These limericks saved from IMOCA-race chat during the endless journey to Cape Town.
On being a married SoL'er There was a young man from York Who thought he could do without work Then the punter was married He soon looked quite harried And on SOL he does nothing but lurk Following a discussion on the 2.nd law of thermodynamics The SOL laws of chaos and thermos Are made with the purpose to firm us Against urges to win and evils of sin But a rolling stone skipper will stir moss Foncia broke her mast I'm rooting for Anna Corbella and Caffari, I've got to tell ya They may not be first But I have a thirst For a woman who sails like a fella Celebrating Agage's prominent position There was a strong sailor named Agage Who kept all his plans on a closed page He sailed East then South But still kept his mouth And emerged as personified sail-sage On Gilles in 2nd place Off the Cape of Good Hope we find Gilles Who is filled to the gills with the thrill of chasing this fella known as Donatella and he's waiting for 'tella to spill Ode to theviking71 There was a strong fellow named Viking Who to winning had taken a liking He read the winds well How? No one can tell Now in fourth it looks like he's fighting Note to self For a Dane he did not do so badly Although East he did go rather sadly The forecast had lied The winds they all died But Mouthansar sailed on rather madly |

To Calamity reconoitering the NW Passage
Calamity searched the North West Where a South East course was the best She lurked in a corner Though not a Cape Horner She did put the map to the test --- Last Edited by Mouthansar at 2011-01-28 17:10:21 --- |

Sebensa 15:43: There was a guy called Mouth Mouthansar 15:44: who tried desperately to sail on South. stoertebaeker 15:49: Chased from highs, his boat stopps and not flys Capetown to reach he's about! ybwlopud 16:01: There was a young sailor called Mouthansar who sailed to the cape from afar he took a big chance and sailed to the east though he wasnt the first in the bar ![]() ![]() <<DO NOT USE FOR NAVIGATION>> |

Sorry, Cal. I was unaware of that - or perhaps it was Alzheimer Light. I have edited the limerick accordingly.
And here's an image of Kalle's boat. |

I am honored to be dedicated a limerick by the great poet. I bow and take my sailinghat off.
I also hope I can live up to the poetry and be the first boat to arrive the port of Cape Town. The first cold beer, is going to be marked with your name on it, Mouthansar! Cheers, V71 |

Vasco da Gama Ocean Race 2022
Point Yacht Club welcomes Sailonline to the 2022 running of the classic Vasco da Gama Ocean Race. This race is the oldest established international sailing event in South Africa and traditionally starts in the bay of Maputo, the old Portuguese colonial capital of Mozambique and finishes in Durban. Last year, and now again this year, the race was/will be from Durban to East London - circa 250nm in native Cape 31 speed machines.

Seoul to Seoul TIMED 2022
In this TIMED race designed by NZL_Scotsman, you'll start at Incheon, sail around 34nm WNW through the Korean DMZ towards the island of Yongmae-do and leave it to port, before returning to Incheon. Luckily, there is no military presence to contend with in this SOL race, though there's still plenty of islands to watch out for and not BBQ on. And once back in Incheon, you can even RE-REGISTER HERE for another attempt. Fastest round trip wins!

San Francisco to New York 2022
Cornelius Vanderbilt, who made his money - that his descendants enjoyed to spend sailing and racing yachts - by recognizing that getting from the East Coast to the West Coast of the USA was best done by rail, would have been more than a little amused to see SOL organizing yacht races over the very route by water he made redundant. It's about 13,000 nautical miles, which compares with less than 3000 statute miles by train! Six years ago, the best SOLers managed to complete the passage from San Francisco to New York in around 36 days, sailing our much-used veteran ocean greyhound, the Super Maxi 100. Time to try again, this time on the VO70. If you aim for a SOG of 18kn, it'll only take you a month.
