Damn keep forgetting to double check that I am logged in as myself, after checking a mate's boat! But funny I should answer as ronny, he's sailed them to!

You do not log in as SOL to check your friend's boat. This is abuse of the server. Use the menu on your right side of your screen. Become familiar with this menu that can almost perform miracles for you. Not least under Boats menu. Click to enjoy :-)

I am at a loss to understand 'Honesty Race'. How does it differ from a timed race such as the present "St Malo TIMED Race"?
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Same thing but in RL you have to clock yourself... hence the honesty.

Baggus how about posting your course and boat here and people can kick some tires? IRL it's a matter of identifying the likely overall conditions for a fast run and then watching the forecasts/current conditions for a match (routing can help here). Local knowledge will account for the other 75%...

@UC: Of course he asked me... Uneccessary comment mate...

@Jawik: I said I log in as sol to check a race prior to reg, then I made a post under ronny as I forgot just closing the race doesnt log you out, I need to still manually do it from home page. As I have only boat-sat twice now, I still forget occassionally to double check.

TY, I am quite familiar with how to use a website... A few occassional oversights may still happen though, especially when head clouded with flu for the past week...

Hi Baggus,
the idea of 76 is really attractive.

Of course you are the capt. so you decide ;-)

wait a second...
extending the concept....
what about a IRL honesty SOL race?
fixed course that could be sailed anywhere, anytime in the world with whatever boat....
Then we would need the ability of 76 to compare the result at the end.....
Am I crazy? yeessss!

Lago Viedma Ice Race 2025


Less than one third of the land mass of the planet is to be found in the southern hemisphere, and most of that in tropical to temperate latitudes or in Antarctica, so it is difficult to find good natural ice to race DNs anywhere in August! However, if you take an internal flight from Buenos Aires to Aeropuerto Internacional Comandante Armando Tola de El Calafate by the shores of Lago Argentino, it’s only a 100km taxi ride to Lago Viedma, where we have set out a few beacons on the ice for you for a quick 80nm blast around the four corners of the lake, and as it’s so remote here, no need to worry about breaking the solitude of monks or suffering PL!

Marstrand to Cowes 2025


We invite you to another race, which will kick off the third quarter of our ARCH series.

The 650nm route will take our Ripitide 50 across the North Sea and the English Channel to Cowes, England. Watch out for the fast ferries crossing the Channel from Calais to Dover 😊.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Baia de l'Oiseau to Carnarvon


How ever shall I return to report with clarity to my Great Sultan – asked Sinbad. It needs be told this island and all its fables shall be expunged from the annals of every thousand and one night. The wind howls – and sun be none (it’s Winter, Sin’bro, ed.) – and all days from the west, but let’s launch anyway and see if we can work our SOL Balloon north as the days pass aiming for Asthralaya, where The Mahabharata tells the ancients once tested mighty weapons, about a quarter and a million qasbah away (2500nm, ed.), perhaps one month.
