I logged in as guest to "RTWR 2016 - Leg 2 - Uruguay to New Zealand".

Useless.... i tried to set course 270... after 1 second speed went from 13 knots to zero.

Great welcome for newcomers you give.. not really quite an incentive to create an account!

guests should be welcomed... not just tolerated!!!!

The purpose of the guest account is to permit someone who is undecided about learning sailing navigation on Sailonline and racing here to be able to view an open race, inspect the user interface/functionality and even read in-race chat - all of which will give a sense of what is involved in racing on this platform.

Sailing on Sailonline is completely free, so you can easily register a boatname/username and then start testing the UI/functionality for yourself.

I hope you now decide to do just that :-)

NOTE: While the guest boat may log in at any time while a race is open on the Homepage, during pre-race practice, it is also possible to log in as the sol boat (username and password are both the word sol ) and then you can try out the steering and other functions, apart from chat.

glenan - I can't take credit for doing that - the sol boat has always been available for testing during pre-race, obviously it is available for everyone to use if they wish, so you can only really use it for brief practising or polar testing. For those who are managing their rankings sometimes a quick test with the sol boat can help them decide whether or not to register their own boat in the race in question.

Happy SOL-ing!

Camel or Balloon - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!
