2009-11-04 08:12:19 - Using Delayed Commands in Timed Races
In the manual, it says this is possible.

So does the start timer "start" from the time the delayed command is sent by clicking on [Send Command]

OR when the delayed command starts the boat several hours later?
If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

Your start time will be the time when the command is actually executed (not the time when the command is created). ok?

Is it so that when the dc is first in to the server, it is first out at race start time, even if it is sett days before ?

Not sure I got the question... Your timing starts when the boats starts moving, regardless of when the command was created.

I try again :-)

If I record my DC, for instance, as #15 into your server (computer), will I then be served out from the server as #15 at start time ?

First in, first out.

Or do the server processing my DC random / incidental at start time ?

Your command is executed at the correct time regardless of server load. #15 or #215 does not matter.

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
