2011-02-18 23:24:22 - IMOCA Leg 3 won't load
Trying to log in to finish the race and finding Leg 3 will load the basic screen but not the race. I've tried IE and Firefox,cleared caches etc, etc to no avail. See attachment for what I get on screen.

I've loaded leg 4 - no problem at all, so seems to be limited to the Leg 3 race.

Any thoughts?

Cheers.

I believe the leg closed at 23:00 (just 23 minutes before you were trying).

The GO TO RACE has also been removed from the front screen.

Enjoy leg 4!

I should have mentioned that I was registered and in the race, near the finish.. I didn't think it would have been closed to those still competing...

Well, still won't load up. Can anyone else finished or otherwise, access leg 3?

Sean - Leg 3 is now closed.

SOL does like to try and keep Legs of races open, even when it would be illogical in reality (how can you sail Leg 4 and Leg 3 at the same time) but due to the coincidental timing with the start of the Round North Island race,it was just not technically possible to keep Leg 3 open longer than 2300utc on Friday.

I too am frustrated, even though it was I who closed Leg 3, because for the first time since Ijoined SOL I had to leave my boat mid-ocean. I didn't even manage to beach her!

To put in immense time and effort and concentration into one's SOLing and then not be able to complete the task is a very rare occurrence but it is also important to maintain the timeliness of an ocean race.

SOL tries to strike a good balance between reality and virtuality and is very sorry that folks have been discountenanced this time.

Hi RC,

Ahh, mystery solved. I hadn't yet been in a situation where I didn't make the finish line before a race was closed and for the life of me I couldn't work out why I could get into some races and yet not this particular one. I thought there might have been a technical issue. Thanks again to you and Jadesmomva!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
