As you remeber a little group of SOLers will go round the south ireland rock in 2 weeks...
As it will be a nice trip of 5 to 7 days you are welcome to submit your musical proposal, for music to listen and to play...

2013-08-01 17:49:02 - Re: play list for round the rock wanted.
Due to the noise level onboard classical or jazz music will be somehow difficult to listen to. Rock (sic!!!) Music and related noise productions are mandatory.

Of course, The Fastnet is something
"Once in a lifetime" - (Talking Heads) - a good starter.
Prestart procedure includes
"Holding the compass" (Family).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0ct7suhIgA
As Solent is a tricky water,
"Diggin in the dirt" (Peter Gabriel)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0C3DHp36zc or
"Do the Strand" (Roxy Music)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2yGudJ_BQ0
might be unwanted but neccessary - followed by
"Dirty Work" (Steely Dan) to clean up the mess.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghcsrblhn7A
Of course you will hope for:
"Lord, here comes the Flood" (Fripp/Gabriel)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNmYVHGkx9k
and somebody might respond:
"Tide is high" (Atomic Kitten)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8CMsQ-p1ls
Looking out for new weather from the west might need a
"Watcher of the Skies" (Genesis)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bETFh4eRdM8
and - related to the horse whisperer - a windwhisperer. We have one:
"Listening Wind" (Talking Heads)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEluoeMLTCI
At the Needles the fleed might get squeezed a bit so you will shout:
"Don't stand so close (to me)" (Police).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNIZofPB8ZM
Way of Right Problems have to be solved
"Urgent" (Foreigner).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA6id4--BDg
On the long leg to the rock you will have time to meditate about
"The Water" (Leslie Feist)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpUoXG6JiO4
until the Chef is calling:
"Suppers Ready" (Genesis)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kORf_0uVTw
The night might start with some
"Kaltes Klares Wasser" (Malaria!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAg4VmBY7so
and of course - the usual night calm. So you are
"Becalmed" (Eno)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QKEpoDYqdo and
"Waiting for the wind" (Spooky Tooth)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6KAYUXkXP4
At dawn it might get
"Frosti" (Björk)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-i1SqFJ3K8Q
but soon the new front will be in and you are becoming
"Raiders on the Storm" (Doors)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qRJIBtbc2c
Unfortune could bring some thunderstorms and
"St.Elmo's Fire" (Eno)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-3djUYgebU
and soon you feel like a
"A salty Dog" (Procul Harum)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7JBpRragNU
and be on the
"Road to Nowhere" (Talking Heads)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPQcnjlwtE4
and you would ask yourself:
"What have I done to deserve this" (Pet Shop Boys)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VtuZqQq1Hs
But then you see THE ROCK with his
"Eternal Flame" (Bangles)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwajTekSAcM
on
"The Lighthouse" (Eno/Byrne)
Rounding the magic point you will feel
"A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" (Van der Graaf Generator)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asPDvjUYFy4
Make sure, you round it properly and not end in the
"Blue Lagoon" (Laurie Anderson)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CiSBD9dcoI
otherwise somebody might find out:
"This is not America" (Bowie)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygO6IeJResw
On the way back you might see
"Weird Fishes" (Radiohead)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdFqkhX0lN4
When everything works out and you are the leader, you will feel
"Lonely at the top" (Randy Newman)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlmGJQq3AlM
You might be in the mood to listen to
"Oh Fortuna" (Carl Orff) if nothing else could help for victory.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdIpoE2LEps
Afterwards in the club the main thing starts:
"Sailors Tale" - here presented by King Crimson.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtbtr4_o-lM

PS: As myself, this list might be a bit outdate, but still worth listening to every single piece :-)

Here's a few of my favorite sailing songs.
Links to YouTube for checking out. There are a few others that I need to find.

I was going to start a new thread for sailing songs/music, but this works just as well.

Hope you enjoy. ;-)

Viareggio Bastia Viareggio 2026

Our sixth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil - was planned to be our third buddy-up with another incredible Italian event, the Viareggio Bastia Viareggio (or BVR for short). Unfortunately, in-real-life the BVR has been cancelled this year. But online we shall race it never the less. It’s a quickie – a 160nm roundtrip there-and-back in classic Class 40. Have fun, and if you’re planning a BBQ, piccola isola Capraia halfway across is simply lovely!

Shetland Race 2026 - Leg 2


After the thrill of the first leg, we don't linger long in Lerwick, Shetland. Following brief but joyous celebrations, it's time to set sail back across the North Sea to Bergen, Norway, for the gripping second leg of the Shetland Race 2026!

Covering another unpredictable 190 nautical miles, tactical depth and fierce competition await. This year, we take the helm of the Linjett 33. Designed by Mats Gustavsson in 1994 for Sweden's historic Rosättra Båtvarv, this sturdy, quality cruiser-racer has been a Sailonline favourite in northern waters since 2010. Whether you are chasing victory or savoring the voyage, hoist your sails and let the journey home begin!

Brisbane to Keppel Tropical Yacht Race 2026


When the winter weather turns cool in southern Australia, sailors head up to the warmer tropics. Sailors from all over the world make their way to The Great Barrier Reef for the big winter regattas at Hamilton Island, Airlie Beach and Magnetic Island.
This year's B2K will start on 20 June to offer an event suited to a broader range of boats. Sailonline is, once again, joining with the racers from RQYS to race the 343 nautical miles from Brisbane to Keppel Island, this time in our First 44.7. It might be winter down under, but all you will need is shorts and t-shirts.

Newport Bermuda Race 2026


The 636-mile Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet and the Sydney Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. First raced in 1906, now in its 54th biennial, the Race can again also be participated in online. In real life, the race is open to entry in four different division – Double-Handed, St. David's Lighthouse, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, and Finisterre Division – which in the past we have also offered online. This year, however, our online race will be all-in one-design in silky swift Club Swan 50 yachts, so that your results can count towards SOL’s SUPerBUDdy title, whilst hopefully still giving you a chance of overall line honours against the fastest yachts of the real-life Gibbs Hill Division, especially if you can find some forecast winds that don’t quite work out that way on the real water!
