I like to see a legends board. This could include several categories, like a list of the race winners and series winners; most miles sailed; who has been ranked #1; most races finished. Similar idea to the badges but with more detail.

Longest % of time aground.

Fastest time excluding time aground.

There were seveal more suggestions made in the past including syenum'd analysis.

I to, have thought along these lines...
Like a 'SOL Trophy Room' or 'Hall of Fame'

Soon more things like this should be possible (fingers-crossed, no promises)

This is not recorded...

Fastest time for what?

What is "syenum'd anaylsis"?

There was long ago and far away such a list.
By a soler called Wiz. It would be nice if anyone knows how to get in touch or even catch a glimpse of his code.

Sorry my fingers got fuddled!!

One analysis I looked at was his "national" raking. I don't know the real story about 3 or 4 years ago, however it seemed that the SoL gods did not want to link to his analysis.

I know we swapped emails and I suggested some fun prizes as well, At that time all the kiwi boats were racing for a real bottle of Mt Gay and we even had the Royal Akarana Yacht Club's Around White Island Race present a bottle of rum at their official prizegiving.

Aaron: Fastest time for sailing the course so I could see that if I had NOT gone aground, I could of been in 47th place instead of my 254th position.

If only I could be more dedicated!! LOL!!

It would be an encouragement to do a bit better.

CONCENTRATE
CONCENTRATE
CONCENTRATE

are the 3 important requirements when racing IMHO.

OK - just it seemed we were talking about a 'Legends Page' - 'Hall of Fame' whatever - so I didn't think you were referring to including individual races there...

But, time ashore is not recorded...

Why don't people just try harder not to hit the hard stuff?
All it really takes is very little sleep for the duration of the race and possible divorce proceedings... Totally worth it ;-)
(Easy for me to say, I'm a Bachelor)

But seriously - many suggestions require changes to the underlying data model kept on the SOL server. That is one of the hardest things to do just at the moment. So we need to try to work within the data SOL currently does collect (for the time being)

I would still like to see a LOG of my sailing filled in for every hour + times of steering changes + when aground, when refloated.


Ideally being able to download it so that when I do wake up or get back to my PC, then if desired I could download by clicking on a "button".

Perhaps a choice of TXT, CSV
and M$ Excel for formats.

Contents. All this data is currently shown on screen:

Lat, Long, Position in fleet, DTG

plus data as shown on screen:

Speed, Course, TWA, TWD, TWS, VMG, PERF, UTC, Comments (aground, Abeam Cape Horn etc if appropriate)

Ideally UTC in first column in format:
yyyy-mmm-dd hh:mm
