    Re: SYC Ranking - Different races should have different ratings
    Board » General Discussion
    I think the current ranking is as fair as it can be, as it was set up to have one ocean race going at the same time as a midweek/weekend race.But this doesn't seem to have been happening for a while.
    The weekend races don't finish in the weekend. This is part of the reason I havn't rejoined and don.t race much,maybe others too.
    Although it is great to have the buddy up races I don't think they have a place in SOL if they start at stupid times, like the current RNZ race which started at 01.00 midweek, hence i assume that is the reason that there were only about 80 boats to start on time, it could have easily been moved to the weekend.
    We have to remember that some of us have jobs to go to, unlike the sailors racing in the real races.

    Check in the morning. It will probably go into archives overnight as it only closed today.

    Glynn,
    Your points are always calculated, but when you are a non member you dont see them or go on the ladder.
    So the points you have acumulated will show up when you join.

    Hi Steve,
    Yes it is possible...What you need to do is..ie:the next race starts at 12.00 midday UTC,Set your delay for 8 hours at 03.30 UTC( dont forget to set your course and tick the delay box).Your command will go off at 11.30 but your boat wont be released until 12.00.

    Hi Guys,
    I am sure the ranking points are always there, they just arn't visable to non members.So when you rejoin your ranking will be about the same.
    Yes an reminder is sent for membership renewals.

    Hi Mage,
    The Christams race closed on 28th December at 23.00 UTC as was stated on the race discription on the home page.
    Races have a closing date, so the server can be freed up, so new races can start!!

    Colours
    Board » General Discussion
    Is it possible to change some of the colours of things on the course.
    Our own boat is Magenta,lead boat is simular. Sometimes when the lead boat jumps ahead you think it is your own boat.Marks, arrows, names and rumbline are red. In the shorter races when the fleet is tightly bunched it gets a bit hard to define what is what.Or maybe even put the arrows away from the mark, say one before and one after and the names further away from the marks. Also is it possible to make the BS and VMG numbers in the steering tab a wee bit bigger.
    Thanks

    Re: rounded and disrounded
    Board » General Discussion
    Removing the waypoint at Flannan and allowing the option to go east of the isle of Lewis might open up a new debate as you wont be going "Around Britain and Ireland"
    As Cajun said in the IRL race you have to keep all islands to starboard thus making sure the boats go round Britain and ireland as the rece name suggests.

Race to Up Helly Aa 2026

A-OI!!! The fiery spirit of Shetland’s legendary Up Helly Aa returns, and Sailonline’s annual race to Lerwick is once again upon us. Covering 383 nautical miles from Aberdeen, SOLers will tackle winter waters steeped in Viking tradition. This year, we race the classic Frers 33, a proven cruiser-racer born from the golden era of offshore racing and still a sturdy performer both on the virtual and real water. Can you master the course and reach Lerwick in time for the flames?

SAILING NOTE: Gruney may be approached from any direction but must be passed for rounding purposes as indicated on the chart.

Red Eye - Hobart Convict Run 2026

Back in 2010, one of our SOLers of the first hour, AUS_Scott76, came up with this ‘Convict Run’ out from Hobart, past Cape Raoul and the penal colony of Port Arthur, round Tasman Island, up and back down the east coast of Tasmania, to finish with a tight technical run – so Scott called it – up the picturesque D'entrecasteaux Channel, home to Hobart once again. It’s 250nm, ideal for a bit of ‘Red Eye’ in comfortable Finngulf 43’s, and if the original idea was to pick up some convicts on the way for a bit of R&R and sea air, you may always drop’m back before returning to Hobart!

New Ice Age 2026 - Longyearbyen to Browerville


Although we have by no means exhausted the possibilities of ice boating on lakes at high latitudes or high altitudes, it was noticeable that as our 2025 Series progressed, there were calls from time to time for longer-distance challenges, and so in response to these calls we will pretend that global warming has reversed and as a result the coastal waters of Antarctica and Russia and Canada have fully (and smoothly!) frozen over offering us the possibility of a 4-race New Ice Age series in our trusted no-PL DN machines. Our first leg takes us 2600nm from Svalbard’s Longyearbyen east to North Alaska’s Browerville. You’ll be a few days on the ice, so dress warmly and take some provisions; go!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Robinson Crusoe to Galapagos


Welcome to our first race of a new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, this first race taking you north from south of the Tropic of Capricorn to the Equator-straddling Galapagos, home of magical iguanas and other exotic fauna (but no mythical kings, Dory) Departing from the island where in 1704 adventurer Alexander Selkirk inspired Daniel Defoe to write the best-seller "The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe", by debarking off the unsound "HMS Cinque Ports", four months before she foundered off the coast of present-day Colombia, we will sail the 2200nm in our decidedly sounder and faster than the " Cinque Ports",
