    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 :))

ORCV Melbourne to Hobart 2024


Welcome to the legendary "Westcoaster," a race that has tested sailors for over 50 years. Spanning 435 nautical miles, this iconic journey takes racers from Melbourne, across the formidable Bass Strait, and around Tasmania's rugged west coast to the finish line in Hobart. Organized by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria, the Westcoaster is renowned for its challenging conditions and adventurous spirit. This year, our SOLers will tackle the course in the swift and capable First 47.7, a yacht launched by Beneteau in 2000, built for speed and endurance in long ocean races. Get ready for an exhilarating ride in one of Australia’s most celebrated yacht races!

Refeno Rally 2024


Although since 1986 this 300nm course from Recife, Brazil, to Fernando Noronha Island has been run many times IRL, we have only used this route twice in SOL. This time it will be the route of the last race in the ARCH 2024 classification.
Although the winner of the general classification can already be determined, the fight for the next places on the podium should be fierce. There are several contenders and Dofour34 have them at their disposal. Since we are starting in Vida_Maldita's home waters, he will give us a 30-minute handicap. Or maybe we should give it to him? 😊

The Beagle in the Azores 2024


And west the Beagle went one final time to round the Cape of Good Hope on May 31 1836. Ashore, Darwin met up with the Astronomer Royal, Herschel, who just happened to be in South Africa at the same time mapping the southern skies. After sounding out his many ideas on evolution and extinction with Herschel, the Beagle now sailed north, stopping briefly in St Helena, Ascension and Brazil, and the Cape Verdes again, to reach the Azores on September 19, 1836. Fitzroy and Darwin at this stage were in a hurry to get back to Britain, but online in 2024 we will stay a little longer to explore this final remote archipelago in our virtual Tall Ship Class B Beagle, 630nm round and about the islands, minding as always in these waters not to bump into any large cetaceans!

Christmas(W) to Christmas(E) Island 2024

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, so prepare your 90ft 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 2024 challenge of a reversed race, starting in the Indian Ocean, racing to the Christmas Island in the Pacific! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2024. Please have fun! Fair winds!
