I went into the Tall ship race to check the course - and that put my boat on the starting line. Guess I should have logged out and gone in as guest. How can I now withdraw my boart from the race?

(I guess this has been asked before, but I couldn't find the answer.)

... and since I had meanwhile logged in as guest to see if my boat was actually at the starting line - which it is - my post above carries the name Eagle Alpha - nice, but I have no idea why. Must be the generic name for guests?

Anyway, I am the one who asked the question below - how to take my boat out of a race. I am sure I'll learn the answer soon enough. - Great place this!

You can't take your boat out of the race. Just don't set a course and it will stay on the start line. It wont be doing any harm there. :-)

Agger...

As yet, there is no way to "withdraw" from a race once registered. Your options are:

1)Ignore the race
2) Sail around merrily investigating the area whilst enjoying a cool beverage on the foredeck
3) Go TWA=0 and use #1 above
4) Find a like-minded SOLer near your boat and have your own match-race to anywhere.

Since you can be registered in more than one race simultaneously, it doesn't matter if you do or do not "retire" from a specific competition. Your rank (if you are an SYC member) will be whatever your position was at the time the race was closed. The closing date/time will be posted on the homepage.

Hope this helps.
Keep SOLing!!

Thanks you two. Will let her sit on the starting line.
I only found SOL last week when looking for stuff on navigation - getting a boating license. So I joined the race about a day late. And didn't know what I was getting into. It was a thrill! Now I need some sleep - but you'll see me in a race soon. Joined the club immediately - what a great site!

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
