    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!!!

Lago Viedma Ice Race 2025


Less than one third of the land mass of the planet is to be found in the southern hemisphere, and most of that in tropical to temperate latitudes or in Antarctica, so it is difficult to find good natural ice to race DNs anywhere in August! However, if you take an internal flight from Buenos Aires to Aeropuerto Internacional Comandante Armando Tola de El Calafate by the shores of Lago Argentino, it’s only a 100km taxi ride to Lago Viedma, where we have set out a few beacons on the ice for you for a quick 80nm blast around the four corners of the lake, and as it’s so remote here, no need to worry about breaking the solitude of monks or suffering PL!

Marstrand to Cowes 2025


We invite you to another race, which will kick off the third quarter of our ARCH series. We'll set off from Marstrand, Sweden, which, along with Skagen, Denmark, marks the line commonly recognised as the border separating the Baltic Sea from the North Sea. The 650nm route will take our Ripitide 50 across the North Sea and the English Channel to Cowes, England. Watch out for the fast ferries crossing the Channel from Calais to Dover 😊.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Baia de l'Oiseau to Carnarvon


How ever shall I return to report with clarity to my Great Sultan – asked Sinbad. It needs be told this island and all its fables shall be expunged from the annals of every thousand and one night. The wind howls – and sun be none (it’s Winter, Sin’bro, ed.) – and all days from the west, but let’s launch anyway and see if we can work our SOL Balloon north as the days pass aiming for Asthralaya, where The Mahabharata tells the ancients once tested mighty weapons, about a quarter and a million qasbah away (2500nm, ed.), perhaps one month.
