2011-02-22 08:47:16 - SOL Flag for RL Racing
Hi all,
since i'm planning to do my first RL race as skipper, i'm wondering wether there is a SOL flag one can fly, and since SOL is my only YC, if i can enter SOL as my Yacht Club in the forms...
(Yes, i've seen, there are Tshirts, caps an bears, but since spreadshirt offers no flags, i'd have to copy the sol emblem and cut&sew my own flag)
happy sailing

I don't think there is a SOL Flag at the Moment, but that may change pretty quick if the gods consider a demand in that. ;-)

The question if you can Start as a SYC-Member is a bit more difficult...

Most Races are held by Yachtclubs and most of these YC's are members of the ISAF (International Sailing Federation). So most Races are held under the ISAF Rules.

One of these rules is that the Skipper has to be Member of an ISAF-Club, although this Rule may not be forced on all races, specially on smaller Ones.

As the ISAF has no Department for virtual Sailing the SYC is probably not a Member of the ISAF and i'm pretty sure there is no chance to change this at the Moment.

So being a SYC-Member is not sufficient to meet the ISAF-Membership-Rule in RL-racing.
I would suggest to ask if this ISAF-Rule is forced before entering a RL-race or considering to become a Member of an ISAF-Club to meet this Rule.

Nevertheless you may fly the SYC-Flag under your portside-Spreader, as there are no limitations what to fly there.
You may also enter the SYC in the Entryform as an additional Club or if the Rule isn't forced.

Yes, that's the case here too, the race will be the 'La duecento' the YC is the 'Circulo nautico PS Margherita' http://www.cnsm.org/ and the ISAF Rules for offshore Cat 3 apply.

I'll ask if the Skipper YC rule is enforced...

Current Races:

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!

Andaman Islands PYOC 2025


The Andaman Islands are an archipelago, made up of 200 islands, in the northeastern Indian Ocean. Together with the Nicobar Islands to their south, the Andamans serve as a maritime boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west and the Andaman Sea to the east. These waters will be the theater of our next 240nm race in the ARCH 2025 series. Which one you choose depends only on you, i.e. your Elan 410 sport will leave the Andaman Islands on the starboard or port side.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
