    Well, I couldn't drop it...
    Here's an example of how it works:

    http://www.stenum.se/sailonline

    - Latest 15 races (5 discounted)
    - I have not included the "Sailplanner-race" and the "Experimental-Venerrace".
    - All sailors are included now, should be only SYC-members ofcourse.
    - It says "DNS" (did not start), but can also mean "DNF" (did not finish).
    - I made a quick rip from sailonline.org result pages so there may be errors (a webservice would be neat!)
    - And, no, I didn't put in any effort to make it look good... =)

    Ranking systems in sailing has been up to discussion many times. It almost always falls back on the standard lowscoring system described in ISAF racing rules. Why not use it? Well tested and described (end of discussion?) and as I see it it will apply very well to SYC ranking system.
    For example: Use latest 15 races to conform a serie. Winner gets 1 point, 2nd place 2 points aso. You don't count 1 of 5 races.

    What I like with this system compared to current one:
    - Sailing IRL is not about winning 5 races of 30. It's about not making big mistakes.
    - A 5th place is worth the same for every race. It's not my fault the others didn't show up.
    - You have to participate, but if you miss a race you can still win.
    - Same system as IRL

    1. Participation is essential. But if you wan't to be in the top you can't even go on a vacation - it's a full time job.
    2. To reach the top for a newcomer, he can win every race, but he will be in the lead only after 6 months.

    Suggestions:
    1. Make a system that's allow you to skip 20% of the races. For example, maximum participation bonus is "no of races" x 80%.
    2. At the current rate of races, use only 3 months of races. (15 races!!)

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
