2011-01-07 18:25:56 - Corinthian Class, IMOCA leg 2
For all the sailors out there who have dreamed of racing boat v boat with no routing, "steathier" racing, a return to the early days of ocean racing, I propose a set of rules for an unofficial race within the race:

* No boats to use software routing
* Position and ranking updates will be be available to the fleet 4 times daily in synch with the updates.
* Open radio channels...
* Honour system and chivalrous behaviour



But how?!

Install the "Adblock Plus" plugin for Firefox (the Chrome version doesn't work for me, if anyone can suggest methods for other browsers please do!)

Add a custom filter for the fleet postions data:



Reload and the fleet disappears. Your boat updates and responds normally. When it's time for the fleet to call in, disable blocking, refresh and then re-enable (stopsign icon in upper right).

This causes no issues on my machine, and shouldn't affect sailport. It would be better to block the request than the response, but I haven't managed that yet.

I'm in, although I fear total humiliation. What are the check in times?

Looks like it's shaping up!

Hi Baggus - we're not using the adblocker to block any ads, but to cloak the fleet. With it turned on, you only see your own boat moving. At call in time, you can optionally turn off the filter and let the fleet positions update before going back to sailing solo.

I considered suggesting roll-call only once a day, but with sailors on every continent it doesn't work very well. The updates are a convenient time to allow a peek at the fleet. If we like this style of race then there are other options down the road :-)

Haugesund to Reykjavik 2025


In late April 2016 Draken Harald Hårfagre, the worlds largest viking ship built in modern times, left her home port in Haugesund, Norway and sailed off for a challenging voyage across the North Atlantic Ocean.
The aim was to explore and relive one of the most mythological sea voyages – the first transatlantic crossing, and the Viking discovery of the New World, more than a thousand years ago. History tells us about the Viking explorer, Leif Eriksson, who discovered America over 500 years before Christopher Columbus. The expedition was all about exploring the world, just like the Vikings did.
Sailonline is racing the 1000 nm first leg, from Haugesund, Norway, to Reykjavik, Iceland in our Farr 400. Let us sail in the wake of history on this epic adventure!

It’s 1900nm and we’ll be glad to be sailing our comfortable and sturdy Xp-55, as we will certainly experience more headwinds!
