    Things you would not have done without sailonline
    Board » General Discussion
    The sailonline community are a fine helpfull friendly group of people from around the globe, in many cases its gone way past online friendship and turned into personal friendship and ship mates in real life races and pleasure sailing. This brings me to the reason for this post.

    What would you never have had the chance to do without sailonline.

    For me theres a long list of things, one that springs to my mind is, I would never have woke from a deep sleep with Gilles foot under my nose :-), Strange but true.....

    Anyone like to share there (would never have done's) with us ???

    Thanks hmm for clearing that for me, only I finished Lake Winnebago race 4 am Sunday morning and the race closed Monday but SYC still does not show these results, I hate to complain but it keeps happening, I know its not that important but its the first time I have had a shot at getting high up the ranks. Sorry for being a pain.

    SYC rank update.
    Board » Sailonline Yacht Club
    Hi, Im sure one or two of the committee are getting bored of my same question. But I still do not understand the update of the SYC ranking.A couple of people say it updates 24hours after race first finisher someone else said after race close. Please will you clarify how and when it updates. Thanks.

    Cowes - St Malo
    Board » Flag Officers » Races
    I was wondering why the Cowes - St Malo race result is not on the SYC ranking. Im sure it was during the race. And I thought it was a syc ranking race
    Thanks .

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.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - St Helena to Cape Verde


The fourth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us out of the Pacific into the Atlantic for a 2200nm race in Judel Vrolijk 62’s, from the desolation of St Helena, there where Napolean Bonaparte saw out the end of his life, to the even greater desolation of Fogo in the Cape Verde’s.
