SOL measures dtg as the distance from the boat to the closest point of passing next wp, and from there to next wp etc. The closest point of passing next wp is the minimum distance between the boat and the bisector line created when drawing lines from last wp to the one being rounded and to the next. This creates a continuous dtg-calc that sometimes feels a little long.

works well approaching a wp (boats not necessarily going close to wp) but does not seem to work as well approaching the finish line (no bisector)...

Works well approaching finish-line since I then calculates dist from boat to closest point on the line.

If I could just add my agreement with some of the points raised. During races the SOL ranking is inconsistent - there is clearly something not quite right. Brain's ranking system is consistently much more accurate in terms of distances measured and where I see boats on screen/where they are in Brain's rankings. From what I understand most people seem to agree with this. Would it be possible to implement Brain's ranking system into SOL???

In some occasions Brains ranking is better and in other situations not... It is quite tricky to find a system that you would feel is correct all the time. Now you have the best of worlds when you can choose to use SOL or Brains as you like :-)

I haven´t read anything in the forums before and that is why I state this question. Have you ever consider presenting the results in the races with sailed time?
I alway miss the races with a day ( or two ). At the moment I am 150 nm back the fleet at 7.3 knots. It would to a great help if you can present the races with this, otherwise I will only sail my Albin Express.

Finally, I would say, you will have the most exact ranking when you are crossing the finishing line. Thats enough for me. IRL you hardly get more propper information about the ranking of your friends (aka opponents). So please take what you get, choose the better ranking either in brain's list or SOL's and try to sail better :-))

@ dajja: agree

Final results will always be very accurate, because they are based on sailed time since start, not geographical position.

Kalle: Does that mean that if a boat starts 2 or 3 or 12 hours late, their time of finishing is corrected to actual "sailing time" and the results are adjusted so that the late starting boat is moved up a few places?
If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

No, in "fleet races", the start time is always set to the official race start time.

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!

Iceland to the Falklands 2026

Welcome to an all-new route, the first of three Round the 'Old World' of Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. To give each leg of the ROW a bit of length we'll try to hug the coasts as little as possible, so starting in Iceland our first leg of the series, which will also be the final leg of our Quarter 1 Ocean Championships takes us 7200nm to the Falklands, the full length of the Atlantic end to end. To make sure we'll get it done within the month we'll be sailing our Maxi Trimaran.
