Report

Commentary

One of the many things that regular SOLing teaches you is the nature of the prevailing winds in the different corners of the world, and so for the veterans of our fleet memories of multiple Gray Whale Migrations, SoCal 300s and Puerto Vallarta feeders will have come flooding back as they headed out into a light north westerly from Two Harbours' Isthmus Cove for this final sprint of the SOL year on December 19th, SoCal Saturday morning.

No surprise then that this sprint was going to take slightly longer than the 'advertised' four hours, and as you can read in our winner rumskib's very thorough report, his plans were laid accordingly. Eight hours instead of four hours also meant that, for those making early mistakes various opportunities for redemption were to be found over the second half of the race, beating into an ever so slightly freshening breeze, and thus it was that leader calmxy was hauled in, allowing bonknhoot to take P2 and with it the 2020 Sprint Championships overall by just a very few points from super competitive Q4 and Q1 winner calmxy. But rumskib was uncatchable – as per another regular theme from the Stories of SOL!

Susan Hood Trophy Race 2026

Lake Ontario Offshore Racing (LOOR) welcomes racers to Sailonline’s virtual version of their annual Susan Hood Trophy Race. This year, this pleasant weekender on western Lake Ontario will be of about 60nm in length, and online for convenience will start and finish at the Port Credit Yacht Club (PCYC). At or before the real-life Skipper’s Briefing a decision will be made to race the course clockwise (course Delta) or anti-clockwise (Echo). If there is time we will match this online. As before, the race is the first of two that will count towards a special Sailonline's LOOR Series medals, but this year we sail in Jeanneau Sun Fast 3300s. Bon voyage!

The fourth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us out of the Pacific into the Atlantic for a 2200nm race in Judel Vrolijk 62’s, from the desolation of St Helena, there where Napolean Bonaparte saw out the end of his life, to the even greater desolation of Fogo in the Cape Verde’s. You’ll have to cross the equator, with the coasts of Africa and South America your only navigational restrictions.
