If you hit ground and know about (ie SMS warning) you can use the mobile client to turn. Way better than trying to send an SMS with new course

I'm not an official of Sailport but just a quick note. To send an SMS in the volumes we're talking here would cost around 1 SEK (0.10 Euro cent) per SMS. I'm pretty sure the banners won't cover that.

For an extra charge though...

This has now been tested for 2 race starts and actually has more than one user

I would say it works.

The nature of RSS says that the items/posts shouldn't change but race notifications changes as the race is first announced, then opened, but that also works and all races is made aware of...

I recommend this for this RSS-hungry sailors out there

Re: "Real" DTG

Board » General Discussion

yes, and besides it calculates with the coordinates I've taken from the map which could be somewhat wrong.

This could perhaps be fixed but not right now

I also know that it has some weird things once ppl start to finish but that will be fixed.

Thanks, nice catch!

I have found the bug and skipper85 is now correctly calculated as 700-something

Thanks again.

Right, minor glitch

It has been fixed and now reports ranking 132 (135 official) and a couple of nm less than the official DTG.

"Real" DTG

Board » General Discussion

Hi!

You all know how that the DTG (and therefor also to current ranking) doesn't work perfect when rounding marks if you're not really close to the mark. Infact, in several races the leader finds himself to be ranked several hundred places down just when passing a mark.

In an attempt to make that better I've made a new ranking page for the third leg of SOR and it can be found at http://sailor.raven.nu/112.html

It's brand new so it might have bugs but I think it works. The distances are slighty different that the official once but not by much.

It's currently generated every 15 minutes.

Let me know if anything weird shows up.

As long as comhem works it works

As long as I'm told about any problems I should be able to get it up and running quickly

Still experimental though, I haven't even tested it with a newly announced race.

An opt-in email list that just get short announcements when the races go visible.

Another option is a RSS feed with the races, would that work?

Either would be fine. If you have the time to build it than it's perfect. Otherwise I just stared to build that kind of rss, probably finished during this week

(also another really cool new page for SOL is ongoing )

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!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER. 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.
