The "Winners" get bored and drop out---and the "Losers" get dissatisfied with losing all the time, and also drop out.

Thats my point. You can adjust some current settings and rules, but you might win the battle, but lose the war.

Viva Robberto and Rod,

Good afternoon to the double “R” and all.

Again, the issue here isn’t the routing software that we can use.
The real and big PROBLEMA is the boat’s live data public disclosure which is unfairly used by some SOLers.
You can have the best routing software (whatever it is) for working your routes, but if you don’t have data (from the other boats) it is as good as the others, for tactical purposes.

There is no other way for explaining this.

Since hmm’s data center shutdown we had several races where we saw clearly different reactions from numerous SOLers more accustomed to the “route Copy/Pasting” and taking their race history success from the others effort.
This is an issue - live data from boats - that SOL is taking time to “understand”, namely that the alleged “benefits” don’t cover the bad “habits” it generates.

If you think this is correct - keeping the former hmm’s status - and also fair, just say from your justice.

When I start Soling, I didn’t know what a routing program was and even today I’m still finding out.
It took me a lot of effort and hours to learn it, without help from nobody.
Now and then, I try to help the others, something that nowadays is disused.

But that’s another story.

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!
