    Re: Ranking of boats faulty?
    Board » Technical Support
    Hello!

    It is not reasonable that a boat can move from ranking #973 to be the leader boat (#1) within 15 minutes.
    There must be something wrong in the caculations of the distanse.

    regards,

    Ranking of boats faulty?
    Board » Technical Support
    As can be seen from the uploaded picture there is only 30.4 nm differense between the leader boat KarmaFish nd the #973 ranked boat R1 BOTECO1. Can you really trust the ranking shown on your boat. When I rechecked the ranking for R1 BOTECO1 sudddenly that boat is now #1 !!!

    Best regards

    Polar diagram missleading
    Board » Technical Support
    Hi!
    I am participating in the Volvo Oceean race with the VO-70 boat but I¨have notised that the position showed with the small circle in the polar diagram indicates that the boat is running with approximate double the speed than the current wind speed would provide. I think that the curvrs in the polar diagram represents wind speed in knots rather than in m/s.

    1 nt/s = 1852/3600 = 0,514 m/s.

    Anybody that agrees on my finding??

    Regards

    Hello!

    Thanks for all the good explanations to my problem. Shall I conclude this matter by saying that if I set a strait cource to the finish line(no Great circel nav. on) the system will get me there but not on the shortest way. If I use Great circle navigation I will get the shortest way but I have to update the compass cource in regular intervalls to hit the target.

    Very best regards

    Navigation problrm
    Board » General Discussion
    If I set a course on the goal line I expext to end up in the goal not 15 nm to the north. I had activated Great circle navigation and saw tyhat the course line was curved but when I
    checked why my boat was stranded I saw
    that it had sailed in a stait line not as shown on the map when a doid set the course (last rare to Boston previouse race same problem on Hawai).

    Can anybody telll me the purpose with great circle navigation idf the boat do not follow the coures set.

    Looking forward to some good piece of advise in this matter.

    Regards

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!

Welcome to yet another all-new route. Tasmania to Kamchatka, part of our Ocean Championship and also the third leg of the ROW (Round the Old World) series. Be aware of the obstacles on the way, likely to split the fleet. It's like X:mas to X:mas, crossing the same waters, navigating the same archipelagos. This second race of OCQ2 2026 will be sailed in our revised 'version 2' Imoca 60 Foil. Race #2031
