2010-02-21 17:56:43 - IMSYC - Explanation and Apologies
Post annotated by Incognito :
This thread was moved from the category Sailonline Yacht Club.
As many have noticed, in the last part of the IMSYC my boat was steered by WINSTON.

It is not my custom to let my boat be handled in such critical situations and yesterday evening all I asked (Gilles) was to check, after the update, if my TWA which was set early in advance could lead me to pass the land tip near Gdansk. Obviously this was not the case, so WINSTON noticed, at 3,30AM that my boat was bound to crash so he took over and steered ita10267 home.

I apologize to anyone who might feel that this makes my victory less fair.

That's OK. You made all race very good, from start to finish. I don't have any claim.

Never heard that boat sitting was an issue. Happens all the time, and quite often between close competitors (which tells a lot about the SOL community :) ).

Before I joined SOL, I once steered a another boat througout a whole race. I had received relatively strict instructions. He won, ahead of me! :-O

I am even thinking of creating one day a forum category for crew exchanges ...

Regards,

Francois

I have not any problem with that.In the beginning of SOL, I had a Co-skippership wit BGosh, and my results were much better that time... just because I can't spent all my free time to SOL. I have more problems with help from routeplanners, but that's another discussion... where we shall never come to a fair solution.

Goodness ita - I have only just seen this thread and am sorry that you have felt the need to put it up. How anyone can have an issue with WIN briefly boatsitting for you is beyond me!! You get excellent results on SOL, so does WIN...I just can't see how anyone can object!!

Boatsitting is one of the decent things about SOL. I have and do boatsit for a few, all know that I am not particularly good at SOLing, but in the absence of instructions also know I will do my best for them.

Current Races:

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!

Andaman Islands PYOC 2025


The Andaman Islands are an archipelago, made up of 200 islands, in the northeastern Indian Ocean. Together with the Nicobar Islands to their south, the Andamans serve as a maritime boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west and the Andaman Sea to the east. These waters will be the theater of our next 240nm race in the ARCH 2025 series. Which one you choose depends only on you, i.e. your Elan 410 sport will leave the Andaman Islands on the starboard or port side.

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!
