    Very minor website error
    Board » Technical Support
    When trying to look for upcoming races, I went to links, current calendar, but it takes me to a 2011 calendar.

    I was doing so well until I reached the 1st mark...

    Taken from this mornings Orno Runt race - The screenshot shows it all.

    Still recovered and finished, just missing the top 50. It took most of the race for my "performance" to recover to 100%.

    Re: A few boats invisible at night
    Board » Technical Support
    Many thanks for your swift reply. I am a newbie around here so I am unaware of the history, except that I have heard good things about Aaron, it looks as if he is badly missed.

    I wonder if an alternative approach might be to have a user option to stay in day colours.

    Although I am a software guy I have never had anything to do with flash, so don't know how it works or how much work that might be.

    Anyway, thanks for all your work.

    PS apologies for the multiple file uploads.

    A few boats invisible at night
    Board » Technical Support
    At night I have been running with a distance limited list and ticked to show only these boats. This gives the boat shape rather than just a dot. In this mode a few boats appear invisible. After the change to day colours they become visible.

    I have taken a screen grab and looked in an image editor and they are there but the colour is almost identical to the background and invisible to the eye on my laptop.

    I have tried, but think failed, to attach cropped screen grab with 2 boats in the image, one in dot mode one in boat shape mode.

    I think it just needs this colour excluded.

    Best regards

    Tim

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
