    Re: Ranking of boats faulty?
    Board » Technical Support
    Hello!

    It is not reasonable that a boat can move from ranking #973 to be the leader boat (#1) within 15 minutes.
    There must be something wrong in the caculations of the distanse.

    regards,

    Ranking of boats faulty?
    Board » Technical Support
    As can be seen from the uploaded picture there is only 30.4 nm differense between the leader boat KarmaFish nd the #973 ranked boat R1 BOTECO1. Can you really trust the ranking shown on your boat. When I rechecked the ranking for R1 BOTECO1 sudddenly that boat is now #1 !!!

    Best regards

    Polar diagram missleading
    Board » Technical Support
    Hi!
    I am participating in the Volvo Oceean race with the VO-70 boat but I¨have notised that the position showed with the small circle in the polar diagram indicates that the boat is running with approximate double the speed than the current wind speed would provide. I think that the curvrs in the polar diagram represents wind speed in knots rather than in m/s.

    1 nt/s = 1852/3600 = 0,514 m/s.

    Anybody that agrees on my finding??

    Regards

    Hello!

    Thanks for all the good explanations to my problem. Shall I conclude this matter by saying that if I set a strait cource to the finish line(no Great circel nav. on) the system will get me there but not on the shortest way. If I use Great circle navigation I will get the shortest way but I have to update the compass cource in regular intervalls to hit the target.

    Very best regards

    Navigation problrm
    Board » General Discussion
    If I set a course on the goal line I expext to end up in the goal not 15 nm to the north. I had activated Great circle navigation and saw tyhat the course line was curved but when I
    checked why my boat was stranded I saw
    that it had sailed in a stait line not as shown on the map when a doid set the course (last rare to Boston previouse race same problem on Hawai).

    Can anybody telll me the purpose with great circle navigation idf the boat do not follow the coures set.

    Looking forward to some good piece of advise in this matter.

    Regards

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
