2009-07-29 22:00:10 - DNF rankings
i have been on holiday and have not yet finished chicago race, i see i have a ranking DNF 363 for the race. i am going to finish the race in 4 hours or so and in the race i am ranked 374. I am not sure how this works, but does this mean that all boats that DNF get a ranking of 1 pt more than the last boat that finished, even though there are 700 boats in the race. It seems to me that if this is true, and it might not be, that it is pretty un fair for the last guy who made a effort to finish the race that all the others who dont bother come in right behind him. Surely DNF's should get a ranking of the total number of boats in the race. Other wise It would be possible if only 1 boat finished the race all the others would get a 2nd place

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your detailed report. Lets wait and see what position you will end up once across the line. It sounds indeed a bit odd that a DNF is lower then you current rank on your way to the line. We will look at it when we look into the scoring system again.

2009-08-07 02:43:36 - DNS, DNF or somehow withdraw before start?
A similar question. I am registered for the Fastnet race beginning Aug 9th. I will not be able to start the race until the next day, due to a family funeral and a 15 hr drive. Is it better to never start the race, or start way late yet finish, or somehow withdraw to save the high points?

DNS, DNF or somehow withdraw before start?

Hi

You should see your nickname here in the forum aswell... We have someone on it. NAturally you will not be punished more for DNF than for DNS.

Red Eye 2026 - Georgian Bay

Welcome to the sensational scenic Georgian Bay of northern Lake Huron, the first area of the Great Lakes to be visited by Europeans in 1615, so former SOLer A2R informed us when he designed this geometrically tortuous course of 317nm criss-cross through its island maze. Originally known as Lake Manitoulin, in 1822 the bay was renamed after King George IV after his succession to the throne. This time we’ll take the very flashy Fareast 31R, which hopefully should keep you wide awake!

Welcome to the fourth of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . This fourth race is from Stavanger in Norway into the Skaggerak to a finish off Denmark’s Aalborg and perhaps an Aquavit to toast the adventure afterwards – a final circa 250nm in Sailonline’s classic Clipper 240.

Chinook Salmon - Canada to Andreanovs


A year after spawning in the upper reaches of the rivers of British Columbia, Chinook Salmon develop the age-old urge, so familiar to SOLers, to go to sea, heading for different parts of the northern Pacific Ocean. This race catches up with a particular school with an instinctive memory for the Andreanov Islands far west on the Aleutian Islands chain, as they depart the Salian Sea between Vancouver Island and the San Juans. It’s 2200nm and we’re taking the 60ft Trimaran, in the hope we can keep up!
