	I agree with Schakel. I am one of those who hasn't sailed during the last months because of: 1. I disagree to sail in the same competition as routers 2. the amount of races to sail is to much to keep you up in the ranking "Sailing is an Art"

	We do agree that WE need time anyway to be hight in the ranking!!! But for my part I do think that it's a big stimulation to compet with some who r using routers!!!! Caus you learn a lot!!! MO-PAYEPAYE

	the discusion router - non router is a non discussion. It is very possible to do good in rankings as a non router, but it is time consuming. To my opinion at least the wiz rankings are missing.( nation+newbie) To atract newcomers and give them some competition introduce a ranking for them in which they compete 10 out of 20 races That way they make quick ranking progres against players in the same situation. Nations cup might be fun as wel. More divisions may be added but i am fine with the current ranking system

	it would be helpful if the dates of the races were listed on the individual ranking pages. then you could more easily tell which races were about to 'expire' thx

	I occasionally post a list of races most likely to be dropped from the rankings. Last one was about a week ago. Find it here: http://tinyurl.com/2f278f9 Cheers, Philip

	As a non-router I think that you may learn more from competing with routers but I think it would be much more fun to compete against non-routers only. The main reason is that when competing against routers you know that they are going the best route considering the forecast will not change. If there are only non-routers the outcome of different tactics would feel much more uncertain and the race would be much more exciting. An easy way to test this is to set up a couple of races for non-routers only. No ranking points for these to start with. Lattjolajbanladan

Round Greenland 2024

Just as Skip Novak was embarking for Kamchatsky, Amyr Klink also quietly slipped his Antarctica moorings and by now Paratii 2 has reached Reykjavik, where he invites you to join him on Leg 5 of our High Latitudes Series, a full 3650nm circumnavigation of Greenland. The course is clockwise round, so down the North Atlantic to Cape Farewell, then up the Davis Strait into Baffin Bay and on into the Arctic Ocean proper, where, hopefully and certainly virtually, Paratii 2’s special ice-breaker features will get us thorough the summer ice out onto the Greenland Sea and back to Reykjavik. Stay warm!
