I was with SOL almost from the beginning. I can only agree with the letter RC wrote. In know what an effort it cost to Kalle, Jacob and Jeroen to maintain this game on such an high level FOR FREE! It's a shame that an institution like RORC choose for money instead of good seamanship.
Good to see that a lot of the SOL-members have the same opinion. Keep up the good spirit of this game.

Thank you all for your supportive comments. I was somewhat apprehensive of sending it but I was jolly cross!! Guess you can work that out for yourselves!!

Anyway, thus far no acknowledgement and no reply. The email was submitted on the email form on the RORC website but the subject line read "FAO Commodore McIrvine - re RORC's action against SOL 9 August 2009".

Obviously if anyone else has a more personal email addy for the Commodore of RORC then I will be happy to use that too!

I just did what I could with the basic resources available to me this morning as I didn't want to delay.

Very well written RC, I am sure you reflect the sentiments of all of us sailing on SOL. I was dissappointed to wake up to find the race cancelled, and angered to learn the reason! I hope this reached it's intended mark and has some affect. Go the little guys!

Well done & said RC.

Perhaps sending it to ROLEx and all their different sales offices world wide would give an interesting result and perhaps some "power" and a pressure point from Rolex onto the RORC.

If we all sent emails, . . . . to all the offices etc. . . . .

Cheers!!

Well said. I agree with your sentiments. The RORC is sadly out of line on this one.

Current Races:

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!

Shetland Race 2026 - Leg 1


Get ready to tackle the North Sea as we sail from Norway’s stunning outer Korsfjorden to the rugged Shetland Isles! Welcome to an exciting new chapter for this classic 190-nautical-mile ocean route, bringing our global community together for a true test of strategy and seamanship.

This year, the race is a proud stop in Sailonline's 2026 Super Buddy Championship, which features our real-life racing partnerships over the calendar year. We are stepping aboard the Linjett 33, a sturdy Swedish cruiser-racer designed by Mats Gustavsson and built by Rosättra Båtvarv. Seasoned veteran or eager newcomer, prepare for intense competition.

Plot your course and see you at the start line!

Thessaloniki to Port Said 2026

Welcome back to the Eastern Mediterranean for the fifth race of our Magical Mediterranean Series. Only marginally less unlikely to be ever raced in real life during SOL’s lifetime than our previous race from Tobruk to Iskenderun, this 710nm race takes us from Greece’s ancient northern port of Thessaloniki through the Aegean island maze, south east into the Levantine Sea to a finish in modern Port Said, in splendid Swan 65s!
