkeep of the site. At the last count only 385 SYC members at $35 trying to support this effort where over 1000 boats participate! If we want a better service then we should pay for it.

I agree with RAFA,as it is not fair to exclude completely that race which almost 3/4 completed.I was fighting for very first position neglecting the other race.Now I lost on both. In real races that would be a shortened race and they actual positions would count,no way that the race is completely neglected.So you are trying to be as close as possible to real races with SOL,therefor I would say you should follow the rules of real races and we would have no excuses than to complain on your decisions. I know you are trying hardly to do your best but you should also admit some of your errors and try to correct them. Best regards Capt.Damir

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!
