    Well said, hmm, and thanks for the link to the tools page; I, for one, was not aware until now checking them out.

    We owe a lot to Aaron for his efforts - I just wish there was some banner with his name on the new client!!!

    Is there a key on this site to all the flags for the members. I would love to be able to identify and learn them. Thanks, Moongirl

    I did my own math. My lowest 7 races put me at total 421, which would have been #32 in club ranking, 3rd highest American. Now I feel better! Fair winds all.

    So it's really true that the only way to find out your standing in the ocean race is to be a member? Are non-members included in that standing - if not then it's an honest ranking. I'm sorry that I cannot afford the money right now, but it sounds like even if I joined, it would be too late to be ranked. So in reality, whenever you are being beaten by a nonmember, don't worry because it won't count against your ranking (just phantom boats at sea). I raced all 10 of them, and I think I did pretty well overall, but I guess I will never know. I will probably not race on SOL again.
    I don't mean to seem ungrateful, because I am, but I am disappointed. I thought of the Ocean Race as one entity and that SOL would rank all boats at the end of it, like they do with individual races. Racing on SOL for the last 18 months has been the only time in my life that I have been competitive and it doesn't seem to bring out the best of me. Thank you guys for all your graciousness and good spirits. Gybe ho!

    Will there be an overall rating for the entire race? I have raced every leg, although not every inport and wondered how I rank.

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!

Roma Giraglia Regata 2026

Our eighth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil – is another buddy-up; this one with the Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . Founded in 1984, as the new Traiano yacht Harbour neared completion, the Circola since then has developed into one of the major yachting competition centres in Italy, and next to the 450nm Roma per Tutti (which SOL buddied earlier in the year), the Roma Giraglia Regata is its other headline offshore event. First raced in 2005, the 210nm course takes competitors from Traiano to a rock on the inside of the Ile de la Giraglia off the northern tip of Corsica and back to the Italian mainland for a finish in the bay of Santo Stefano. We’re racing this one in our Class 40!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.
