2013-11-27 23:38:21 - Arbitrary changes to course
I have been finding that my course has been changed without my participation a number of times during this Leapfrog race. I set a TWA course, switch off my monitor screen, and return to it some hours later, to find the notice of the new Wx. When I check my course, I find that I have been turned by about 90 degrees, and have lost places etc.
Please check this over the last several hours, and determine if I actually gave such a command.
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

The data Rod need is "What command caused the course change, when was it sent, from where was it sent". I'm sure Rod already knows that the course change happened, and when it happened, but not why. I don't think hmm's site will help Rod.

Rod: Are you sure it wasn't a forgotten DC? Could there be someone else that hit a wrong button on your computer? Are you sure it wasn't a wrong command from your side?

Not sure of anything, but examine my course back a few hours and you will see unexplained squiggles... It may be due to the timing of clicking on a new course, but not correctly, so that moving the cursor is actually changing the course before it reaches the command box. I will check my "clicking timing".

Hi Rod,

I have verified that all the latest commands in Leapfrog have come from the same computer address and none of them have been delayed.


So from server side everything seems to be OK.

Must be me then... I am adjusting my "click" speed settings so maybe will 'click' on a new course with more certainty.
Many thanks for your efforts.

The Vineyard Race 2025


For the first time since first hosting a virtual Vineyard in cooperation with Long Island's Stamford Yacht Club back in 2010, due to an operational calendaring error, Sailonline has missed the start of the real life race, the USA’s Labor Day weekend this year unusually falling across the turn of August. Silly SOL! So, a week late please join us anyway for a virtual rerun of Stamford’s iconic annual overnighter from their club line out the sound to Buzzard's Bay Light near Martha's Vineyard Island and back again, leaving Block Island to starboard. This year, Sailonline is making its magic MC 38 available to competitors, a race boat with a quirky polar that will require you to stay wide awake as you speed around the c 250 nm course, in rockstar style!

Great Nicobar to Marion Island 2025

The Adventure Continues – Leg #6 of the RWW Series.
We’re setting sail on the next stage of the RWW Series: a 4,400-nautical-mile passage from Great Nicobar to Marion Island. This demanding leg will test endurance, strategy, and seamanship at the highest level. As part of the 2025 Ocean Championship, this marks the ninth legendary challenge in the series — and one of the most exhilarating yet.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
