Posted by raven Posts 21 Registered at 2008-03-10 12:36:50	2008-12-14 11:18:28 - "Real" DTG
	Hi! You all know how that the DTG (and therefor also to current ranking) doesn't work perfect when rounding marks if you're not really close to the mark. Infact, in several races the leader finds himself to be ranked several hundred places down just when passing a mark. In an attempt to make that better I've made a new ranking page for the third leg of SOR and it can be found at http://sailor.raven.nu/112.html It's brand new so it might have bugs but I think it works. The distances are slighty different that the official once but not by much. It's currently generated every 15 minutes. Let me know if anything weird shows up.
Poll: How cool is it? Cool, better than the official Cool, as good as the official Waste of time Show Results (You won't be able to vote.) You need to be logged in to vote.

	Hmm...(12:16 Swe time) Im on 265th position on your leaderboard. 138 on SOL leaderboard. I think SOLs is more right. I have Santacalus behind me in the chart but in front of me on your leaderboard. It shows 691 Nm to finish line, but I meassure around 650. http://www.tangosailing.nu ______________/)_/)___________/)/)/)___ Hometown: Trosa, Sweden Boat: Albin Express, SWE 410

	Right, minor glitch It has been fixed and now reports ranking 132 (135 official) and a couple of nm less than the official DTG.

	Hi, just looked at your ranking. It's ok as long as the boats round the marks at the correct side. For example "skipper85": he is on #7xx at the official ranking, because he left Pulau We on port. You have him on #2xx.

	Thanks, nice catch! I have found the bug and skipper85 is now correctly calculated as 700-something Thanks again.

	Sorry, but i found another one: Your calculation aims at the centre of the finish line, but that is not the shortest distance to the line. so your ranking gets a bit confused now. ciao Bernd --- Last Edited by K3 at 2008-12-22 10:31:10 ---

	yes, and besides it calculates with the coordinates I've taken from the map which could be somewhat wrong. This could perhaps be fixed but not right now I also know that it has some weird things once ppl start to finish but that will be fixed.

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu

The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
