2007-12-26 22:21:42 - boat sails one timestep then turns 180 deg the wrong way
Trying out the winterchallenge but can't make it work. Seems that after given a command it only works for one timestep...
Difficult to race under these conditions ??

Seen this in the log, don't think it's related but looks bad

This type of behavior may occur if you collide with land. Zoom in quite a lot to make sure that you do not hit land. Let us know how things turn out.

Susan Hood Trophy Race 2026

Lake Ontario Offshore Racing (LOOR) welcomes racers to Sailonline’s virtual version of their annual Susan Hood Trophy Race. This year, this pleasant weekender on western Lake Ontario will be of about 60nm in length, and online for convenience will start and finish at the Port Credit Yacht Club (PCYC). At or before the real-life Skipper’s Briefing a decision will be made to race the course clockwise (course Delta) or anti-clockwise (Echo). If there is time we will match this online. As before, the race is the first of two that will count towards a special Sailonline's LOOR Series medals, but this year we sail in Jeanneau Sun Fast 3300s. Bon voyage!
