2014-04-28 20:32:06 - Boat Course resets every few seconds....
hello

In the Scandinavian Tour 1 - Finland race, I set the Boat Cource, ( COG or TWA, with or without delay) and every time in few seconds the boat angle changes to the wind angle, so my speed goes to 0 !!!

in the Cape Town - Abu Dhabi race everything is ok.

I cleared the browsing data, deleted cookies etc but the problem continues.....

any advices ???

You have met an SLI--visible only at highest zoom.
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Hi Nemesis - welcome to Sailonline.

As Rod says.... go to the race, and use max zoom to see the island you are beached on!

I've just popped this message in race chat:

AHOY NEMESIS you are beached on a small island... hold down ALT key and hit the [+] symobol on-screen (or just lots of +) to get max zoom to see how to steer away!

Here you are a bit zoomed out

Current Races:

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
