    If you hit ground and know about (ie SMS warning) you can use the mobile client to turn. Way better than trying to send an SMS with new course :)

    I'm not an official of Sailport but just a quick note. To send an SMS in the volumes we're talking here would cost around 1 SEK (0.10 Euro cent) per SMS. I'm pretty sure the banners won't cover that.

    For an extra charge though... :)

    This has now been tested for 2 race starts and actually has more than one user :)

    I would say it works.

    The nature of RSS says that the items/posts shouldn't change but race notifications changes as the race is first announced, then opened, but that also works and all races is made aware of...

    I recommend this for this RSS-hungry sailors out there :)

    yes, and besides it calculates with the coordinates I've taken from the map which could be somewhat wrong.

    This could perhaps be fixed but not right now :)

    I also know that it has some weird things once ppl start to finish but that will be fixed.

    Thanks, nice catch! :)

    I have found the bug and skipper85 is now correctly calculated as 700-something :)

    Thanks again.

    Right, minor glitch :)

    It has been fixed and now reports ranking 132 (135 official) and a couple of nm less than the official DTG.

    Hi!

    You all know how that the DTG (and therefor also to current ranking) doesn't work perfect when rounding marks if you're not really close to the mark. Infact, in several races the leader finds himself to be ranked several hundred places down just when passing a mark.

    In an attempt to make that better I've made a new ranking page for the third leg of SOR and it can be found at http://sailor.raven.nu/112.html

    It's brand new so it might have bugs but I think it works. The distances are slighty different that the official once but not by much.

    It's currently generated every 15 minutes.

    Let me know if anything weird shows up.

    As long as comhem works it works :)

    As long as I'm told about any problems I should be able to get it up and running quickly :)

    Still experimental though, I haven't even tested it with a newly announced race.

    An opt-in email list that just get short announcements when the races go visible.

    Another option is a RSS feed with the races, would that work?
    Either would be fine. If you have the time to build it than it's perfect. Otherwise I just stared to build that kind of rss, probably finished during this week :)

    (also another really cool new page for SOL is ongoing :))

Andaman Islands PYOC 2025


The Andaman Islands are an archipelago, made up of 200 islands, in the northeastern Indian Ocean. Together with the Nicobar Islands to their south, the Andamans serve as a maritime boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west and the Andaman Sea to the east. These waters will be the theater of our next 240nm race in the ARCH 2025 series. Which one you choose depends only on you, i.e. your Elan 410 sport will leave the Andaman Islands on the starboard or port side.

Isla San Lorenzo RTI 2025


SOL’s SRC (Sailonline Race Committee) has taken us to some unusual places in the past, and San Lorenzo Island off Lima’s Callao peninsula is definitely another one. Housing a naval base and a penal institution, no vessel is allowed within 300m of its shores. Also, with no sources of potable water, it is a matter of debate whether it is an island at all, and not just a large rock. So, whatever you do, don’t be tempted to BBQ; you’ll be arrested and go thirsty! We return for the first time since 2018 to race thirteen potentially unlucky miles in J-30s; have fun!!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
