NZL Scotsman - thank you very much for researching this. Two additional points have now been added to the course.

This is great!

CORRECTION

hmm and robert1 have suggested that to get the optimal track for the SOL fleet so that it conforms with the performance of the VOR 2008 yachts, there just needs to be one waypoint E of NZ... so this has now been done. :-D

and

adjusted again ;-)

As SOL doesn't really handle gates but only waypoints that have to be passed always from the outside adding the NZ gate won't work that way.

My suggestion is to add a waypoint at around 36S 179E or so to make the boats go the same route as they went in 2008.

You can see how they went from here: http://volvooceanrace.geovoile.com/2008/leg5/

Carib Rum Run 2026


Ahoy, ye landlubbers and seasoned salts! Welcome back to Sailonline’s legendary Carib Rum Run, perfectly timed to kick off on International Talk Like a Pirate Day, 19 September!
