Board » Flag Officers » Races » Lake Winnebago NNYC 150th Anniversary Race

Sailonline is delighted to announce that it will be joining Neenah Nodaway Yacht Club in the celebration of 150 years since the club was incorporated in 1864, making it one of the oldest yacht clubs in the USA.

Normally, Lake Winnebago is covered with ice and snow, but for this race, it will be ice-free, and ready to welcome all SOLers to take to the water on J-80s. Chat with NNYC club members during the race and do make time to visit the online club archives.

Race start is 18 January 2014 at 1600utc.

Hello,

I am pleased to announce on behalf of the NNYC board of directors that the winner of the Lake Winnebago NNYC 150th Anniversary Race will be awarded a T-Shirt and other goodies from the NNYC Ship's Store - http://www.nnyc.org/store

Tune those rigs and get ready for another great SOL race on Lake Winnebago. Watch for NNYC boats along the way, and if we pass you, keep in mind that the lake is frozen right now, and we have skates on our keels :)

Good Luck SOLers!

Derek (Note: zowee is now NNYC Scooter)

Thanks to all who participated in the race! The Neenah Nodaway Yacht Club was thrilled to sponsor this year's race to kickoff the club's 150th Anniversary Celebration. We realize that the hour was late for Europeans, and the winds were lighter than we would have preferred, but it was a fun event for us - see our race day photos at http://www.nnyc.org/online-race and Sailonline gained several new "SOLers" as well as several new SYC members. Watch for NNYC boats in future SOL races.

The Vineyard Race 2026


For the 16th consecutive year, our SOLers are invited to tackle this iconic 250nm overnighter. The classic route charges out through the sound, leaves Buzzards Bay Light to starboard, rounds Block Island to starboard, and heads home.

This year's weapon of choice is the Beneteau First 47.7. A proven performer since its 2012 SOL debut, this Farr-designed cruiser/racer excels at leading real and virtual handicap fleets. Success will demand sharp tactical navigation, so watch the polars closely to conquer the sound's shifting winds!

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
