    Re: Starting to get over it......SOL
    Board » General Discussion
    Sloop, I totally agree with you. So filika is also heading off into the sunset. Had already in 2010 experienced that SOL became something that was not that fun anymore. I did a restart prior the last VO70 around the world race, and had a good first leg, finished top 30. But then the hollow emptiness once more crept into my attitude against SOL sailing. It is just not as fun as it used to be. This is probably due to a mixture of things: I am not able/willing to dedicate the time needed to more than participate, the router / non-router question (I am a non-router aestetics myself), a feeling that SOL sailing gets a bit repetitive, you name it.
    Long gone are the days when filika was top ten in overall ranking, and it is not likely that those days will return.
    Also , the IRL filika is no longer around (she was our beloved cat who finally became old and sick), so it is perhaps just logical to fade into the void for awhile.
    Might be back someday for some occasional SOL sailing though.
    All the best to the whole SOL community and to the SOL gods who do a splendid work.

    performance loss issue
    Board » Technical Support
    In the Sunday Scurry fleet race there was a performance loss behaviour that appeared strange.

    At the first rounding, Cape Pembroke, i rounded and got my performance loss (down to 87%) as expected, which slowly gave way to 100% performance again. I did not notice anything strange with my boats behaviour or performance. It was as can be expected for such boat in such wind.

    But some other boats appeared to be able to do this drastic course change (about 100 degrees inluding a TWA sign change) without getting a performance loss. In the chat that followed for instance, the boat Nor Svein told his dashboard reported 100% performance. Strange indeed.

    My rounding sequence was as follows: starting at CC116, adjust to CC117 just prior rounding, then CC225 (big perf loss), small adjustments to CC 226.3.
    As i said, my boats behaviour was as expected, but i was surprised to find myself trailing 1 mile in such a simple turn.

    So please look into this. I sense there is a bug somewhere in the algorithms that enabled some boats to make that drastic course change with no or quite small performance losses.

    In short words: magnificent.
    Many thanks Incognito !
    Now I can fiddle around with own data to fit my own needs.

    Re: 10 minutes offset in Bimini race
    Board » Technical Support
    Added after checking DC.
    My DC was set to trigger off TWA=0 at 10:27 just a short distance after finish line. Under the "alarmclock" tab this DC was presented as to trigger off at 10:16, and this would have left me some 2 nm short of the finsih line.
    My boat indeed stopped at position that correspond to my 2.0 hour DC (past the finish line).
    So SOL time was handled correct, but the time presented under "alarmclock" tab was not correct, but differed about 10 minutes.
    My PC clock also show same time as SOL time in Map window (except the UTC + 2 hours swedish summertime).

    10 minutes offset in Bimini race
    Board » Technical Support
    Noticed in the prerace for Bimini.
    Approached finish line, set a DC for TWA=0 in 2.0 hours at UTC 08:27. The DC then appeared under the "alarmclock" tab with a time of UTC 10:16:35. That is not 2.0 hours from 08:27. Seems like there could be a 10 minutes offset of time here.

    Mobile client problems
    Board » Technical Support
    Did most of the second half of VolvoSuursaariRace from my cellphone. Have lately done quite much of my SOL sailing from the mobile client. It is difficult enough that you do not have access to any weather forecast. But now there was a new problem as compared to my earlier mobile client experiences. My position on the map had a large offset from centre of display. If you divide the display into -100 at left edge and 100 at right edge and similarly 100 at top edge and -100 at bottom edge. Yes centre would be (0,0). I would estimate my position about (-75, 0) at the zoom levels of interest.
    Please look into this, because it was not easy going westward when you were so close to the map edge.

    Re: Wrong distance to leader?
    Board » Technical Support
    But this time Jakob some more explanation is needed I think.
    This morning, tuesdag 17/2 at 5.40 UTC, I got up and had 12040 nm to finish. The present leader had about 11580 nm to finish, and he/she was only some 20 nm to starboard. This boat was not even sideways in front but sideways behind me.
    That needs some more explanation I believe.

Marstrand to Cowes 2025


We invite you to another race, which will kick off the third quarter of our ARCH series.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Baia de l'Oiseau to Carnarvon


How ever shall I return to report with clarity to my Great Sultan – asked Sinbad. It needs be told this island and all its fables shall be expunged from the annals of every thousand and one night. The wind howls – and sun be none (it’s Winter, Sin’bro, ed.) – and all days from the west, but let’s launch anyway and see if we can work our SOL Balloon north as the days pass aiming for Asthralaya, where The Mahabharata tells the ancients once tested mighty weapons, about a quarter and a million qasbah away (2500nm, ed.), perhaps one month.
