2009-01-04 15:27:34 - finish line
I arrived in the night and crossed the finish line, when i looked in the morning, my boat had crossed correctly the finish but was not registred as arrived. I lost about 100 places. Can we trust the other registrations when the most important does not function correctly ?

Hi Winston,

I understand your concern. We think we've found the finish line bug and are currently working on a fix. The bug was not in our mathematical algorithms but a logic error when under certain circumstances the server did not register the finish to the database. Regarding the overall robustness of the system I think we're doing pretty well. Since we're giving out almost all data, and have frequent update intervals our alert users usually notice immediately when something in our model is not correct. We also try to always be very transparent and open regarding bugs and deficiencies in the system, so that there is always a common trust between us and users. I hope this answers your question!

I have now recalculated all finish times, they should be correct now.

otpkma, I'm pretty sure I sent you an email earlier today where I gave you a finish time. The boat is not at the finish line but it doesn't matter, it is registered as finished and has a correct finish time.

I am currently competing in the Stockholm and Gothenburg race and after succesfully negotiating the narrow straights and coming out of them in second place i pointed the boat at the middle of the finish line and went out for the day. Upon returning i checked to see if i had finished and saw i have sailed right through the finish line and am now in third place and am having to sail back to the finish line. Why has this happened when i have finished correctly as i am unhappy about this. Can you please look into this and why it happened and also correct the final positions to show i finished second

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
