    Damn! I missed it. Now I'll no doubt be last in the next race ;-)

    That's interesting. It made a dramatic difference for me.

    Mobile Client - issue with Sony Eriksson phone(s)
    Board » Technical Support
    Tonight I used the mobile client for the first time on my phone. The chart display was virtually unreadable on all zoom settings, making the client impossible to use. By the time I could get to my laptop my boat was already way past the mark and I had to double back - losing over 15 miles and a lot of places.

    After some trial and error I found the problem. In my Sony Eriksson W810i phone there is an option in the Advanced menu (only available when viewing a webpage) called 'Smart-Fit'. This is turned on by default. Turning this option off fixed the problem. This had not caused problems before with other webpages so I don't know why it should only affect SOL.

    I hope this info can be of use to other people with the same phone (and maybe other Sony Ericsson phones).

    I had a bit of a rant in the chat room earlier. Apologies for that but I felt so annoyed at the time.

    Thanks for the link. I didn't know about that!!!

    The old placings in the Orno race appear, then disappear, then re-appear, then...

    "there will not be wind enough to come close to the best times in either race till sometime Wed., June 24."

    I would echo that.

    I would disagree with leaving timed races open indefinitely though. At the same time I think the time/date that timed races will be closed should be announced right at the start, not decided arbitrarily afterwards.

    Good question - I was wondering the same thing. In the Orno race I have raced three times so far, finishing in #209, #89 and #52. For some reason #52 is not showing up anymore.

    Edit - Now #52 *is* showing up! What's going on?

    Edit again - Now #52 has disappeared again!!!

Rapallo to Nador 2026


Welcome to Liguria’s Rapallo, there where Zarathustra spoke - at length - to Nietzsche, for our first race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil. A number of our races in this new Magical Mediterranean series will be partnership with famous real-life races, but this first race is pure fiction - 780nm in refurbed IMOCA 60s, past or through the Balearic Isles and on into the Alboran Sea, to a finish off Nador on the Maroc Mediterranean coast.

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Guam to Ouvéa


The third race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us southeastward now down the Pacific, from Guam’s Apra Harbour at 13.5 degrees North, back across the Equator to the glorious New Caledonian resort island of Ouvéa, on the edge of the Tropic of Capricorn at 20.5 degrees South. It’s 2400nm, and there’s more than a few other islands in the way, so mind where you go in your Ocean 50s. Race #1981
