    Could you please make the map a lot bigger to include Japan and countries in that area. The present course does not allow me to do the race properly, I believe

    I just went into the race and now I am being logged in from the original BoatA that I havn't been able to use since the start of the race. More SNAFU again. This is stupid that I couldn't even get a response from anyone at SOL.

    To whom it may concern. I registered for the Whitsunday race yesterday. I then started (Boat A) in the practice mode. Gave it some delayed commands and left SOL. Boat sailing fine. I went back into SOL about 45 minutes later and it showed an identical boat with my name on it at the starting line not moving (Boat B). Today I started on time and my boat is moving along great. At the time of the start there were two AcmeRacing boats registered in the race. I started a boat on time no problems(BoatA). Got passed some islands In 50th place and doing fine. Left SOL for about an hour. Went back in to check my boat and now I only can control the boat that hasn't even started yet back at 258 position (Boat B). (Boat A) is in 50th place I cannot get logged into. It will just fun aground somewhere. All I can log into is (BoatB) Again something is wrong here with your program. SNAFU again. I guess I will just blow this race off. Again SNAFU AcmeRacing
  • Again SOL has a very big problem with finishing times.

    SOL you seem to have a finish position problem still. I know you don't want to fix it but I am tired of it. My boat finishes at the line and turns head to wind. OK. Boats that finish up to 2 minutes behind me by turning head to wind finish 10 seconds ahead. That is BULL SHI%. I am tired of beating boats to the finish line only to have them beat me. Can't you guys figure out how to get these boats to finish correctly. Don't give that junk about the clock and decimal seconds. That is not where the problem is. Boats that turn head to wind at the finish line are finished. Pure and simple. Boats that turn head to wind 2 minutes later CANNOT beat you by 10 seconds...........

  • Different Polars
    Board » General Discussion
    A question has come up, Why are the polars for the Volvo boats different from the last time we sailed them. I have noticed this before. I have to admit I have never sailed on a boat with variable polars. Pls advise

    Jakob,
    Again we are looking at a race this weekend with NO wind. What do you guys do, Look around the world and find the lightest conditions you can find and put a race there? You CANNOT be doing it any other way. Please don't tell me it is just luck that all the weekend races have no wind!!!!
    Here is a novel idea, Lets make the weekend racing NOT included in the SYC ranking. Publish a schedule of races that count for the SYC ranking. (Big name races)
    You can have another ranking for the weekend races that people can race if they want.
    It is the same idea as seasons points racing, and then doing beercan racing on the weekend!
    I do realize that some of the big races like OSTAR, Volvo, Sydney Hobart etc start on a weekend. That is okay. It is these imaginary, minefield, design the race so the racers will be online for five days to go nowwhere race is what is the problem!!!
