    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

    2026 RANKINGS BY NATION
    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.

    Happy 2026 SOLing !!

    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.

    Each boat finishing on the podium in a Championship race will receive a virtual medal (Gold - Silver and Bronze) on a certificate sent by email, and the winner of each Quarterly Championship (12 in total) will continue to receive the exclusive plaque, whilst the second and third on podium will receive by email a virtual Silver or Bronze medal.

    In a nutshell :

    Annual Championship

    Quarterly Championships (4)
    the 3 races of each quarter - NO discards

    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 ……..

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!
