    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 .

San Juan Islands TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to the beautiful Pacific Northwest and the San Juan Islands. The Salish Sea is home to five different types of whales including Orcas, making this archipelago one of the best places in the world to see whales in the wild. The Cape 31 is a one-design yacht originally created for racing in South Africa, which has rapidly expanded with fleets around the world. This is a TIMED race, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.

Casey Station to Neumayer Station 2024

It’s late summer now in Antarctica, the sun will still not set, but the Emperor chicks are hatched. Let’s yacht on from Australia’s Casey Station, destination Germany’s Neumayer Station! Our route takes us past Molodezhnaya Stancija, Russia’s self-styled capital of Antarctica, as well as Mirney (RUS), Davis (AUS), Mawson (AUS), Syowa (JAP) and Maitri (IND) down the full length of the continent’s east coast. It’s not much more than 2600nm, so let’s take Brazil’s Amyr Klink’s more stately and very comfortable 29m LOA Paratii 2 for this second leg of our six-leg high latitude adventure!

The Beagle in the Falklands

Having seen enough of the Cape Verdes, the Beagle sailed on into the west, and after a one-day stop off the mid-Atlantic isle of Fernando de Noronha anchored in the Bay of All Saints off the Brazilian mainland on the 28th of February. From there, the expedition very slowly worked its way onward and southward, surveying and exploring, to reach the Falkland Islands more than a year later. Notwithstanding that they only stayed briefly in the Falklands, in 2024 we will sail our virtual Beagle, a Tall Ship Class B, 470nm round and about the islands’ bays and straits, but mind the kelp forests that so impressed Darwin, don’t slow you down!

Flight of the Godwit - Wellington to Hegura 2024


Bar-tailed godwits can fly about 6500 nm without resting - further than any other known bird. They fly at about 32 knots, which means this 5000 nm leg would be done in a week. We won't be able to accomplish that, although we will sail our fast Maxi trimaran. This race is the first of three legs reflecting the migration routes of the bird, and the third leg of the 2024 Ocean Race Championship. The voyage promises to be not only a test of skill and strategy but an immersive experience in the beauty of the archipelagos of the western Pacific. Join us as we push the boundaries of seafaring prowess on this epic adventure. Let's fly like a godwit!
