The real issue here is the "absolute denial" and wierd explanations after the fact.
Not sure what you mean by 'denial' - as i said all the polars were available well before the race, and we chose accordingly
All boats have bulges in their polars.
The keel dipping lower in water giving greater speed at that windspeed.
Boats can sail faster than the wind at TWA 180.
Its not uncommon that boats can be designed to sail faster at a specific windspeed and direction.
One polar is in m/s but the one useg in the race is in knots. I could go on.
Units used in the polar are irrelevant as long as all the numbers are converted properly... Yes the original polars used m/s, but again it should be the overall profile used for selection, not raw numbers - or convert them to knots so you can get a sense of how the polar will be in SOL client - or use an app that does it for you ;-)


Its just a game,
Wash your mouth with soap sir ;-)
so somebody could have said: Oopss - we really screwed up here. And that would have been it. End of discussion.
What exactly do you think was 'screwed up'? Sure the uprising polar was very fast at TWA180 in approx 8 knots, but like I said we all knew that before the race?
I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

Here are the ratings based on WhyNot's archived weather added to mine. There are still a few gaps, but should be much closer than the ones based on the pre-race forecast:


Thanks for this, 76T. Shows how well quite a few did on other designs than the Uprising.

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!
