Help!!!
My boat, brewman, has rounded all marks today in the Lisboa timed race, but only the Vasco de Gama Bridge & Barrerio marks show "Rounded". The boat track clearly goes around Bugio Lighthouse, yet it does not say "Rounded"> All other marks beyond have same issue.
How can this be?
What Can be done?
Thanks, Bruce Flournoy

Hi Bruce, unfortunately until a mark says rounded, then passing subsequent marks will fail (they won't show as rounded)and, ultimately, crossing the finish line will be impossible. In a Timed event, without finishing a run, you can't begin again.

In this rare situation, in order for you to re-register to run again as you have continued far down course, all we can do is to eliminate the failed run and let you 're-register.

I will be doing this for you after finishing this forum post.

The reality of what you did is, as Smo said in race chat, by rounding initially the wrong way and not reversing to back-track and then correctly rounding the right way (which would have been indicated by the mark label showing "rounded") the rest of your track after that point is irrelevant in the server.

In order to round successfully, after passing a mark on the wrong side, you have to imagine that your track is like a ball of yarn or a piece of rope and as you go back you are gathering it up - this requires you to reverse course. Then when you get to the point before the mark you you can round correctly and continue on course.

I'll now go and "housekeep" your boat!

Hope that is all OK.

A year or more ago, I said that the DCs were failing. I want to thank the one who mentioned my intake of alcohol. And although I talked to you about the chat, my warning was not recognized. I hope this issue is solved, just ruined another regatta a DC.
Greetings to all.

New Ice Age 2026 - Browerville to Longyearbyen


Our 2026 long-distance ice-boating challenge continues with a second race in Arctic waters, now from Browerville, where we arrived less than a month ago, continuing east, back to Svalbard’s Longyearbyen, leaving Canada’s Ellesmere Island to port and Denmark’s Greenland to starboard. It’s about 2500nm, which, if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you more than a day or three, thus to complete your first (of several) online circumnavigation of the planet of 2026!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Samoa to Hawaii


The second race of our new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, takes us northward again up the Pacific Ocean, now from Samoa at 13.5 degrees South, across the Equator to Hawaii, famed for its breaking surf and active volcanoes, on the edge of the Tropic of Cancer at 19.5 degrees North. It’s 2300nm, so we’ll take our very steady Steinlager II. Race #1982

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!

West Papua to Oregon 2026

Our next race in our Ocean Championships is the first of a series of great natural migrations we will track in 2026. The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed marine reptile on planet Earth, and chooses to breed in warm tropical waters, but prefers to forage in more temperate habitats, travelling thousands and thousands of miles effortlessly annually to maintain this way of life. Our race will follow one of the typical trips of this turtle, from breeding grounds in the seas off West Papua to the coast of Oregon. It’s only 5900nm, so to keep up, but in comfort, we’ll follow in our Gunboat 90.
