    Hi Bimmer,

    What is the .vmg files? And how do I open those files?

    I know that the .csv files are used by Qt, but I don't know what the .vmg are used for.

    Thanks,
    Antonio

    I just noticed that we now can get a boat info with a profile, a picture, the polar AND a list of all the races the boat was used here on SOL. All this summarized on a single page PDF.
    How clever, and interesting information to have.
    To whoever came up with this idea;
    Thank You !

    One of the beauty of SOL is it's simplicity. These rules are very simple to understand and simple to follow.
    Well done.
    Thank you all involved in running this great platform.

    Hi IANDOG,

    During practice the finish line does NOT stop your boat.

    Newport to Bermuda Race

    We have sailed this traditional race twice on SOL with the last one just finished.
    I am sure it was a painful experience for the ones caught by the blue arrows, the so called Bermuda High.

    For some it was a delightful race, but I am sure that for everyone it was an intrigue and demanding experience.

    The real life Bermuda Race is sailed every two years, next on to be in 2016. Over the many years of existence, there was fast runs, very fast runs, slow runs and painful runs but always very interesting.

    I would like respectfully ask the Sailonline Race Committee to consider including this race on our racing calendar, once every two years, always starting on the 3rd Friday of June.

    Thank you very much,

    I would like to thank all podium sailors who take time to write race reports.
    I don't remember when this trend started, but it is fascinating and instructive feedback reading.

    Thanks mates,

Newport Bermuda Race 2026


The 636-mile Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet and the Sydney Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. First raced in 1906, now in its 54th biennial, the Race can again also be participated in online. In real life, the race is open to entry in four different division – Double-Handed, St. David's Lighthouse, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, and Finisterre Division – which in the past we have also offered online. This year, however, our online race will be all-in one-design in silky swift Club Swan 50 yachts, so that your results can count towards SOL’s SUPerBUDdy title, whilst hopefully still giving you a chance of overall line honours against the fastest yachts of the real-life Gibbs Hill Division, especially if you can find some forecast winds that don’t quite work out that way on the real water!

Thessaloniki to Port Said 2026

Welcome back to the Eastern Mediterranean for the fifth race of our Magical Mediterranean Series. Only marginally less unlikely to be ever raced in real life during SOL’s lifetime than our previous race from Tobruk to Iskenderun, this 710nm race takes us from Greece’s ancient northern port of Thessaloniki through the Aegean island maze, south east into the Levantine Sea to a finish in modern Port Said, in splendid Swan 65s!

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2026

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited again to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.
Our online version of the race will be a TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto try again after finishing a run. You will have two weeks to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
