	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. my 1eurocent!

	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 Stu

	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..

Kamchatsky to Tromsoe 2024

Just before the light failed entirely in Antarctica, Skip Novak managed to get his Pelagic 77 out of the ice and north up the Pacific to Kamchatsky. The sun is shining (24/7) and not a penguin to be seen, and Skip believes the Norh East Passage is ice-free (sufficiently) to attempt it, so all aboard for a c 4250nm voyage from east to west across the top of Siberia, Russia and Norway to Tromsoe!
