    Board » Flag Officers » Race Calendar
    I have participated in all past virtual volvo ocean races, The coming edition seems to take place without a vritual version. Would it be possible to add this to the race schedule on such a short notice ? I volunteer to complete a race proposal if it makes a chance, after becoming a SYC member off course.

    Tnks kroppyer for your reaction.
    It is as you say. This resembles reality.
    I was attrackted by the high wind speeds of the depression, but development of it changed, as usual. I had no chance at all to avoid the blue gue afterwards.
    I am having thoughts to write my own router. But that won't change reality.

    How to handle wheatherdata differences ?

    In my current position in the Timed transat

    the wind information in the client
    differs from the wind information in the gribviewer, which uses the file from
    brainaids site:
    "weather_186_global_gfs_20150928_2227.grb"

    client TWD 122.34° TWS 2.82KT
    gribview TWD 120 TWS 5.3KT

    Meanwhile I have read that there are differences. The effect is that my routing software sends me in the wrong direction.
    How do other SOL users handle this situation ?

    Boat Name Change
    Board » Technical Support
    My current boatname is :PietD
    Can you please change it to :Armchairsailor
    ==============
    I suppose that after the change I will need to log in by that name.
    ====
    I did not realize that the account name I chose will be used as boat name.
    I suggest that you one time include a feature to select the boat name apart from the account name. I have seen multiple users that wanted to change it after registration.
    I understand that it does not make sense to change it after doing many races, but in real life people occasionally acquire another boat as well.
    Greetings: Piet van den Donker
