I will share some impressions to help newcomers to get the best out of SOL. I try to learn from the best and I am still way behind though
I hope someone will share theirs too in this thread can become useful for new sailors.
The importance of SPRINT races
The peculiarities of these regattas are numerous: once you have the necessary knowledge, in these races you can start putting it into practice and see the results immediately. Additionally, you can thoroughly study wind data and analyze the routes of opposing boats in a confined space, comparing them with your own, make decisions, and almost instantly visualize the outcomes. Of particular importance is the analysis of wind direction in relation to its intensity, which helps determine the strategy to adopt. The limited duration means that the boats are always very close, and small corrections yield immediate results, facilitating understanding. Consistent application makes this learning process time-intensive, but with a couple of hours available, you can conduct an in-depth and continuous analysis of the strategies and tactics employed at sea, both your own and those of opposing boats. As a final note, routers in these regattas have limited importance; they are generally difficult to use due to obstacles or overly complex routes, providing only a rough indication with very limited value. Participating in these races to learn from the best is, in my opinion, a very effective and quick way to progress and become passionate about SOL.
Importanza delle gare SPRINT
La peculiarità di queste regate sono molteplici, una volta che si è in possesso delle nozioni necessarie, in queste gare si può iniziare a metterle in pratica e vedere subito il risultato. Inoltre si possono studiare a fondo i dati del vento e analizzare le rotte delle barche avversarie in uno spazio ridotto confrontandoli con le proprie, prendere decisioni e visualizzare quasi subito quello che si è ottenuto. Di particolare importanza l'analisi della direzione del vento in relazione all'intensità, cosa che permette di capire la strategia da intraprendere. La durata limitata fa si che le barche siano sempre molto vicine e piccole correzioni danno risultati immediati, facilitando la comprensione. La costante applicazione rende questo processo di apprendimento una cosa che richiede tempo ma, avendo un paio d'ore a disposizione, si può fare una analisi approfondita e continuativa delle strategie e delle tattiche che vengono messe in mare, sia proprie che delle barche avversarie. Come ultima annotazione, i router in queste regate hanno un'importanza limitata, generalmente sono di difficile utilizzo a causa di ostacoli o percorsi troppo articolati, daranno un'indicazione di massima che ha una valenza molto limitata. Partecipare a queste gare per imparare dai migliori è una soluzione molto valida e rapida, a mio avviso, per progredire e appassionarsi a SOL.

By Patrick70119 Valparaiso to San Francisco 2025
I sailed 1,000 miles off track,
Thought I'd gain a winning hack.
The East looked slow, the middle cursed —
So I just YOLO’d to the worst.
Now here I sit — same spot, no breeze,
With zero clue and aching knees.
Tactics? LOL. I'm just a guest...
In Neptune’s game of “Screw the Rest.” 🎲

*** Melbourne Osaka Cup Double-Handed Yacht Race 2025 ***
The wind shifts, the boat drifts
Hard to say best way to play
Keep the faith, and go straight
Wait fot the blue to come to rescue
If that will not, just practice some knots
Bowline and Constrictor while you study the predictor

Africa by Sea - Abidjan to Swakopmund
Our exploration of Africa by Sea continues. Next, it’s off to Swakopmund, on the water’s edge of the Kalahari desert. It’s a wind-blasted coast, and a venue of choice for those seeking to set wind-powered speed records. More likely than not, we’ll have to beat into it in our Steinlager II, to finally find some shelter behind the walls of Platz am Meer where there is a marina of sorts. Only 2200nm!
