	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

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
