Hi JB,

I do get penalized when I change the number of cranks. It's very easy to test, as you see the results instantly.
I'm just experimenting as many of you are doing ;)

'zig-zag' reminds me of BWR suggestions to sail for an hour 20 degrees to the wind... Always it was the router that within the time-limits it calculated the route could not find a tack-solution..

when I look into the qtvlm course I see many very small zig-zags where the routing comes with twa 144 and 10 minutes later twa -144 and again 10 minutes later twa 144. (gybes here)

Maybe playing with the time-setting/reckoning will help?

Viva Skovser.

Good morning.

Please, what is the:

1 - qT version you are using;
2 - relation between your "crank" and minutes (exemple:"#1" crank" = "1 minute"?) ?

Thank you.

Hi JB,
I use 5.3-7-patch2 (I know you use an earlier), but maitai suggest in his answer of 02.07 - 08.53 to put in a number of cranks so qtVlm won't be able to gybe for a specified time. 15 cranks for 15 minutes etc. I change this a bit depending of the wind speed.
Try it yourself!

Congratulation on yesterday :)

Viva Skovser.

Thank you.

After all what was said about the Portuguese team and, especially, what was premeditatedly done to CR, I’m going to abstain from any comment and only hopping someone will get an humbling lesson.

Back to qT.
Well, till I fully understand what were the qT alterations I don’t intend to make any further update. Also, as matter of reciprocal respect, I’ll quietly wait someone responsible from qT to explain.

Thank you again.
Sail Fair.

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!

Tasmania to Kamchatka 2026

Welcome to yet another all-new route. Tasmania to Kamchatka, part of our Ocean Championship and also the third leg of the ROW (Round the Old World) series. Be aware of the obstacles on the way, likely to split the fleet. It's like X:mas to X:mas, crossing the same waters, navigating the same archipelagos. This second race of OCQ2 2026 will be sailed in our revised 'version 2' Imoca 60 Foil. Race #2031
