2010-10-05 12:36:51 - maps
can someone explain why the maps sometimes are much wider than the necessary? See e.g. the Chiloe Challenge, I do not see the need to extend the map down to Ushuaia and east to the Falklands. This sometimes makes very difficult to race with mobile connections (10 min to wait for the map to load).

I propose to keep the maps reasonably close around the sailing area (especially when they are detailed).

Ciao ita - your wish is my command!!!

Please refresh your screen :-)

P.S. Where possible we try and set up as few maps/weathersystems but sometimes the size of the course is way overlapped by a pre-existing map/system, as it was in this case. We have thus created a new system. It was done a little while ago but we had to wait for the weather update before activating it.

oh yes! lots of strategical option on the atlantic coast of argentina while sailing on the pacific side of Chile!!!

my point is to keep maps on a reasonable size (i.e no point to extend a mediterranean map to spain if you are sailing in greece). moreover i was not mentioning the mobile client but mobile internet connection.

hoo, hold your horses, Ita :))
As you certainly have noticed, the maps are already limited, compared to last year. Well I did ;)

But your right. I didn't read your post carefully enough. Sorry

yours

yup, I noticed too.
Nevertheless, in the Chiloe regatta the map was really too extended (and so the weatherfiles).

I apologize if I stated my point with too much energy :)

Over and out..

The Vineyard Race 2025


For the first time since first hosting a virtual Vineyard in cooperation with Long Island's Stamford Yacht Club back in 2010, due to an operational calendaring error, Sailonline has missed the start of the real life race, the USA’s Labor Day weekend this year unusually falling across the turn of August. Silly SOL! So, a week late please join us anyway for a virtual rerun of Stamford’s iconic annual overnighter from their club line out the sound to Buzzard's Bay Light near Martha's Vineyard Island and back again, leaving Block Island to starboard. This year, Sailonline is making its magic MC 38 available to competitors, a race boat with a quirky polar that will require you to stay wide awake as you speed around the c 250 nm course, in rockstar style!

Great Nicobar to Marion Island 2025

The Adventure Continues – Leg #6 of the RWW Series.
We’re setting sail on the next stage of the RWW Series: a 4,400-nautical-mile passage from Great Nicobar to Marion Island. This demanding leg will test endurance, strategy, and seamanship at the highest level. As part of the 2025 Ocean Championship, this marks the ninth legendary challenge in the series — and one of the most exhilarating yet. The race will be contested aboard the Archer 78’ ketch, a vessel built to push sailors to their limits across the vast Indian Ocean.
