@ cal sorry darling for the joke!!!! you tempt me lolllllllllllll now you know!!!!!!!

MO-PAYEPAYE
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
Right now in the top 10 ranking I garantee that 5 of us ( maybe more)are not using routers!!!!!!!!!!!!
MO-PAYEPAYE
You are right! I do agree with you kath!

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.

The sea is lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to sail before I sleep, And miles to sail before I sleep.
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.

Current Races:

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
