    Regarding "Seat Of The Pants" (SOTP)
    Board » General Discussion
    My HATS OFF to the organizers of Golden Globe Race, starting 1 July 2018 - and to test this "no-grib-routers please"-RULE! It is GREAT!
    Since I am an bit oldfashioned, as my kids say.., I always sail only "visually", without grib-router software. It is ok. Still, in a normal race, one needs to be aware, that one sailes against machines (sol:ers tuning their grib-routers). To see how good one can get, against machines. And still be ok with that.

    (Unfortunately I might miss first leg of this race, because I will be out sailing for real.)

    Notice time for ocean type races
    Board » General Discussion
    Hi,
    I am still AMAZED by the short notice time used for especially ocean type races. For how many days was the notice for ongoing Leg 3 Australia New Zealand race out? We now see many late starters, in this race Leg, and less than usual # of participants. What is the problem of announcing a long race e.g. 1 month ahead??? It seems that only relevant and only wanted customers are the real addicts and login-every-day sailonline users.
    Cheers,
    Mange

    notices of race
    Board » General Discussion
    Hi!
    I think it is unfortunate the the "notice of race" period is so short, for a big race like Global Challenge. I am not too much of an sailonline addict, I did not race much during last year. But during past months I did check website now and then if an ocean race was coming up. Then I was for travel for a week, busy with other things. Just to find later I was 4 days late for this start! What happened? (Look now at for exampel rumskib also.) Why not notice this type of race for a month at least? A large fleet I guess all want, no? Best regards! Mange

Natuna Sea Race 2026


At 4.0N 108.2E lies the island of Natuna Besar, Great Natuna, surrounded by at least 154 islands, of which 127 uninhabited, Indonesia’s Natuna Regency, and all around this archipelago, the Natuna Sea, bordered by Borneo to the east, the Java Sea to the south, and the Malay peninsula to the west, and extending north to cross a disputed international border with China into the South China Sea. And it’s a border that matters, there’s gas here! But why worry, let’s race – 2050nm in our goo’ol’ Open 60s in between the production platforms, prowling destroyers and submarines.

Panama Canal 2026


Sailing in the Panama Canal isn't the best idea, and organizing a race there is simply impossible and unfeasible IRL. In SOL, we have slightly different rules, so why not? A 36nm, frantic race awaits us, and the fast Dehler 30 OD will help us navigate the Panama Canal with grace.
