2012-11-07 14:35:07 - Global Challenge
Just looking at the race. I assume you cant go out of the pink area. Is it possible to enlarge it north?
Many Thanks

No, you cannot leave the pink area. The admin folk will review if the area needs to be extended. I think it may need to go further south.

Hi Kz

As Scot pointed out you can not sail beyond the pink boundries. They act the same as if you would hit land, boat gets pulled back one "jump" and will turn to twa=0.

We will have a good look at the race bounds today. We are reluctant to enlarge south because of real world ice-gates.

2012-11-23 13:56:05 - notices of race
Hi!
I think it is unfortunate the the "notice of race" period is so short, for a big race like Global Challenge. I am not too much of an sailonline addict, I did not race much during last year. But during past months I did check website now and then if an ocean race was coming up. Then I was for travel for a week, busy with other things. Just to find later I was 4 days late for this start! What happened? (Look now at for exampel rumskib also.) Why not notice this type of race for a month at least? A large fleet I guess all want, no? Best regards! Mange

Hi Magnus, I must admit this race was indeed on a very short notice.

We did not plan to run this one but we responded to the overwhelming demand for this race. So in this case we where not able to give much prior notice.
We understand that this can be frustrating.

Looking ahead we are looking into more streamlined way to announce new races. We now use the blog and the race schedule but one of the things we are having a look at is a dedicated calendar for the main big races.

You certainly have a good point here and something we already looking into.

PLEASE, it's time to schedule the start for the leg 2 !!!
If we want to sail with the real boats, we must start next Tuesday 4th. And it'll be nice if we have 2 buoys : the first at 39°N - 46° E, the second at 40°N - 80°E.
Thanks for all.

Hi! I'm interested in knowing how long Leg 1 will be open to race in, and when Registering for Leg 2 will be closed. Here's the reason: I started about a week late - lets say a massive rig failure right at the start (really I just noticed the race underway and thought why not?)

Now I'm catching up with the fleet- driving hard blah blah blah. So for role playing purposes I'd like to keep going and not skip up to the front with everyone else. I get, however, that the server is needed sooner than later. I just don't want to get shut out of leg 2 due to closing registration before I'm kicked off leg 1 due to needed server space...

Thanks!

Blue the Legs are separate events as far as the server is concerned. So just register for the next one now and start with the fleet or wait as you choose. Your boat will stay at the start until you choose to do otherwise.

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!
