Re: Magnus Olsson Memorial race

I took a quick peek at this race & even though it is a large area the Wx file (625 Kbytes)loaded over my slow dial-up ISP in short order. This is a big thumbs up, in fact if it were to be expanded one notch for extra measure I would not be adverse to a file size of 1.5 Mbytes or less as a manageable range for such a long race

Most often appending the URL following the race number with

can be helpful

For Markku Hänninen:

I certainly will defer to your familiarity with the nitty gritty of the way things work in this matter, however I was under the impression that the DTF calc used the Rhumbline distance as boats in shorter races are often placed higher who stick close to the redline

Re: Waiting for weather download

Board » Technical Support

Just wanted to chime in regarding the Wx file for this race which is listed in my Safari browser's activity window @ 5.2 Mb & it takes my dial-up connection approx. 15-18 minutes to complete on a good day with no other processes competing for bandwidth.

That being said there are existing client issues already under discussion in the Technical Forum where this can also be a symptom of those problems.

The first condition requires patience while the second can only be resolved with a proactive procedure.

Re: NY-SF start time

Board » General Discussion

Although well intentioned I agree that playing weather roulette is less than an exact science. The point is not how fast we leave the harbor but can we reach the dominant weather system in time to keep up with it for as long as possible. That being said I have no insight as to when that might be. Any further changes are sure to catch some of the fleet unaware with weeks of hard feelings to deal with. So the Race must be done as published plain & simple. Let's get on with it.

I do not have the Race kmz file but I have in the past exchanged emails with Joanne in adapting the published race instructions for use here at SOL.

Boats shall pass between

Grays Reef Light
(2009 LL No. 17775)
45.76582°N / 85.15348°W

and

Grays Reef Passage Channel Lighted Buoy 7
(2009 LL No. 17780)
45.76267°N / 85.14076°W

Boats shall leave to starboard.

New Shoal Lighted Bell Buoy 3
(2009 LL No. 17745)
45.81489°N / 85.13348°W

SOL Race configurations are not capable of handling a gate instruction between two points as described so my suggestion to:

Leave "Grays Reef Light" to Port
&
Leave "New Shoal Buoy" to Starboard

was accepted as amended.

Apologies
