2012-03-10 15:13:02 - Congratulazioni to WIN - Perfect Score
I have only been on SOL since the middle of 2009 so, correct me if I am wrong, but I think WINSTON_4 might be the first SYC Member to lead the SYC Ranking with a perfect score... i.e., max top marks in the current top races that are used to calculate rank.

Click here to see what it looks like!!

V V well done WIN!!!

Obviously, the Iceland TIMED Race is still running so this perfect score may not last very long, but for now I think it really is an excellent result and deserving of publicity!!

Yes truly an awesomely consistent performer!

I can say from experience now - many probably do not appreciate quite how difficult it is to win a race on SOL (especially when WIN is racing ;-) )

So to have 33% win rate over 30 races is simply phenomenal!

What do they put in your coffee over there in Italy?

All Hail the SOLer named WIN
His racing is all without sin
He’s the best of the best;
Ahead of the rest.
…now would someone please slip him a gin??


Positively amazing and not likely to be reproduced by another.

Bravo Zulu!!

This is really an amazing achievement.
Winning races here is so difficult, every race is different and the competition is outstanding.
Winston, my sincere congratulations!

I only hope you will not get bored and stick around for a while so we all can learn a thing or two about sailing tactics.

RC ;)

Thanks for this very nice gift. Without your fantastic work in organizing the racing this result would have not been achieved.

ITA ;)
Thanks . I perfectly remember you did 11 at one stage. I can say for sure that I never aimed to beat your record..It just happened by itself.
Remember that I will never be your competitor....only your ever since wingman...;)

Aaron ;)
Thanks....I see in your words the hidden comment ( take a break !! ahahahahah ) .....I will surely do....
btw : it is not 10 on 30....it is 10 on 25 LOLOLOLOLOL

SP ;)
when I read your poetry I felt like really entering the hall of fame....thanks :)
FYI though .....I am not the best of the best ....Ask around...you will get those 2 to 5 names who have been/are the real best of the best .....

BUT
you needed a rhime !
it' ok for this time !

;) ;) ;)

Amazing performance over the last year. Congratulations. I'll be over the moon if I ever win one.

I've been looking at all the results for the races recently. Excluding the timed races, WIN has won by far the most at 36. Then brainaid (24), ita10267 (17), 76trombones (12) and jepsom (11). They are the only SOLers who have more than 10 wins. 55 have won a race. 30 have won more than one.

======================
No I did not intend to say you should take a break...!!

It adds quite another level to the race to try and win when your are in it!
The 2 races I have finished ahead of you (and also Turkey where I finish just behind) have probably been the most rewarding races I've done on SOL! (especially the one both you and ita were behind me ;-) )

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
