Re: Corinthian Class, IMOCA leg 2

Nice idea! I might join in at a later stage. Anyway, I already look only a few times at my boat during working hours, and decide on tactics and strategy mainly in the evening and a bit in the morning.

Should be solved. Take a look tomorrow, after the rankings update.

Thanks Jeroen. Following discussion on chat, problem solved in the meanwhile. Something with Firefox ...

Black race screen

Board » Technical Support

Hello everyone,

My internet connection seems to function properly, and the Sailonline site also.

However, my race screens are completely black. Never had that before. Am I the only one, or have others the same problem?

Regards,

Francois

Hello,

The Sailonline manual is absolutely clear: boat sitting is allowed.

Re: Routers

Board » Technical Support

I have one of the better commercial routers for the real-life boat. I did use it a few times on SOL. The great plus is that I learned to use my routing software and got used to its idiosyncrasies. The great minus is that I started to find SOL boring.

The problem was easily solved: I almost never use my routing software for SOL races anymore!

Re: correctly pass the mark but....

Board » Technical Support

Bonsoir,

Il semble en effet qu'il y ait un bug qui se produit parfois lorsque le parcours fait un 180°. Nous avons rajouté un waypoint pour résoudre le problème sur cette course. Il faut recharger l'écran de course pour voir le nouveau parcours.

A+

Schakel said @ 2010-05-25 10:43:18:

The Polar test race is not included in any of the rankings. Inexplicably, the Round Iceland race is included in both the Weekend and Week Race Championships. Clearly, I am not the only one who gets confused with these rankings.

The polar test race was started up at very short notice, and that is why I did not include it in the rankings.

The Round Iceland is a good example of a more general issue. Most week and week-end races are shorter than 400 NM and usually take 1 or 2 days, and seldom more than 3 days. Depending on their start day (week or week-end), it is easy to say what ranking they belong to.

Somewhat longer races like Round Iceland (800 NM) are more difficult to classify. It started on a Wednesday evening (during the week => week race) but also spanned a week-end (=> week-end race). I thus decided to classify it both as a week and as a week-end race. That was also metioned in the description of the race, BTW.

Any better idea?

I quite like the idea, but it is difficult to implement for SOL.

If it is easy to change the direction of the chat, I support this proposal as well. And now, I go to the IRL boat. Have a nice day!

CA 500 2024

In 2019, the organisers of the California Race Week introduced a new longer distance event for the world’s very largest maxi trimarans in town that year intent on setting new records for the TransPac Ocean Race on its 50th anniversary. This CA 500, 500nm from San Francisco to San Diego, was repeated in 2023, but this year it will be an online only event, as it is a lot more straightforward to get a fleet of Maxi trimarans out on the virtual water, than in real life.

Welcome back to the Pacific Northwest for a race that takes us around the southern end of Vancouver Island and up the west coast as we supply six lights.

This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.

Adding to the excitement, this year our SOLers will harness the speed and power of our fleet of Carkeek 40s!

Neumayer Station to Biscoe Wharf 2024

It’s Autumn now in Antarctica, the sun is permanently below the horizon, but during the day, from c 0900 to c 1700 local time, there is some twilight – nautical twilight, not to be confused with civil twilight which is brighter. The penguins are starting to huddle together to keep warm and the sea ice is growing. Time to get back to Biscoe Wharf then, before the water becomes impassible. Including a detour past Argentina’s main two Antarctic stations, it’s only 1900nm, so, although we’ll be in a hurry, we will take the bigger, better ice-classed Paratii 2 once more, just to be sure!

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
