    Well, ok.

    Convinced now. Indeed the angle of boats "hanging" at the start line is a bit odd and they all point into the wind. Never noticed this slight detail.

    Thanks for giving me this information :-)

    Hmm. Would sound reasonable, if ....

    there wouldn't be a lot of other boats already "hanging" at the finish line.

    I'm not convinced.

    Finish not accounted
    Board » Technical Support
    I have seen this complaint several times here and now it happened to me too.

    Just tried to finish the (pre-race) Chicago-Mackinac race and it happened to me with the St. Malo race, too, that the finish line just let's me pass.

    I made sure in both cases that all marks I saw have been rounded (the fact they change their text now definitely is a great help, thanks). Nevertheless I couldn't finish.

    1. What reasons could there be beyond missing a mark?
    2. How to find out what reason applies?

    Best regards

    Hi everybody

    I'm not sure if some people think that this is part of the fun but for me it's an annoyance:
    When I have to steer automatically (i.e. when I'm off due to sleep or other things) the only options I have are to set CC or TWA. Misguessing the wind speed just by a small bit can make you miss the target by a few nm. When aiming at a small target like a finish line that is a lot and you can't play that safe.
    The feature I'd like to see is to have a point on a map that controls the new course. Ths should work as follows:
    The moment the the command is executed (remember delayed execution here) a new CC is calculated as the direct line between the current position and the new target point. Once the CC is calculated things go on as now when you give a CC.

    As the target point doesn't play another role, the boat will show no actions when it sails over it but just sails further on a straight course.

    On the UI you could use the same tool (this compass rose like icon) to enter the target point. All data is already available as the coordinates are already shown when you move the cursor. All it needs to is to put them into another input field.

    Best regards

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.
