2010-02-20 22:53:26 - Comparing SailingOnLine with VirtualRegatta
I'm a newby here, on SailingOnLine, and I like what I see. I sailed quite a few legs in the recent VORG and really liked VirtualRegatta's software engine. I wonder how many sailors here have had experience on both platforms, and how they would compare the two?

I have sailed in VORG and Virtual Regatta Vendee Globe. So I can say that Sailonline is much better.

I am still at virtual regattas but these are more complete.I just hope it will not overflow the robot sailing like in virtual,even if I noticed that some of top positions sailors are using robots, which is not fair.

I did all the legs in VORG on Virtual Regatta (81st overall). Sailing in wind squares and tracing corners between them is nowhere near the realism of SOL, which I consider to be state of the art. I am hoping the next VOR will be available on this platform.

Lars, your cred is far, far greater than mine. I like the feel of Virtual Regatta. But I'll definitely try SOL some more. Maybe this last race was not representative: too much of a free leg exercise...

I Like SOL because they treat non SYC members fairly.

i.e. your boat's performance is not dependent on how much money you spend.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Baia de l'Oiseau to Carnarvon


How ever shall I return to report with clarity to my Great Sultan – asked Sinbad. It needs be told this island and all its fables shall be expunged from the annals of every thousand and one night. The wind howls – and sun be none (it’s Winter, Sin’bro, ed.) – and all days from the west, but let’s launch anyway and see if we can work our SOL Balloon north as the days pass aiming for Asthralaya, where The Mahabharata tells the ancients once tested mighty weapons, about a quarter and a million qasbah away (2500nm, ed.), perhaps one month.
