2007-12-28 14:41:26 - boat ( J122 ) in sydney hobart just rounded up head to wind
While I was away my boat just rounded up head to wind and stayed there in the middle of the ocean (41.744 149.529 it is strill there) no land in sight no obstructions, any idea what could have gone wrong?

Were you sending commands or did it "just happen"? One sort of pedagogical bug is that it's easy to forget the checkbox on TWA, and then hit send command with the intention on sending CC. But this bug seems to occur maybe a little too frequently for that. Do you think this could be the case?

I think it happens often now because we have had to restart often. After a restart all commands are set to 000 and CC is ticked.

Is it possible to change it so you have to choose cc or twa?
Atleas the first time after login.

Yea good idea, or maybe just a confirmation checkbox after sending the command, ie "Command TWA=XXX deg was sent". That could be annoying, but maybe it's better to be a little annoying than letting unintended commands through

I'm quite sure I didn't leave any delayed course changes and the boat was on a cc otherwise it could never have rounded up (we were on a run flying the kite) It happened when I wasn't logged in ( I was in the low 30 ranking wise) when I came back in the afternoon I was 86 and I should have been at the nr 2 mark on the approach to hobart. So I'm quite clueless of what happened is there a log on the server you can take a look at?

I heard of more users having this during the last race. I didn't experience it myself but there were reports of this happening. Both mac and pc clients.

Didn't have enough info to get a good insight but I urged peaple to post their error log if it occured.

I think we have to put the error posting back in place, or better "train" our users to post the problems in the forum.

Yea I will put the feedback link back - I just didn't have time to port it to the new website.

We'll look into this.

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!
