Hi Folks, YuanHang here. 50 years old, English and living in England just about as far from the sea as possible!
I only started sailing 3 years ago, have a 21ft junk rigged boat on the Lincolnshire coast.
Far too slow to race in real life......me and the boat!

Hi SOLings, K3 here. 46, m, sailing as often as possible, still not enough. Many races when I was younger (Star), now more family sailing (H-boat) and some escapes on everything (Laser, 470, X-37) and occasional races.

SOL keeps me awake when I've to work at night.

Hola!

My name is Antonio

-42 yrs. old
-Homeport: San Juan, Puerto Rico
-Been sailing since I was 4 yrs. old. My dad taught me how to sail on a Sunfish he'd bought way before he married my mom! The bulk of my sailing lately was on a J/80 "Ex Mero Motu" which I owned for 13 years and sold it a year ago.

Cheers!

Here's Lars, aka. Mouthansar (pronounced 'mootanza' in case you ever wondered). I'm 54, from Denmark and live on the West coast of the island Copenhagen is on - very close to the Great Belt.
My first boat was an Optimist at 11 later replaced with a Flipper dinghy, before I graduated to yachts.
The last 6 years have been very regatta intensive - mainly on mid-size X-Yachts.
On the side I take care of an H-Boat for my yacht club. I also tend to a Feeling 1040 for the owner, who has no time to use it and wants me to give it as much excersize as possible.
SOL is intensely competitive, educational and extremely addictive.
Keep the intros coming: It's such a joy to see the (wo)man behind the nick.

I'm from Belgium, living near Antwerp. 50 years old, married, 3 children.
When I was 7 years, I was invited by a family-friend to make my first blue-water trip on his Swan40. Sailed for 10 years with that boat, mostly in the North-European waters. Later on I jumped into ocean racing and sailed twice around the world. Was involved in the Belgian Whitbread around the world race (Rucanor) and was owner of a VO60 (Tokio) until 1999.
Last year I participated in the ARC with a Beneteau 50.

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!

Tasmania to Kamchatka 2026

Welcome to yet another all-new route. Tasmania to Kamchatka, part of our Ocean Championship and also the third leg of the ROW (Round the Old World) series. Be aware of the obstacles on the way, likely to split the fleet. It's like X:mas to X:mas, crossing the same waters, navigating the same archipelagos. This second race of OCQ2 2026 will be sailed in our revised 'version 2' Imoca 60 Foil. Race #2031
