Re: BALTIC WX UPDATES

Board » General Discussion

I prefer to stay with Baltic 12 hour forecast. Bigger differences between weather after 12 hours make it interesting. It would be pleasant to have weather delivery on time. Pity that time of weather delivery is out of SOL hands.

Re: CHANGES TO NOR (Notice Of Race)

Board » General Discussion

RainbowChaser please do not suggest anything more demanding for your admin work (such as setting reminder to add NOR link ). Keep it simple. Publish NOR link with race.

+1 to any notification of quite rare NOR changes.

My suggestion:
Highlighted alert should be added just under race name in race info in case of NOR change. Something like "NOR changed at YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM UTC".

Re: Mark rounding

Board » General Discussion

Believe me or not:
I did not have intention to brake any known rule.
I was at lead at the mark and just one boat was within striking distance. My move (within SOL rules and outside ISAF) did not help me past any boat.

If you believe, that while being in the lead I broke unwritten rule from IRL race sailing intentionally and dishonest myself within SOL community for just another win, feel free to judge.

Thank You for education about ISAF rules. I will apply ISAF rule for my future rounding whether will be enforced by server or not.

I would like this kind of incident and personal suicide could not happen to others in future and their learning curve would be much easier than my. To eliminate future incidents we should appreciate value of 76Trombones input to this case.
It should be helpful update code for mark rounding (as stated) as I believe automatic rule enforcing is necessary. Because solving protest by committee would waste time of all participants. This time should be used for much useful thing (such as development of SOL ). Another step is to update rules in manual.
Until rules enforcement will be updated, it should be helpful setup races with knowledge of current limits of server code.

Best regards

Re: Mark rounding

Board » General Discussion

As I said earlier in the chat:

"I am apologize for die hard sailors, but my move was within rules of SOL."

"From manual and game behavior:
I have a understanding, that rounding rule is when accessing mark. So when mark is marked as rounded, you can deal with next mark."

Hope my move, which was forced by defending position within SOL rules, will help to advance SOL rule closer IRL rules. So people who never sailed race, as me, can be educated about IRL sailing racing rules.

Thanks to All who tried to understand SOL rules and published their opinion that my move was legal.

Thanks to bushing All others.

Have a great time IRL.

Re: USA boats without weather or fleet

Board » Technical Support

From my observation:
Server troubles were at 22.6.2011from at least 0:50 to 2:00 UTC.
Web client did not download. Mobile client worked (without map) and Brainaid site was able to update navigation data and fire DC.

At 3:30 UTC (may be sooner) Web client downloaded correctly.

Jakob's Birthday BBQ Race 2024

Sailonline had two founders and Jakob, the more senior of the two, has his birthday in April which we always like to celebrate with a race through the Stockholm Archipelago from Revengegrundet Lighthouse to his mooring at Baggensfjärden. Traditionally also, like other celebrations this time of year, this feast has been “moveable”, so on this occasion we will be racing on a Wednesday in one of our latest high-performance 40-footers, the Carkeek 40. Please join us then for this always tricky 30nm race. Grattis på födelsedagen Jakob!

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!

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024

Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.
