    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

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

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.
