	Before I leave SailonLine race and forum a couple of suggestions: - get the sol-boat in every race out of the water the moment you open the race for registration. At least disable input of steering commands; directly or via dc's in all clients. Disable dc's in general. be it in brainaids dc-editor, autogribloader or etc. Very maybe you could just restore sol to the 'community-boat' it once was. - Get rid of the guest-account or elevate the guest-account to full operational status. - Give only SYC-members the 'right' to contribute to the forum. - Construct a document that tells how hmm gets his information of positions of boats; how in 'autogribloader' a solgrib is available withoud using brainaids toolbox. You do not have to teach programmming in it.. but if information is publicly available then tell how and where to find it. Bye.

	Disagree totally with suggestion #3....If only SYC members are welcome here to race, do not pretend that this site is free--and that only if you "VOLUNTARILY" pay are you allowed to race. Equally, if hmm's VMG addition to the 'predictor line' is available ONLY to SYC PAYING MEMBERS, then stop pretending this is a 'free' sailing site. JUST DEMAND MONEY--like everyone else. If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Sinbad Surveys Arabia 2023
Sinbad Al-SOL’er invites you to race him on seven epic voyages (5 to count), not entirely in line with those of his illustrious ancestor Al-Sail’or described in the 1001 Nights, and totally out of line with those voiced over by Brad Pitt in Sinbad - The Seven Seas, commencing with a survey of Arabia, from the island kingdom of Bahrain all the way to Aqaba, there where, in 1917, after a desperate forced march, TE Lawrence, Sherif Nasir and Auda abu Tayi routed the Ottomans. Instead of camels through the sand, though, we’ll voyage the c 3000nm across the sea on IMOCA 60’s.
