    Re: Ipad

    It seems that the Volvo iPod App for their version of sail racing is a simple, effective extension to the user.
    Don't get me wrong, Sailonline is by far my preferred platform for sail racing on computer. Sadly, my life does not allow to devote more time to racing. But, a simple to use app would make it possible to keep more up to date.
    I am sure I am not the only one who feels the same. I do realise the expense involved, but that must be able to be off set somehow...

    I was just thinking if anyone had thought of creating an App specifically for Sailonline. It can be done, just a matter of finding the right person. I lead a vey mobile life, a better format for mobile would be a big hit.

    Thanks Antonio.
    Who knows where Earl will strike, hopefully he does a right turn, goes out to sea and leaves us all alone.

    Starts Saturday local time. Just as hurricane Earl rears his ugly head in New England.
    I am in Maine at the moment waiting for him to arrive, riding it out on anchor.
    Probably going to lose satellite internet for this race, and will probably have a bit on. Shame, it will be a fast, fun race. Enjoy everybody.

    RC, I like the proposed format. There seems like a good mix of long and short races.
    Personally, when the timing is right, shorter races suit me. But, that timing can change from day to day let alone week to week and I like the mix of short & long races running together.
    I appreciate the changes made so quickly, response times like this for the group will make SOL (if not already) the premier online racing platform.
    Sadly, in my line of work my available time is limited. If there is something I can offer to help the team please let me know. I am not tied to a desk or computer, however I can access one at various times during the day/night. Unless I lose satellite connection (which accounts for most of my beachings during racing).
    Keep up the good work.
    Bear.

    All good & valid points.

    Sometimes my work prevents me from starting or being able to be highly competitive. But I still enjoy the platform. I agree with Victory that perhaps some of the races are being held open too long.

    Kalle- I understand the overhead issue. Perhaps you can introduce some "members only racing". And I think you have gone from 1 extreme to the next with the amount of races. I agree there were too many races now there are too little. Like you say a balancing act. A weekend race, mid week race and the occasional long distance race could be a nice balance.

    I hope that these points are helpful. As I said I enjoy the platform and look forward to more good racing in the future.

    Bear.

    Why are there now extended breaks between races? It used to be that there were overlapping races. There is now long periods between races. Practice does not cut it.
    Finished Chic Mackinac, even missed the start by 4 hours. Done the practice for Refeno. & I have to wait for another 3 days before something new happens (the start for Refeno)....
    Keep the pace up guys.

    Thank you for changing the boat for the race to the 40.7.
    It is much appreciated keeping the game in the same spirit of the race.
    I now only hope that I have good satellite connection for the duration of the race, so I can hopefully put in a decent result for a change... The joy of living and working on yachts!

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.
