Hi .Once again pen to paper.I hate computors,but do enjoy the game,but this Beta I have to admit is completely spoiling my(me)game.Firstly the actual course is so small to watch and use,it is only about a third or even less of screen area.The polar is half covered by the advert to join SYC,which makes it useless,and bigger than the course itself.I understand you have to have adverts etc for sponsorship etc,but to the detriment of the game,I dont understand.The coloured tracks are very pretty,but clutter up what you can only just about see,on the old system track came on when boat was selected.Its quite possible that its my system that is faulty,but since everything else works perfectly I have my doubts.Zoom you may say,ok but then you can only see the boats and notthe facilities for adjusting.
If you can advise me on any way of improving things or what Im doing wrong here I would be mpost grateful!!
Meanwhile happy sailing to the "contented"Beta users and sympathy to users who may have my problems if any!!
Thank you

Capt Anderson's Resupply TIMED Race 2024

Welcome back to the Pacific Northwest for a race that takes us around the southern end of Vancouver Island and up the west coast as we supply six lights.

This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.

Neumayer Station to Biscoe Wharf 2024

It’s Autumn now in Antarctica, the sun is permanently below the horizon, but during the day, from c 0900 to c 1700 local time, there is some twilight – nautical twilight, not to be confused with civil twilight which is brighter. The penguins are starting to huddle together to keep warm and the sea ice is growing. Time to get back to Biscoe Wharf then, before the water becomes impassible. Including a detour past Argentina’s main two Antarctic stations, it’s only 1900nm, so, although we’ll be in a hurry, we will take the bigger, better ice-classed Paratii 2 once more, just to be sure!

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
