THX!!!

@ zero, I am trying to keep my laptop windows office free ;-)

looking the numbers:

if I got the system, to score 1000 you should win at least 15 races indipendent of the time frame, right?
found my new goal for the next years! lol

I found a mistake in the previous spreadsheet, so I've attached a corrected version. You can get 1000 by winning 10 of your first 15 races. Otherwise, you need to gradually increase your rating by winning. Depends on your starting rating for how long that takes.

Maybe we should We are thinking of including a decrease in the rating, which would make it difficult to stay at 1000, let alone get there.

Hi Scotsman - getting closer! I ran a few of the recent long races with the latest set of numbers and the results are credible. There is a definite bias toward slower boats, but I'm not sure if this is reflecting the method of handicapping or the nature of long races.

A very interesting summary to look at is corrected time vs handicap for any given race. Ideally you'd end up a with a flat "limit" with cruisers etc scattered above that. For leg 3 there is a positive slope. Interestingly, you can also see the 24 gaps that boats were able to transit the strait in - within each group the trend holds true. Good news for the system.

I'll start processing results on the basis of my previous posts.

Hmmm, any chance of sending the results for the recent races like you did before? We have those up to #448 25 Feb 2012.

Any thoughts on how to host the results or the data? We can continue with this thread for now but at some stage the results should go somewhere more obvious.

I've analysed the ratings for the race #449. See attached. This spreadsheet includes updated rating and corrected results.

New SOLers can have very low ratings as they have not completed many races. This seems to skew the results. We may need to give them a higher starting rating which is more realistic until they have completed a few races.

Here are the next two race results. Whilst this is working ok, could do with some programming advice on how to improve it. Bit clumsy at the moment.

Chances are it will be a fast downwind ride, so see how you can keep up with the real-life fleet which we hope to be able to follow on our monitors.

Leg Two of our Round North Island Series is where the real challenge begins. After Mangonui, our SOLers face a demanding 491nm passage around the top of the North Island and down the rugged west coast toward Cook Strait. Long miles, exposed waters, and relentless tactical choices will test every SOLer.

Iceland to the Falklands 2026

Welcome to an all-new route, the first of three Round the 'Old World' of Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. To give each leg of the ROW a bit of length we'll try to hug the coasts as little as possible, so starting in Iceland our first leg of the series, which will also be the final leg of our Quarter 1 Ocean Championships takes us 7200nm to the Falklands, the full length of the Atlantic end to end. To make sure we'll get it done within the month we'll be sailing our Maxi Trimaran.

Welcome to Leg One of the Round North Island Series in partnership with SSANZ.

This year, our SOLers will be racing the dynamic Sun Fast 3600 – Jeanneau’s renowned racer-cruiser and a proven flyer downwind. A gentle opener on paper… but coastal tactics and shifting breezes will demand focus from the start!

New Ice Age 2026 - Browerville to Longyearbyen


Our 2026 long-distance ice-boating challenge continues with a second race in Arctic waters, now from Browerville, where we arrived less than a month ago, continuing east, back to Svalbard’s Longyearbyen, leaving Canada’s Ellesmere Island to port and Denmark’s Greenland to starboard. It’s about 2500nm, which, if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you more than a day or three, thus to complete your first (of several) online circumnavigation of the planet of 2026!

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!
