    What would be good for me and maybe others is the ability to enter a delayed command with a specific time rather than a fraction of hours. So for example enter steer cc 129 at 1820 UT.

    Would it be possible to include on the maps the names of islands. Maybe just the major ones, could maybe only make them visible when you zoom in to a particular level, or maybe toggle them on / off. Quite often I look at the map and would like to know more about where we are in the real world in more detail.

    Ahhh, OK that explains why when you zoom right in on your boat it sometimes looks like it is ahead of boats that are listed as being ahead of it.

    What about the ability to download the race positions in Excel format. When I'm at work its great to monitor positions every couple of hours via excel and see who you're gaining on and who's pushing to overtake you. Right now I have to copy and paste all this stuff which is very tedious. Maybe someones already generated a program to do this quickly, otherwise and XLS download would be great. You can also work out others speed which is really useful.

    Not sure if this is a bug?
    Board » Technical Support
    I am in the GOld race and just hit 68 degrees west and cant go any further west, another boat is in the same situation, has the playable area been set to stop at 68 west or is this a bug?

    Performance reductions
    Board » Technical Support
    Hi

    I know that if you run aground or change direction you suffer a performance reduction. If you instruct your boat to sail according to a fixed TWA do you suffer a performance reduction every time the server makes an automatic alteraction to your course to keep you on the fixed TWA course?

    Another suggestion. I like the fact that the boat polar shows the current boat situation by a spot, it would be good to be able to make this window larger to see the coloured contours more clearly, or maybe just highlight the contour/s relevant to the current wind speed.

    I would like to be able to switch from one race to another without having to exit the Client Program. Currently i two races and it would be good to swap from one to the other.

Iceland to the Falklands 2026

Welcome to an all-new route, the first of three Round the 'Old World' of Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. To give each leg of the ROW a bit of length we'll try to hug the coasts as little as possible, so starting in Iceland our first leg of the series, which will also be the final leg of our Quarter 1 Ocean Championships takes us 7200nm to the Falklands, the full length of the Atlantic end to end. To make sure we'll get it done within the month we'll be sailing our Maxi Trimaran.

SSANZ Round North Island Race 2026 - Leg 1

Welcome to Leg One of the Round North Island Series in partnership with SSANZ. The four-leg circuit of New Zealand’s North Island is a true test of short-handed skill, and it begins with the 150nm passage from Auckland to Mangonui. This year, our SOLers will be racing the dynamic Sun Fast 3600 – Jeanneau’s renowned racer-cruiser and a proven flyer downwind. A gentle opener on paper… but coastal tactics and shifting breezes will demand focus from the start!

New Ice Age 2026 - Browerville to Longyearbyen


Our 2026 long-distance ice-boating challenge continues with a second race in Arctic waters, now from Browerville, where we arrived less than a month ago, continuing east, back to Svalbard’s Longyearbyen, leaving Canada’s Ellesmere Island to port and Denmark’s Greenland to starboard. It’s about 2500nm, which, if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you more than a day or three, thus to complete your first (of several) online circumnavigation of the planet of 2026!

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!
