    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 :))

SSANZ Round North Island Race 2026 - Leg 3

Leg Three of our Round North Island Series, in partnership with SSANZ, keeps the pressure on! From Cook Strait, the fleet turns north for a 187 nautical mile passage up the east coast to Napier. It may look like a quick overnighter, but shifting coastal winds and the ever-lively Cook Strait demand sharp focus. In our responsive Sun Fast 3600s, a proven short-handed racer and powerful downwind performer, tactical decisions and precise timing will make all the difference!

South China Sea Race 2026


Welcome all to the South China Sea and a virtual chase in Cookson 50’s of the Rolex South China Sea fleet, racing 650nm – as the local red-footed booby flies – from Hong Kong to Subic Bay on the southern tip of The Philippines’ Luzon Island. Chances are it will be a fast downwind ride, so see how you can keep up with the real-life fleet which we hope to be able to follow on our monitors.

Iceland to the Falklands 2026

Welcome to an all-new route, the first of three Round the 'Old World' of Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. To give each leg of the ROW a bit of length we'll try to hug the coasts as little as possible, so starting in Iceland our first leg of the series, which will also be the final leg of our Quarter 1 Ocean Championships takes us 7200nm to the Falklands, the full length of the Atlantic end to end. To make sure we'll get it done within the month we'll be sailing our Maxi Trimaran.
