    Damn! I missed it. Now I'll no doubt be last in the next race ;-)

    That's interesting. It made a dramatic difference for me.

    Mobile Client - issue with Sony Eriksson phone(s)
    Board » Technical Support
    Tonight I used the mobile client for the first time on my phone. The chart display was virtually unreadable on all zoom settings, making the client impossible to use. By the time I could get to my laptop my boat was already way past the mark and I had to double back - losing over 15 miles and a lot of places.

    After some trial and error I found the problem. In my Sony Eriksson W810i phone there is an option in the Advanced menu (only available when viewing a webpage) called 'Smart-Fit'. This is turned on by default. Turning this option off fixed the problem. This had not caused problems before with other webpages so I don't know why it should only affect SOL.

    I hope this info can be of use to other people with the same phone (and maybe other Sony Ericsson phones).

    I had a bit of a rant in the chat room earlier. Apologies for that but I felt so annoyed at the time.

    Thanks for the link. I didn't know about that!!!

    The old placings in the Orno race appear, then disappear, then re-appear, then...

    "there will not be wind enough to come close to the best times in either race till sometime Wed., June 24."

    I would echo that.

    I would disagree with leaving timed races open indefinitely though. At the same time I think the time/date that timed races will be closed should be announced right at the start, not decided arbitrarily afterwards.

    Good question - I was wondering the same thing. In the Orno race I have raced three times so far, finishing in #209, #89 and #52. For some reason #52 is not showing up anymore.

    Edit - Now #52 *is* showing up! What's going on?

    Edit again - Now #52 has disappeared again!!!

    They seem fairly random to me. I'm in the UK.

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
