    captjack, Thanks for the in put. Think I'll stay awake for finish lines in the future, just to be safe.

    I missed the finish line after resetting it twice! I was using compass course, zoomed in to the line after rounding the last mark, set the course to the north side, but inside the mark. I checked it a few hours later and the line was north of the gate, I reset it again(2.5 hours to the line) even more to the south, like 1/3 inside and went to bed. Checked later to fine it went north again. I checked to see that I was on compass course after it went off course the first time.
    The only thing I did unusual was to really zoom in tight at the last mark(3)? Also I had used TWA on the middle of the 2-3 leg and noted it had reverted back to compass course the next time I signed in?
    Any insight would be appreciated.
    Thanks

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
