    Great work fixing the bug in delayed commands, and improving the presentation for low winds. Good developments too in other areas. It is becoming my main interface to the simulation. I just need to add a routing algorithm!

    Just wondering if the overlay used by sailonline for coasts (ie the often straight line approximation to fractal like coasts) is now missing from the maps? I am pretty sure it was there in .25 when I did the NZ Coastal classic as I ended up on the beach! but I can't see it now in .30 eg in RTW around Fernando de Noronha? I could be wrong, maybe it is in one of the other overlays now available in settings, but I couldn't find it?

    What IDE are you using to code btw? ADT/Android Studio or one of the many unsupported environments, also Java or another language? Are you using GIT to manage revisions?

    Regards

    Excellent work with the android app. Working well on minimal hardware : G2 running 4.1.2

    Note one bug, could not put in negative TWA in Delayed commands. OK in immediate commands.

    Looking forward to the next version. Being able to get a readout of wind from a selectable point on the map would be useful, difficult to see wind direction when less than 5kn.
    Thanks

    Re: starting times?
    Board » General Discussion
    We NZ sailors can also suffer from unfortunate start/finish times.

    Maybe the solution is to have more international races so that everyone gets start times that fit their time zones. races in Australasia/Pacific could be

    Sydney to Hobart (Aus)
    Round NI (NZ) (2 handed) 4 races around North Island www.sanz.co.nz
    Coastal Classic (Auckland to Bay of Islands)
    Cook Strait Classic (Wellington to Marlborough Sounds (Ships Cove etc)
    Nelson race (Wgtn to Nelson)
    Tasman Race (New Plymouth to Mooloolaba)
    NZ to Fiji race
    etc

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.
