    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

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!
