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 ……..

- 2025 RANKINGS BY NATION
- Board » Sailonline Yacht Club
-
The Rankings by Nation (INDIVIDUAL) will continue in 2025 with no change vs 2024.
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 2025 SOLing !!

- Cappy is sailing in peaceful waters
- Board » In memoriam
-
During the sad moments when we became aware of the loss of Tyger , we also found out that one of the oldest and most iconic SOLers had left to a better world ……Captjack1942 …….aka ….Cappy !!.
Jack was 82 years old and spent the last 17 as very active member of our Community.
When Cappy was steering his boat, he was always willing to chat with everyone, and always gave the impression to be well acquainted with everyone, even at first chat…….
Very few guys are able to make you very comfortable even at early stages of communication ! …Cappy was one of those few.
Evidence of the above is the fact that the Community started to call him Cappy as if that was really his name and not only a nickname……..to the extent that possibly someone would not be able to understand who the other guy was if he was called Jack , or captjack……
He was and will always be…”Cappy” …for every one of us.
A few days ago I sent over to him his 2024 Performance Certificate, without knowing that it would remain undelivered …….well …here delivery is guaranteed …and with that a standing ovation and full respect from all of us .
Thank you ……. Cappy
One of those like you with a nickname only : …….your friend … WIN

The four annual Championships will continue without change to format.
We will also continue the new system where 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.

the 3 races of each quarter - NO discards
TIMED CHAMPIONSHIP
Annual Championship
12 races (three each quarter) - 2 discards

Current Races:
Auckland to Noumea 2025

The ARCH competition is transitioning now from the Arabian Sea to the Pacific Ocean, featuring a 1000 nm route from Auckland to Nouméa. Organized by the Royal Akarana Yacht Club, the race last occurred in 2018 and was set to resume on May 25, 2024, after a lengthy hiatus. However, due to political unrest in New Caledonia, the event has been cancelled. Fortunately, those situations do not impact our virtual race, so prepare your Open 60 for another exciting adventure.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Dondra to Toamasina
Above you see a stratospheric balloon, that if only we had gribs at that altitude would get blasted along quite rapidly and predictably. Alas we just have our SOL balloon that sails rather lower to the sea and that we have crossed the Atlantic in, west to east, last year for the first time in the southern hemisphere. So much fun was had by all, that this year we will attempt the Indian Ocean, but in four legs. Another great piece of fiction, the voyages of Sinbad By Balloon not magic carpet, although you may need a bit of magic to make any progress at times. Pack your wicker basket full for your first leg of at least 2300nm from Sri Lanka to Madagascar; it’s not a picnic hamper, you could be in the air for longer than you hoped!
