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.

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!
