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 2026


For the 16th consecutive year, our SOLers are invited to tackle this iconic 250nm overnighter. The classic route charges out through the sound, leaves Buzzards Bay Light to starboard, rounds Block Island to starboard, and heads home.

This year's weapon of choice is the Beneteau First 47.7. A proven performer since its 2012 SOL debut, this Farr-designed cruiser/racer excels at leading real and virtual handicap fleets. Success will demand sharp tactical navigation, so watch the polars closely to conquer the sound's shifting winds!

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!
