    In Memoriam - Rob Neilson (Tyger)
    Board » In memoriam
    Vale TYGER who passed away on the 11th of January at around 00:00UTC (11am local time) in his Melbourne apartment while on the phone to emergency services.

    As a rower and rugby player Robert Neilson was a natural as a grinder on a keelboat where sailing was in his blood.

    In retirement the professional marketer with a perfect radio voice served as Sail Online's (SOL) Marketing Director from 2012 to 2021. In that role he spoke daily (24/7) with Commodores, CEOs and sailing administrators at yacht clubs around the world including NYYC, RHKYC, RMYS, ORCV and many many more.

    I met Rob around 2011 in the lead up to the 2013 Melbourne to Osaka double-handed yacht race. Together we set up a virtual version of the race via SOL. Some of the competitors used SOL to help them prepare for the race ahead. SOL has run the virtual race every year since and will be available again for friends and family during this year's 2025 M2O race.

    I am sure many of you have personal memories that no one else knows, so please share them here. I will also be sure to pass those on to his family.

    Very sad news to hear.
    Rod has been around longer than I have and was a fine competitor. Especially in the practice races which he was always in when I had time to race in those.

    I am in Vermont, not far from where Rod lived in terms of the globe we raced around so many times. It was always nice to see him in races.

    Fair winds Rod.

    Look for tides, currents etc and you will find something like XTide.
    https://flaterco.com/xtide/

    Maybe this will help you to an answer for your question.

    In QTVLM look for configuration>gribs and harmonics.
    I can not imagine it to be useful in SOL. SOL routing does only use weather (grib).

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Sao Tomé to Tristan

The fifth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back south down the Atlantic from Sao Tomé on the Equator to Tristan da Cunha on the edge of the Roaring Forties. It’s 2500nm; in your path the Benguela winds and current along the south west African coast, and behind that the St Helena High stretching halfway to South America. So, mind where you go in your Volvo OD65 version 3 (based on sampled real-life race data by kroppyer)!

New Ice Age 2026 - Neumayer Station to Scott Base


For a second-half of long-distance ice-boating, we take our DNs to Antarctica for a circumnavigation of that continent in two legs clockwise, in harmony with the prevailing winds (such as there are), beginning with a race from Germany’s Neumayer Station to New Zealand’s Scott Base. It’s about 3500nm, which, if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Tall Ships 2026 - Aarhus to Harlingen


Welcome to the first of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . The course for this first race is from Aarhus in Denmark, through the Skaggerak and down the North Sea to Friesland’s Harlingen – a proper tall ship training adventure of circa 450nm, which online this year you will race in Sailonline’s classic Clipper 240.
NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

Viareggio Bastia Viareggio 2026

Our sixth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil - was planned to be our third buddy-up with another incredible Italian event, the Viareggio Bastia Viareggio (or BVR for short). Unfortunately, in-real-life the BVR has been cancelled this year. But online we shall race it never the less. It’s a quickie – a 160nm roundtrip there-and-back in classic Class 40. Have fun, and if you’re planning a BBQ, piccola isola Capraia halfway across is simply lovely!

Shetland Race 2026 - Leg 2


After the thrill of the first leg, we don't linger long in Lerwick, Shetland. Following brief but joyous celebrations, it's time to set sail back across the North Sea to Bergen, Norway, for the gripping second leg of the Shetland Race 2026!

Covering another unpredictable 190 nautical miles, tactical depth and fierce competition await. This year, we take the helm of the Linjett 33. Designed by Mats Gustavsson in 1994 for Sweden's historic Rosättra Båtvarv, this sturdy, quality cruiser-racer has been a Sailonline favourite in northern waters since 2010. Whether you are chasing victory or savoring the voyage, hoist your sails and let the journey home begin!

Newport Bermuda Race 2026


The 636-mile Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet and the Sydney Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. First raced in 1906, now in its 54th biennial, the Race can again also be participated in online. In real life, the race is open to entry in four different division – Double-Handed, St. David's Lighthouse, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, and Finisterre Division – which in the past we have also offered online. This year, however, our online race will be all-in one-design in silky swift Club Swan 50 yachts, so that your results can count towards SOL’s SUPerBUDdy title, whilst hopefully still giving you a chance of overall line honours against the fastest yachts of the real-life Gibbs Hill Division, especially if you can find some forecast winds that don’t quite work out that way on the real water!
