    <b> Volvo Ocean Race 2017/2018 possible?<b>
    Board » Flag Officers » Race Calendar
    I have participated in all past virtual volvo ocean races, The coming edition seems to take place without a vritual version. Would it be possible to add this to the race schedule on such a short notice ? I volunteer to complete a race proposal if it makes a chance, after becoming a SYC member off course.

    Tnks kroppyer for your reaction.
    It is as you say. This resembles reality.
    I was attrackted by the high wind speeds of the depression, but development of it changed, as usual. I had no chance at all to avoid the blue gue afterwards.
    I am having thoughts to write my own router. But that won't change reality.

    How to handle wheatherdata differences ?
    Board » Technical Discussion
    In my current position in the Timed transat
    LAT 49°14.3747'LON W 022°55.8096'
    DATE 2015-09-29 TIME 02:30:08
    the wind information in the client
    differs from the wind information in the gribviewer, which uses the file from
    brainaids site:
    "weather_186_global_gfs_20150928_2227.grb"

    client TWD 122.34° TWS 2.82KT
    gribview TWD 120 TWS 5.3KT

    Meanwhile I have read that there are differences. The effect is that my routing software sends me in the wrong direction.
    How do other SOL users handle this situation ?

    Boat Name Change
    Board » Technical Support
    My current boatname is :PietD
    Can you please change it to :Armchairsailor
    ==============
    I suppose that after the change I will need to log in by that name.
    ====
    I did not realize that the account name I chose will be used as boat name.
    I suggest that you one time include a feature to select the boat name apart from the account name. I have seen multiple users that wanted to change it after registration.
    I understand that it does not make sense to change it after doing many races, but in real life people occasionally acquire another boat as well.

Vuelta de la Isla Saltes Sprint 2025


Welcome to Spain for our first sprint of Q4. This is a traditional 20 NM local race around Huelva in SW Spain. Chances are a quick circumnavigation will involve some upwind work weaving your way round the mud flats of the upper reaches of the Huelva delta in our Fox 9.50. Fair winds!

Camel or Balloon - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!

Africa by Sea 2025 - Mogadishu to Suez


Nearly there; only 2500nm to go, round the Horn and up the Red Sea to Suez into what will more than likely be more headwinds for this sixth leg of our African circumnavigation, to be followed in September by a final sneaky dash up the canal back to where we started all those months ago. We’ll be sailing a not entirely appropriate-for-upwind-work 60ft Trimaran!
