	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. LT

	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. --- Last Edited by Aethereal at 2010-02-22 11:27:33 --- None so blind
