Re: RIP Yachtyakka - Steve Alloway

Board » General Discussion

Those of you who know me well also know that these news find me …..speechless ….
Firstly disbelief ..and then anger takes over and wins by far…then need to find a breakthrough …and fast !!

Been thinking a lot of the guy who sent me with enthusiasm an article containing an interview he made. It was August of 2009 , almost seven years ago , and Yakka interviewed famous and unbeatable Brainaid immediately after one race ( Dieppe ) when he finished “only ” second…..and thinking of that big gift Steve made to me ( almost unknown at that time in SOL ) , I finally got the grip on the breakthrough…….: it is ALL about ….” Fighting “.

Being a yachtsman he learned that in life as well as on the sea neither winning nor participating is the key…....the key is "Fighting"....fighting through with passion , convincement and determination till the finish line . Those who can only win do not accept a defeat ….those who always fight always win , even when they lose . Why ? …because on the finish line the hats of the true yachtsman always go off to salute a generous , relentless , tireless …..fighter .

The words of Steve’s daughter are telling us the kind of high quality fight he did put on till the finish line ….and make ALL our hats to go off as one .

Hurray Steve ! …and thank you for showing us the only possible way to win.

A SOL race will start shortly , and it will be 0100 am here at the other end of the world .

WIN will virtually fly your flag in this race as gesture of respect and friendship.

2016 SMPF SCHEME

Board » Sailonline Yacht Club

Hi ALL
I am here introducing you to one of the new topics of 2016 : The SMPF scheme.

SMPF stands for “ SYC Membership Pay Forward” , and will enable once a month a NON SYC member to become SYC member for a full year , courtesy of one active Club member or the Club itself.

It has happened once in 2015 : one SOLer , who is also SYC member ,and wanted to remain incognito had the idea to donate one SYC annual membership to the top finisher NON SYC member in the VanIsle race . The prize has been won by super famous SOLer “smo” , who not only was the first NON SYC member on the finish line , but also won that race.
The SOL Management Team has taken the successful idea on board for 2016.

The first SMPF race will be UP Helly AA , starting on January 26th , and the SYC membership will be sponsored by the Sailonline Marketing Department. The race and Sponsors program for the remaining 11 months of this year will be released as soon as possible.

The prize and prerequisites : one Race per month either chosen by the membership sponsor or in default by the SRC will be selected where the first yacht to finish, whose registered skipper has not been an SYC member for SIX months prior to the start of that race, will win an annual sponsored subscription to SYC from the date he completes that race.

In 2016 the scheme is only on trial basis , and therefore sponsorship is not open to all of you at this time, but , should any one active SYC member want to participate , even if he/she has not received the personal invitation letter that I have sent to very few , will be very welcome to the list of SMPF sponsors . For queries and declaration of interest please write to :

coord@sailonline.org

Depending on the amount of interest that will be generated within the SYC members community , the frequency of this race sponsorship might be reviewed.

Please stay tuned on this thread for more news on the scheme.
