    Well, ok.

    Convinced now. Indeed the angle of boats "hanging" at the start line is a bit odd and they all point into the wind. Never noticed this slight detail.

    Thanks for giving me this information :-)

    Hmm. Would sound reasonable, if ....

    there wouldn't be a lot of other boats already "hanging" at the finish line.

    I'm not convinced.

    Finish not accounted
    Board » Technical Support
    I have seen this complaint several times here and now it happened to me too.

    Just tried to finish the (pre-race) Chicago-Mackinac race and it happened to me with the St. Malo race, too, that the finish line just let's me pass.

    I made sure in both cases that all marks I saw have been rounded (the fact they change their text now definitely is a great help, thanks). Nevertheless I couldn't finish.

    1. What reasons could there be beyond missing a mark?
    2. How to find out what reason applies?

    Best regards

    Hi everybody

    I'm not sure if some people think that this is part of the fun but for me it's an annoyance:
    When I have to steer automatically (i.e. when I'm off due to sleep or other things) the only options I have are to set CC or TWA. Misguessing the wind speed just by a small bit can make you miss the target by a few nm. When aiming at a small target like a finish line that is a lot and you can't play that safe.
    The feature I'd like to see is to have a point on a map that controls the new course. Ths should work as follows:
    The moment the the command is executed (remember delayed execution here) a new CC is calculated as the direct line between the current position and the new target point. Once the CC is calculated things go on as now when you give a CC.

    As the target point doesn't play another role, the boat will show no actions when it sails over it but just sails further on a straight course.

    On the UI you could use the same tool (this compass rose like icon) to enter the target point. All data is already available as the coordinates are already shown when you move the cursor. All it needs to is to put them into another input field.

    Best regards

Africa by Sea - Swakopmund to Maputo 2025


Time again to continue our exploration of Africa by Sea, which now takes us around the tip of the continent at Cape Agulhas and up the coast of South Africa to Mozambique’s marvellous Maputo, where we should find good anchorage in the bend of the Rio Espirito Santo (Umbuluzi) once we’ve cleared the 60m high Maputo - Katembe suspension bridge. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be glad to be sailing our comfortable and sturdy Xp-55, as we will certainly experience more headwinds!

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2025

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.
Our online version of the race will be a TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto try again after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
