    Re: OCEAN CHAMPIONSHIP RACES
    Board » General Discussion
    Hi, here my 5 cents.
    I agree that duration should not be less than 3 weeks so to avoid getting full routing from the very beginning until finish line. This might come from the mix between boat, lenght and average winds. I like races where we have to take bold decisions on which route to take and where we have multiple routes possible. I believe landmasses well placed are very helpful on forcing decisions on which direction to take. The last Christmas2Christmas was e nice case where we had to take a decision right at the start, mine was wrong and wrong and wrong but I liked the race. Also the Melbourne to Osaka with the Solomon in the middle forced us to take decisions on which canal to take (here I made a good mistake that sent me on the right way).
    Would be also interesting to have 2 or more boats possible for the same race. This might also result in races with boats spread around with, hopefully, strong fights for winning the race until the end.
    Most important: THANK YOU to all the people designing the races and taking care of all the other aspects. We can improve but there is a solid work done in the background! Sometimes races might not be perfect but the work done is huge and I am always happy to race in SOL.
    BV,

    Re: In Memoriam - Rob Neilson (Tyger)
    Board » In memoriam
    I met Tyger so many times in SOL that it feels really painful to write these lines. There are some SOLers who stands up from the fleet and Tyger was one of them. During races, ocean in particular, I always kept an eye on Tyger to see and learn about best routes. He had a fantastic touch and was always in the top positions.
    I remember in a race I was lost in the middle of nowhere with the fleet far ahead. I spotted Tyger passing near by and I just had to follow his steps to get back in the fleet.
    I heard something about health problems affecting Rob during the last Hobart2Sydney but it seemed everything was under control. Then during the Cape Horn to Olon Tyger went adrift and the terrible news came up.
    Now I am blessed by having the honour to bring Tyger to the finish line together with SCARABOCCHIO, WRmirekd and Dingo.
    Hey Rob, I hear you! You're laughting from up there seeing my poor performance in steering your boat. I'm sure you would do much better!

    I only knew Tyger, never been so lucky to meet Rob in person.

    Fair winds Rob/Tyger! I miss you

    Hi,

    I still have no access... did try all the tricks mentioned.

    I have latest Chrome with updated player, did clean cache (both), enabled pop-up...

    'UN VA UNA S**A NULLA! :-)

    Did try IE8 and firefox with same result...

    Am I the only one? if so enjoy the new version otherwise "maybe" it's not so fair to have part of the boats with such an amazing set of tools....

    Admin excluded ;-)

    p.s. did try to download Safari, it seems they have problems so I cannot download!!! Maybe better I try again tomorrow at 17:17 ??? :-(

As the name implies, the LO300 is a 300nm offshore race across the length and breadth of Lake Ontario, from and back to Port Credit YC. Once again, as is our wont on Lake Ontario, a fleet of Beneteau First 36.7s is being made available to virtual racers. There is an overall prize for the SOLer who best bosses Lake Ontario over the two races hosted by Sailonline, this 300 and the Susan Hood raced back in May; so, let the competition be fierce!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
