Ciao Cappy ;) and ALL solers ;)

In my role of Coordinator , I want to answer your well placed point , regarding the tech irregularity occurred on Feb 22nd .

Firstly rest assured that the matter has been tackled immediatly , as soon as first event took place . In actual facts some 16 boats in total have been affected by the event . The SOL Tech engine room and SOL OPS started discussions immediatly , and investigation plans for implementation of corrective actions are in place since about half day through on the 22nd .

I am not the right person to talk about it , but preliminary response is that being the race area spanning beyond the midnight line , when some boats , who eventually lost interest in the race, or lost contact with the boat, and sailed eastbound towards the boundry , actually hit the eastern boundry line , were teleported to the west of the race area , exactly at same latitude , with a 270 deg heading jump .

This software irregularity event would clash with the awareness that since a few years we are able to sail in the pacific , crossing the midnight line , thanks to the efforts of Brainaid , who fixed the previuos problem we had .

We now learn , thanks to 16 solers who dared to go where no man had gone before , that hitting the boundry beyond the midnight line strikes an irregular reaction by the server ;)))))))) ( Klingon server ...not liking that we sail into the neutral zone ?????? ) ....


a part from kidding , I wanted to reassure you that the issue is looked at since the first few minutes , as it happened .....and hopefully will be fixed quite soon ......well ...for the time being we just need not to fly to the neutral zone....;) ;) ;)

And , lastly , we are about to issue very special Award Certificates to those 16 who dared to go where no man had gone before , for the " most gigantic jump performance ever seen in SOL " !!! ;)

ciao ciao

Piero

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!

Andaman Islands PYOC 2025


The Andaman Islands are an archipelago, made up of 200 islands, in the northeastern Indian Ocean. Together with the Nicobar Islands to their south, the Andamans serve as a maritime boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west and the Andaman Sea to the east. These waters will be the theater of our next 240nm race in the ARCH 2025 series. Which one you choose depends only on you, i.e. your Elan 410 sport will leave the Andaman Islands on the starboard or port side.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
