Board » General Discussion » With draw from race - how?

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!
Bienvenido a Sol . Es un sitio con gente encantadora

Great Bear Ice Race 2025


You can fly to Great Bear Lake Airport, but if the ice is good, instead hire a pick-up truck, load your disassembled DN into the cargo bed and drive, first following the McKenzie River north, and then straight across the lake to the start of our final Ice Boat series race of roughly 100nm in length. The Airport authorities have agreed to leave all lights on, so you should just about be able to see where you are going as you zing and rumble, PL-free over the ice!

Chile Islands RTI Sprint 2025


Across the Canal Puyuhuapi from Puerto Cines on the Chilean mainland lies the Parque Nacional Isla Magdelena, and further west across the Canal Moraleda from Magdelena lie the islands of the Chonos Archipelago. Returning for the first time since 2017 we find ourselves in vari-charted waters here, with the mapping between physical islands and their names not 1:1 but rather some:some. It’s only 26nm but you could get lost! Good luck.

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!
