    2026 CERTIFICATES SCHEME MECHANICALS AND SITUATION YTD
    Board » Flag Officers » Races
    Please find hereunder the mechanicals that regulate the annual certificate scheme (there is no change for 2026).

    At the end of each month in 2026 a file illustrating the up to date situation will be posted here.

    If anyone skipper sees a note for contacting the SOL Management alongside his/her boat's name, it means that we are missing some data to fill the certificate. Please contact as advertised as soon as possible.
    Usually at the end of each year a number of SOLers have not yet provided the data to fulfill the certificate (skipper name and surname and confirmation of flag and email address for delivery). Every effort is made to make sure that everyone gets his/her annual certificate, but we need your early cooperation.

    SOL Management

    Thank you

    Board » Sailonline Yacht Club
    The Rankings by Nation (INDIVIDUAL) will continue in 2026 with no change vs previous years.

    The Rankings by Nation thread remains here in the SYC partition of the Forum because it is traditionally where SOLers look for it.

    Attached underneath you find 2 DOCUMENTS:

    One illustrates the mechanicals of the rankings scheme; the other one illustrates the mechanicals that will lead to reward the individual SOLers.

    At the end of each calendar month an up to date situation will be posted here for everyone to look at and plan improvements !

    Please feel free to comment or ask for any clarification writing to coord@sailonline.org

    I will publish here for everyone information the most important comments and clarification requests.

    THE 2026 SOL CHAMPIONSHIP NORs
    ________________________________________

    There will be significant changes, new entries and drop offs.They are all explained here:

    Three out of the four traditional annual Championships will continue without change to format (annual and quarterly). They are

    Ocean Championship – Timed Championship – Sprint Championship

    The All Round and the Supersoler Championships are discontinued from 2026.

    A new SuperBuddy Championship will be run in 2026. This series will include all the Buddied races that SOL operates in conjunction and mirroring IRL events at the four corners of the world. This new Championship is technically described hereunder, and will NOT include quarterly series.

    Re: Long time SOLer, Little Surprise
    Board » In memoriam
    Very very sorry to hear that Dale had to abandon ship……….

    True he was not “chatty”……totally wrong dear Bruce …that he was “rarely competitive”.

    I remember sending over to him quite a great number of certificates for top 10 and top 20 in Championships and series. He was VERY competitive in Sprint races, where it was a very good idea to always keep an eye on him.

    A respected competitor and a long-established member of the Sailonline Community.

    His presence and weight in Sailonline’s Community history is not going to be forgotten.

    Ciao Dale ……..

Current Races:

SSANZ Round North Island Race 2026 - Leg 3

Leg Three of our Round North Island Series, in partnership with SSANZ, keeps the pressure on! From Cook Strait, the fleet turns north for a 187 nautical mile passage up the east coast to Napier. It may look like a quick overnighter, but shifting coastal winds and the ever-lively Cook Strait demand sharp focus. In our responsive Sun Fast 3600s, a proven short-handed racer and powerful downwind performer, tactical decisions and precise timing will make all the difference!

The start time for this race may change at short notice to align with the real race. The confirmed start date and time will be announced via an in-race “L” flag message — Please monitor race communications closely.

Dyer Dhow Derby 2026


Most winter weekends, SOLer wsguerin and his friends at the Mamaroneck Frostbite Association venture forth on Long Island Sound to race Dyer Dhows, originally designed as WWII tenders. Indestructible little boats, great comradeship and serious short sharp races of 10 to 20 minutes duration. Sailonline now invites you to experience the joys of the Dhow in winter, virtually, by way of a slightly longer 14nm race: from Mamaroneck to Execution Rocks, over to the Gong Buoy and back to Mamaroneck. And if the wind pipes up to 20kn and beyond, you'll find SOL's customized polar will plane, rather than nosedive!

Welcome all to the South China Sea and a virtual chase in Cookson 50’s of the Rolex South China Sea fleet, racing 650nm – as the local red-footed booby flies – from Hong Kong to Subic Bay on the southern tip of The Philippines’ Luzon Island. Chances are it will be a fast downwind ride, so see how you can keep up with the real-life fleet which we hope to be able to follow on our monitors.

Leg Two of our Round North Island Series is where the real challenge begins. After Mangonui, our SOLers face a demanding 491nm passage around the top of the North Island and down the rugged west coast toward Cook Strait. Long miles, exposed waters, and relentless tactical choices will test every SOLer. In our powerful Sun Fast 3600s, a proven short-handed performer and true downwind flyer, endurance, timing, and smart routing will be key to success!

Iceland to the Falklands 2026

Welcome to an all-new route, the first of three Round the 'Old World' of Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. To give each leg of the ROW a bit of length we'll try to hug the coasts as little as possible, so starting in Iceland our first leg of the series, which will also be the final leg of our Quarter 1 Ocean Championships takes us 7200nm to the Falklands, the full length of the Atlantic end to end. To make sure we'll get it done within the month we'll be sailing our Maxi Trimaran.
