Sloop, I totally agree with you. So filika is also heading off into the sunset. Had already in 2010 experienced that SOL became something that was not that fun anymore. I did a restart prior the last VO70 around the world race, and had a good first leg, finished top 30. But then the hollow emptiness once more crept into my attitude against SOL sailing. It is just not as fun as it used to be. This is probably due to a mixture of things: I am not able/willing to dedicate the time needed to more than participate, the router / non-router question (I am a non-router aestetics myself), a feeling that SOL sailing gets a bit repetitive, you name it.
Long gone are the days when filika was top ten in overall ranking, and it is not likely that those days will return.
Also , the IRL filika is no longer around (she was our beloved cat who finally became old and sick), so it is perhaps just logical to fade into the void for awhile.
Might be back someday for some occasional SOL sailing though.
All the best to the whole SOL community and to the SOL gods who do a splendid work.

filika - so sorry to hear you have decided not to continue SOLing, but obviously have to respect your decision. I do hope, however, you will keep an eye out for the occasional race that you enjoy(ed), and that we will see you SOLing from time to time in the future.

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
