    I will be sailing in this race just like I have sailed in every other race that I have participated in on SOL. SOTP has been the only way I have raced for how many years now!!!

    76 Trombones. I will agree with your theory that we are using the south pole for distances. Then, I am presently 200 miles closer to the south pole than the leader and I am still listed as 1400 miles behind them? I am sorry but your theory doesn't add up with the rankings.

    I can't figure this out! I have 1907 miles to Cape Horn. NZL 2389 has 2101 miles to Cape Horn. The mileage shows that I am behind them by 1200 miles. It still shows that I have 5300 miles to go. Sorry I only have around 4000 miles to go. What is going on here? Please advise. This kind problems have happend before when crossing the dateline. Please check before the race starts in 18 hours.

    Could you please make the map a lot bigger to include Japan and countries in that area. The present course does not allow me to do the race properly, I believe

    I just went into the race and now I am being logged in from the original BoatA that I havn't been able to use since the start of the race. More SNAFU again. This is stupid that I couldn't even get a response from anyone at SOL.

    To whom it may concern. I registered for the Whitsunday race yesterday. I then started (Boat A) in the practice mode. Gave it some delayed commands and left SOL. Boat sailing fine. I went back into SOL about 45 minutes later and it showed an identical boat with my name on it at the starting line not moving (Boat B). Today I started on time and my boat is moving along great. At the time of the start there were two AcmeRacing boats registered in the race. I started a boat on time no problems(BoatA). Got passed some islands In 50th place and doing fine. Left SOL for about an hour. Went back in to check my boat and now I only can control the boat that hasn't even started yet back at 258 position (Boat B). (Boat A) is in 50th place I cannot get logged into. It will just fun aground somewhere. All I can log into is (BoatB) Again something is wrong here with your program. SNAFU again. I guess I will just blow this race off. Again SNAFU AcmeRacing
  • Again SOL has a very big problem with finishing times.
    Board » Technical Support
    SOL you seem to have a finish position problem still. I know you don't want to fix it but I am tired of it. My boat finishes at the line and turns head to wind. OK. Boats that finish up to 2 minutes behind me by turning head to wind finish 10 seconds ahead. That is BULL SHI%. I am tired of beating boats to the finish line only to have them beat me. Can't you guys figure out how to get these boats to finish correctly. Don't give that junk about the clock and decimal seconds. That is not where the problem is. Boats that turn head to wind at the finish line are finished. Pure and simple. Boats that turn head to wind 2 minutes later CANNOT beat you by 10 seconds...........

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.
