Started the race 0544UTC a bit late. I knew the race would start Wednesday but not taking into acount the time differance from Europe. But I enjoy the racing so what can be done. A rerun on another day?. Last night was my first good nights sleep in along time. Not waking up at 0000UTC or 0200UTC to check on how far back from the front i am. I appreciate the work that goes into SOL and enjoy the racing. Thanks SOL.

As far as i know, a race can only be set up with a fixed starting time, which can't be changed later on. That's the reason, why SOL won't have been able to reflect the postponement of the real race, even if a SOL-God would have been online.

And this might even be the reason, why this race popped up a bit surperisingly, only a few hours in advance, if the Starttime of the real race wasn't set more than these few hours in advance... and possibly a few hours of time shift between NZL and Europe.

Nevertheless, a Notice on the Blog that Leg 3 is to Start on March 2nd, but hte exact time isn't set yet, would have been nice, to alert folks to watch out.

Please will you take this discussion to the Sailonline Yacht Club Forum where there is a poll running, on what to be done in relation to the RNI series, and an opportunity for folks to air their views.

It would be preferable to keep this thread for news about the race, rather than SOL-specific issues.

The SOL homepage blog reflects the information we were given in relation to the start of Leg 3, the vote in the SYC Forum allows you to decide on how to rectify (or leave alone) what has happened in relation to the RNI series and what (perhaps) should be done in the future with other races where SOL and a local race organiser buddy-up.

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!

Camel or Balloon - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!
