    Suggestions to extended predictor
    Board » General Discussion
    To the Sailonline team,

    Great addition with the extended predicter tool. Thank You to all.
    When you use many DC's, would it be possible when you place your computer mouse to highlight one DC, that a dot appears on your predicted course so you can locate the DC on the map?

    Thank you guys.

    Team, the info (map of the race) of the A3 2020 leg 3 loaded on the web page is not correct. It should be changed.
    Thank you for your dedication.

    Morning team and again well done.
    A suggestion for the html client:
    Could we have a toggle button on the screen that removes all tracks except the official tracks. In some instances (i.e multiple tours, or passing by or around the same locations) there are too many tracks on the screen and it gets confusing when playing on a small media.

    Just a suggestion.

    Bon vent

    Guys, so far it works well. Thank you for your time and patience.

    As an improvement, could it be possible when you set a DC, that the predictors (both) starting at DC point are shown on the map?

    Regards from Altair

    Kicked out of SYC member
    Board » General Discussion
    To whom it may concern,

    Had to renew my membership at the last minute today on 31/01/2020 and discovered afterward that I am not listed as SYC member anymore. Will I regain the membership? Will my sailing history be restored.

    Thanks

    Team,

    Nice job and Thank you.
    Few points before reading all the inputs on the new client and maybe you already responded but I can't find it in the chat.
    1- Chats are not saved on the computer. So we loose earlier inputs.
    2- Cannot scroll down the list of boats in the ranking tab.
    3- With regards to knobs allowing to change the map display, if we had knobs that could allow us to toggle between wind arrows to wind TWA/TWS from the map screen without having to go to settings each time.

    Note that all points above are valid from the computer or the tablet I use.

    Voila.
    Great job you guys are doing.
    Paul

Skimmer Dragonfly - India to East Africa 2026


In the autumn, when the rains stop and the tourists thicken in Goa and along the north western coast of India, globe skimming dragonfly climb to the skies (up to 1500m) to catch the high-altitude ITCZ winds and glide south west to East Africa. We’ll stay at sea level, where alas the winds will be less predictable, and race them there, the whole 2400nm of the way, in Carkeek 40s.

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
