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

Great Bear Ice Race 2025


You can fly to Great Bear Lake Airport, but if the ice is good, instead hire a pick-up truck, load your disassembled DN into the cargo bed and drive, first following the McKenzie River north, and then straight across the lake to the start of our final Ice Boat series race of roughly 100nm in length. The Airport authorities have agreed to leave all lights on, so you should just about be able to see where you are going as you zing and rumble, PL-free over the ice!

Chile Islands RTI Sprint 2025


Across the Canal Puyuhuapi from Puerto Cines on the Chilean mainland lies the Parque Nacional Isla Magdelena, and further west across the Canal Moraleda from Magdelena lie the islands of the Chonos Archipelago. Returning for the first time since 2017 we find ourselves in vari-charted waters here, with the mapping between physical islands and their names not 1:1 but rather some:some. It’s only 26nm but you could get lost! Good luck.

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!

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!
