2013-11-27 23:38:21 - Arbitrary changes to course
I have been finding that my course has been changed without my participation a number of times during this Leapfrog race. I set a TWA course, switch off my monitor screen, and return to it some hours later, to find the notice of the new Wx. When I check my course, I find that I have been turned by about 90 degrees, and have lost places etc.
Please check this over the last several hours, and determine if I actually gave such a command.
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

The data Rod need is "What command caused the course change, when was it sent, from where was it sent". I'm sure Rod already knows that the course change happened, and when it happened, but not why. I don't think hmm's site will help Rod.

Rod: Are you sure it wasn't a forgotten DC? Could there be someone else that hit a wrong button on your computer? Are you sure it wasn't a wrong command from your side?

Not sure of anything, but examine my course back a few hours and you will see unexplained squiggles... It may be due to the timing of clicking on a new course, but not correctly, so that moving the cursor is actually changing the course before it reaches the command box. I will check my "clicking timing".

Hi Rod,

I have verified that all the latest commands in Leapfrog have come from the same computer address and none of them have been delayed.


So from server side everything seems to be OK.

Must be me then... I am adjusting my "click" speed settings so maybe will 'click' on a new course with more certainty.
Many thanks for your efforts.

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
