2010-02-21 17:56:43 - IMSYC - Explanation and Apologies
Post annotated by Incognito :
This thread was moved from the category Sailonline Yacht Club.
As many have noticed, in the last part of the IMSYC my boat was steered by WINSTON.

It is not my custom to let my boat be handled in such critical situations and yesterday evening all I asked (Gilles) was to check, after the update, if my TWA which was set early in advance could lead me to pass the land tip near Gdansk. Obviously this was not the case, so WINSTON noticed, at 3,30AM that my boat was bound to crash so he took over and steered ita10267 home.

I apologize to anyone who might feel that this makes my victory less fair.

That's OK. You made all race very good, from start to finish. I don't have any claim.

Never heard that boat sitting was an issue. Happens all the time, and quite often between close competitors (which tells a lot about the SOL community :) ).

Before I joined SOL, I once steered a another boat througout a whole race. I had received relatively strict instructions. He won, ahead of me! :-O

I am even thinking of creating one day a forum category for crew exchanges ...

Regards,

Francois

I have not any problem with that.In the beginning of SOL, I had a Co-skippership wit BGosh, and my results were much better that time... just because I can't spent all my free time to SOL. I have more problems with help from routeplanners, but that's another discussion... where we shall never come to a fair solution.

Goodness ita - I have only just seen this thread and am sorry that you have felt the need to put it up. How anyone can have an issue with WIN briefly boatsitting for you is beyond me!! You get excellent results on SOL, so does WIN...I just can't see how anyone can object!!

Boatsitting is one of the decent things about SOL. I have and do boatsit for a few, all know that I am not particularly good at SOLing, but in the absence of instructions also know I will do my best for them.

Africa by Sea - Swakopmund to Maputo 2025


Time again to continue our exploration of Africa by Sea, which now takes us around the tip of the continent at Cape Agulhas and up the coast of South Africa to Mozambique’s marvellous Maputo, where we should find good anchorage in the bend of the Rio Espirito Santo (Umbuluzi) once we’ve cleared the 60m high Maputo - Katembe suspension bridge. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be glad to be sailing our comfortable and sturdy Xp-55, as we will certainly experience more headwinds!

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2025

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.
Our online version of the race will be a TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto try again after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
