    I will be sailing in this race just like I have sailed in every other race that I have participated in on SOL. SOTP has been the only way I have raced for how many years now!!!

    76 Trombones. I will agree with your theory that we are using the south pole for distances. Then, I am presently 200 miles closer to the south pole than the leader and I am still listed as 1400 miles behind them? I am sorry but your theory doesn't add up with the rankings.

    Leg 5 Volvo Ocean race
    Board » Flag Officers » Races
    I can't figure this out! I have 1907 miles to Cape Horn. NZL 2389 has 2101 miles to Cape Horn. The mileage shows that I am behind them by 1200 miles. It still shows that I have 5300 miles to go. Sorry I only have around 4000 miles to go. What is going on here? Please advise. This kind problems have happend before when crossing the dateline. Please check before the race starts in 18 hours.

    Could you please make the map a lot bigger to include Japan and countries in that area. The present course does not allow me to do the race properly, I believe

    I just went into the race and now I am being logged in from the original BoatA that I havn't been able to use since the start of the race. More SNAFU again. This is stupid that I couldn't even get a response from anyone at SOL.

    Board » Technical Support
    To whom it may concern. I registered for the Whitsunday race yesterday. I then started (Boat A) in the practice mode. Gave it some delayed commands and left SOL. Boat sailing fine. I went back into SOL about 45 minutes later and it showed an identical boat with my name on it at the starting line not moving (Boat B). Today I started on time and my boat is moving along great. At the time of the start there were two AcmeRacing boats registered in the race. I started a boat on time no problems(BoatA). Got passed some islands In 50th place and doing fine. Left SOL for about an hour. Went back in to check my boat and now I only can control the boat that hasn't even started yet back at 258 position (Boat B). (Boat A) is in 50th place I cannot get logged into. It will just fun aground somewhere. All I can log into is (BoatB) Again something is wrong here with your program. SNAFU again. I guess I will just blow this race off. Again SNAFU AcmeRacing

    Again SOL has a very big problem with finishing times.
    Board » Technical Support
    SOL you seem to have a finish position problem still. I know you don't want to fix it but I am tired of it. My boat finishes at the line and turns head to wind. OK. Boats that finish up to 2 minutes behind me by turning head to wind finish 10 seconds ahead. That is BULL SHI%. I am tired of beating boats to the finish line only to have them beat me. Can't you guys figure out how to get these boats to finish correctly. Don't give that junk about the clock and decimal seconds. That is not where the problem is. Boats that turn head to wind at the finish line are finished. Pure and simple. Boats that turn head to wind 2 minutes later CANNOT beat you by 10 seconds...........

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Samoa to Hawaii


The second race of our new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, takes us northward again up the Pacific Ocean, now from Samoa at 13.5 degrees South, across the Equator to Hawaii, famed for its breaking surf and active volcanoes, on the edge of the Tropic of Cancer at 19.5 degrees North. It’s 2300nm, so we’ll take our very steady Steinlager II. Race #1982

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!

West Papua to Oregon 2026

Our next race in our Ocean Championships is the first of a series of great natural migrations we will track in 2026. The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed marine reptile on planet Earth, and chooses to breed in warm tropical waters, but prefers to forage in more temperate habitats, travelling thousands and thousands of miles effortlessly annually to maintain this way of life. Our race will follow one of the typical trips of this turtle, from breeding grounds in the seas off West Papua to the coast of Oregon. It’s only 5900nm, so to keep up, but in comfort, we’ll follow in our Gunboat 90.

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.
