Whoooop: I see your very new here. A previous race, Sydney to Hobart with detour, was most interesting when the weather split the then evenly spread fleet into two very distinct divisions, seperated for the rest of the race by about 2 days from memory.
If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

Hi Guy's, I'm new to this aswell. Personally, we need more races from the around the world, so maybe we need a "sign-up a friend" campaign.

The greater the numbers racing (joined up) the increased funds that will support the ongoing development, and thus the increased oportunity to cut the competition any which way you want.

Personally and country/continent/regional comp would be great, only issue that I've noted, even if you combined the Kiwi's and us Ausies, we still couldn't compete against the vast numbers of common countrites.

So when we have 2000 - 3000 - 4000 on the start line, coooooool and then we might have an issue to address.

Anyway, can't stop now, we're trying to line up the finish line...

Happy racing

Great ideas! We work as hard as we can developing, setting up "in-port" races, next legs etc. Could one imagine a community-driven recruiting-a-friend-campain? ;-) Also, the country-challenges you are talking about is great. We need to ask Wiz (who is doing the ranking pages) to set it up.

I suggest having switches where you can:
-switch off all boats
-have top 5/10/100/200 etc.
-Or a % of the fleet sampled across the board to give an idea where the fleet is without clutter
-a friends list

Just some ideas
Take it "ESEA" go sailing

Perhaps showing only the boats on your page of the leaderboard is another option; or +\- 50 positions from you => the ones to overtake and the ones to keep ahead of, if possible!

Skimmer Dragonfly - India to East Africa 2026


In the autumn, when the rains stop and the tourists thicken in Goa and along the north western coast of India, globe skimming dragonfly climb to the skies (up to 1500m) to catch the high-altitude ITCZ winds and glide south west to East Africa. We’ll stay at sea level, where alas the winds will be less predictable, and race them there, the whole 2400nm of the way, in Carkeek 40s.

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
