2012-03-05 15:07:58 - Logging in as SOL
I have looked all over the site and can find no way of logging in as SOL so that I may see finishes of the "practice racing". Whenever I try, I am already logged in as 'Rod', and can find no place to log in as anybody else.
It says I can log in as 'guest' as well as 'SOL', but I can find no place to do that either.
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Thnx. Only wanted it as a technique for viewing the finishes of practice races. I am reaching the conclusion that the only way to get an accurate finish order is to take a screen shot just prior to the finish of #1 boat, and then measure the distance of each finisher from the line, but this will work only if all the boats are on the same course...and therefore the same speed.
Could the programming be extended to give a special client (or whatever) just for the practice races where the number of boats is usually less than 25. A one second time interval would be equally nice with all racers moving at the same time.
I realize that SOL is intended for ocean racing, BUT it is being used regularly for these 'practice' in-port races, before the main event starts.
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Best to use another browser. If you normally use FireFox, or Internet Explorer, or chrome...use another to log in as sol.
There are several, I normally use chrome, so when I want to log in as sol or guest, I open IE or FF or Opera. All are free and an easy download.
This way you can keep your log in in your usual browser, and view any race as sol or guest.

The Vineyard Race 2026


For the 16th consecutive year, our SOLers are invited to tackle this iconic 250nm overnighter. The classic route charges out through the sound, leaves Buzzards Bay Light to starboard, rounds Block Island to starboard, and heads home.

This year's weapon of choice is the Beneteau First 47.7. A proven performer since its 2012 SOL debut, this Farr-designed cruiser/racer excels at leading real and virtual handicap fleets. Success will demand sharp tactical navigation, so watch the polars closely to conquer the sound's shifting winds!

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!
