Posted by nakedgod Posts 12 Registered at 2009-06-04 20:23:04	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. --- Last Edited by Jeroen Tiel at 2009-07-30 09:25:47 --- I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

	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?

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER.

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024

Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.

Prepare yourselves for an epic 30-day journey, navigating through the unpredictable waters of the South Seas.
