	My feeling is that any irl yacht club would promote participation, so I don't have a problem with that (although it probably works against me).

	jakob said @ 2008-03-10 19:27:46: After a race, the winner gets 1000 points, last place gives 1 point. When a race is 30 days old the ranking points from that race is starting to fade out. After 12 months (to eternity) the race gives only 5% of the original points. Total ranking points is calculated as the sum of all races participated. The ranking is only processed about one time per week. Note: The ranking system is preliminary and is subject to evaluation. /Jakob Guys isn't it an idea to make the nr of points dependent on the nr of entries per race? As the more entries the harder it will theoretically be to win.... rgds Frank

	Please, I want a limit on the "participation bonus points", like 1000 points (20 races). I like the rankings now (obviously , but as we are very even on the top, one missed race would mean giving up several placings... Also, it is a bit funny, that in a race with less participants, the points difference between subsequent placings increases. For instance, if a pair mixes 1-2 finishes in two races, that who wins the race with _less_ participants gains an advantage in points.

	Dear Laiska, It is hard, lonely and cold on the top I guess. As much as we really appreciate your tricky situation and fully sympathize with you I am afraid that we cannot help you at the moment. However, since your case is so strong and moves us at heart we will discuss your suggestion in future revisions. Regards Jakob ...one of the guys behind the game...

	Thanks Jakob, I knew you would understand my delicate situation. And appreciate my needs to rest once in a while... .

Sailonline’s 15th Birthday Balloon Race
Sailonline offers a huge variety of boats to sail in. One of the more unusual ones has got to be SOL's Balloon, which was polarized by past SOLmaster 76Trombones. Notably, the SOL Balloon will actually ‘sail’ in other directions other than straight downwind, although it will not 'sail' over land or beyond a 'beam reach'. Like in 2013 and 2018, we will be taking the Balloon across the Atlantic from St. John's and 'land' it in the sea off the Cliffs of Moher.
