Hi!
How do I add a photo in the label which pops upp when I tick on a pushpin, start dot, course line, etc.?

Race four (150Nm) is now ready to launch. But I check, recheck and check again (very insecure), who check that I have done everything correct?

Any e-mail address?



In some cases is it impossible for me to follow your guide lines.

1. Position start and finish of
longer races clear of immediate
obstacles, as many players
might want to use delayed
commands.

Either you race or not. What say´s that some don´t need DC´s in the middle of the race? No, this is NOT a good idea!

2. Fine-tune the Latitude and the Longitude.

Almost impossible as my courses so far are located in very narrow waters. Fine tuning put the lines and pushpins on the "high way". ;)

3. The finish line should be
approximately perpendicular to the
line between the last waypoint and
the finish.

This is just for lazy/late skippers who want to use DC and CC over the line. I think we should try to minimize the numbers of pushpins if possible instead.

4. The length of the finish line should be...

Physical impossible in some of my races as the waters are too narrow.



PS. I don´t want to flash all my mistakes on the Forum. I´m ready to share my courses via the Forum when I know I have done them properly.

2010-02-26 21:10:17 - Caribbean Sprint 2010
IMHO the Caribbean Sprint can and should be re-run many times with preference starting early Fridays. That is a perfect race for a long snowy weekend.
What a great race that is.
Cheers,
Antonio

2010-02-28 18:50:00 - Archipelago races
I also prefer archipelago races and Caribbean Sprint is one of them.

If you like or prefer fairly short archipelago races, you should know that I have sent Inco four (4) races which I hope will be launched during the upcoming spring 2010.

Ladys and Gents,

What is the next race?

I had family issues during the weekend and could not race the "Mini800NM part 2" and the "Figaro Transat" is too much for me to chew.

So, I am sitting on the dock bored and longing for a race.

Please any race, but a long long one.

Thanks all,
Antonio

If you are referring to the link in Incognito's first post in this thread to the Google Earth Race Proposals PDF, you can find that file here:

I saved a copy there when someone else was having trouble opening it as well.

HTH, HAND,

Panama Canal 2026


Sailing in the Panama Canal isn't the best idea, and organizing a race there is simply impossible and unfeasible IRL. In SOL, we have slightly different rules, so why not? A 36nm, frantic race awaits us, and the fast Dehler 30 OD will help us navigate the Panama Canal with grace.

Tasman Double 2025 - Sydney to Hobart

Christmas in Summer? Indeed! Kick off the first leg of our two-leg Tasman Double series in the classic 625nm Sydney to Hobart race, this year in the upgraded SuperMaxi 100v2. Inspired by Neville Crichton’s legendary Alfa Romeo II and her near-sister Wild Oats XI, these yachts blaze across online and real-world waters alike. Feel the thrill even in storm-force winds as you tackle the Tasman Sea—dock in Hobart victorious, or at least in time for a well-earned post-Christmas drink!
