    Slightly off topic here but I encountered a funny glitch the other day whan I set a new course.

    I was about to tack, from 36 deg. TWA to -36 deg. TWA. I knew this in advance and set the new figure in the approproate box and made sure the correct radio button was enabled. However, I was waiting for the right moment to tack and so wandered off to the chat, the list of boats, steering, etc. Back and forth several times. When the right time came I once again checked the control panel - it was correctly filled in from before. I made my tack.

    To my surprise the new TWA became -33.5 deg not -36 as I had set! Fortunately I saw this immedately and could correct so it was no issue really. But noe I wonder if there could be a bug that makes the control panel "forget" the radio button if the user "wanders off" like I did?

    Having said this i again want to point out that I just love the job you all do developing the game and still think it's the best I've seen!

    Wild idea for "quick races"
    Board » General Discussion
    I participated in "Augustimånen" and really liked that race.

    There was only one problem; the time needed to complete the race. Hence, I had to "park" my boat occasionally and resume sailing at a later time. Not very competitive.

    For races like this, couldn't the race engine run on "compressed time", i.e. run the estimated, in this case, 32 hours in just, say, 5-6 hours instead (10 minutes per hour)?

    Re: Feature request, what would you like to add....

    First of all, let me express my deepest admiration for the new client and its rapid evolvment. I sincerely think this is just fantastic!

    Finding errors is however always easy for those not involved in develpment and so I have one issue I really would like to stress; the possibility to set waypoints.

    For me, that can't sit in front of the computer all the time, and sometimes not at all, this would mean a chance to have my boat to at least move in the right direction and/or be able to make a rounding without me having to watch over it like a hawk. So, I would very much appreciate such an enhancement!

    I know this issue has been proposed before and I have read the answer that it's on the list but, call me nagging, I thought this deserved repeating.

    Once again, though: Great job so far. You have by far the best online routing games available (and I've tried a few)!

Current Races:

Andaman Islands PYOC 2025


The Andaman Islands are an archipelago, made up of 200 islands, in the northeastern Indian Ocean. Together with the Nicobar Islands to their south, the Andamans serve as a maritime boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west and the Andaman Sea to the east. These waters will be the theater of our next 240nm race in the ARCH 2025 series. Which one you choose depends only on you, i.e. your Elan 410 sport will leave the Andaman Islands on the starboard or port side.

Isla San Lorenzo RTI 2025


SOL’s SRC (Sailonline Race Committee) has taken us to some unusual places in the past, and San Lorenzo Island off Lima’s Callao peninsula is definitely another one. Housing a naval base and a penal institution, no vessel is allowed within 300m of its shores. Also, with no sources of potable water, it is a matter of debate whether it is an island at all, and not just a large rock. So, whatever you do, don’t be tempted to BBQ; you’ll be arrested and go thirsty! We return for the first time since 2018 to race thirteen potentially unlucky miles in J-30s; have fun!!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
