Damn keep forgetting to double check that I am logged in as myself, after checking a mate's boat! But funny I should answer as ronny, he's sailed them to!
I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

You do not log in as SOL to check your friend's boat. This is abuse of the server. Use the menu on your right side of your screen. Become familiar with this menu that can almost perform miracles for you. Not least under Boats menu. Click to enjoy :-)

I am at a loss to understand 'Honesty Race'. How does it differ from a timed race such as the present "St Malo TIMED Race"?
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Same thing but in RL you have to clock yourself... hence the honesty.

Baggus how about posting your course and boat here and people can kick some tires? IRL it's a matter of identifying the likely overall conditions for a fast run and then watching the forecasts/current conditions for a match (routing can help here). Local knowledge will account for the other 75%...

@UC: Of course he asked me... Uneccessary comment mate...

@Jawik: I said I log in as sol to check a race prior to reg, then I made a post under ronny as I forgot just closing the race doesnt log you out, I need to still manually do it from home page. As I have only boat-sat twice now, I still forget occassionally to double check.

TY, I am quite familiar with how to use a website... A few occassional oversights may still happen though, especially when head clouded with flu for the past week...

Hi Baggus,
the idea of 76 is really attractive.
you will have a lot of available start windows analysed for free from high skilled sailor all over the world! lol
Of course you are the capt. so you decide ;-)

wait a second...
extending the concept....
what about a IRL honesty SOL race?
fixed course that could be sailed anywhere, anytime in the world with whatever boat....
Then we would need the ability of 76 to compare the result at the end.....
Am I crazy? yeessss!

Current Races:

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!

This second race of OCQ2 2026 will be sailed in our revised 'version 2' Imoca 60 Foil. Race #2031

Regata dell’Accademia Navale 2026

Welcome to Sailonline’s partnership with the City of Livorno (Leghorn say the English) in cooperation with the local yacht clubs and the Italian Navy, offering all the online opportunity to race the famous Regata dell’Accademia Navale - 630nm in length. Starting and finishing in Livorno, this year the race takes you the length and breadth of the Tyrrhenian Sea via little Mortorio (Mortoriotto) off Sardinia to Capri and home again to Livorno. This race also counts towards Sailonline’s Magical Mediterranean Series and the SuperBuddy title. Online, you will be sailing a Mini 6.50, to give you a match against several of the real-life entrants, which you will be able to track on-screen!
