	Zero: "The light winds at the last days of the leg might be nerve-wracking for the leaders" YES and places to avoid for the followers!!! Cheers If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

	Hi SOLers, I 've got some videos of VOR boats while they were in Alicante, I don't know if I can upload them, I have tried but I couldn't, so I put here some links with some small films I have made for our spanish forum, I hope you like them. http://imageshack.us/clip/my-videos/193/jsq.mp4/ http://imageshack.us/clip/my-videos/825/8ml.mp4/ http://imageshack.us/clip/my-videos/714/x31.mp4/ http://imageshack.us/clip/my-videos/405/aae.mp4/ http://imageshack.us/clip/my-videos/89/8zq.mp4/ http://imageshack.us/clip/my-videos/714/a63y.mp4/ http://imageshack.us/clip/my-videos/824/u3h.mp4/

	Race Closing Just a quick question/reminder as I can't find the thread in forum.... What is the "target" for race closing? Does it close at the beginning of the next leg, 48hrs before, after 80% of fleet has finished? I recall getting my only DNF on the leg to NZ in the last Global race but can't recall how race closure is determined. Does keeping it open prevent new active races from starting? Would suggest putting a Race Close notice on the Races page to give an idea of the time left before closing. Thanks for freshening the memory! SP

	Hi Shamrock, the current plan is to close the leg 3 at race day from leg 4. And I believe I have put that into the post on the front page. So at around 6:00 UTC the 19th just before towback of leg 4. A running race is not preventing us from running a new one, we do this all the time. But we try to keep the active number of races limited to reduce server loads and optimize for a new leg start. It also limits the races we have to watch as a admin, keeping the level of support high. I will also make several notices of the expected race close in the chat like I did last race. I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

	ShamPir - as a post script the reason you (and I and a bunch of others) got a DNF in one or more of the legs in the last Global race is because we had set a formula for opening/closing each leg to keep it as much on-the-run and non-stop as possible!

	IMPORTANT NOTICE: We have included a additional mark north of the Philippines. Please reload to see the change. We realize this has a big impact on the practice rankings atm, but we feel its important to make the change as soon as possible to allow people to prepare for the race itself. If there was a quick way to set the mark as rounded for all boats we would have done so. If you have Cape Engano on your route you have the latest course already loaded. --- Last Edited by Jeroen Tiel at 2012-02-14 12:42:01 --- I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

	Why the extra mark, this takes away all possible routes. Even on the official VOR site this mark is not mentioned. Just wondering... Arthur If you're still in control, you're not going fast enough.

	I thought so as well Arthur that is why it was not included. But more info was provided that did point towards a extra mark. I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.
