	RC, i just talked with Pocobueno and asked him how the finish time is calculated and he couldnt answer my question. We both want to know: How do you calculate the finishtime ? Keep on going with your encouragement

	HappyHour - I am not quite sure what you mean by calculating a finish time? We finish the practice race when we cross the line. If you log in through another browser as the sol boat (username:sol and password: sol) then you can see the boats crossing the line independently from the view you get from your own boat. If you mean how do I work out a roughly 2hr practice race then there is no formula (which is why I seem to get it wrong quite often). If someone were to use a router and run the course based on forecast winds then I imagine it could be worked out. I just figure the best speed the boat can do in each direction and then make a course to fit as best I can All very rudimentary!! Hope this helps.

	"We finish the practice race when we cross the line." Sure, but how do you know which boat crosses the line at first, second, ... Is it just the browser view or have you access to more exactly server datas. Its just a technical question.

	Hello RC ! When boats are very close to each other , due to different screen update-times of the different boats, the ranking on screen changes with every screen update in my browser. So i am lucky when my boat crosses the line due to matching screen update-time as first. Very difficult then to decide who's the winner Hope you can understand what I mean. Kind Regards Poco. --- Last Edited by Poco Bueno at 2011-08-24 10:08:53 ---

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!
