Re: Email to Commodore McIrvine RORC re action against SOL, 9 August 2009

Board » General Discussion

Well done Rainbow - very well written and you could tell that it came from the heart. I too felt saddened that we were forced to cease sailing yesterday. I logged onto the VR site & was amazed to see how much they were charging for each add-on. I was also one of those ghost boats after just one leg of the VORG (I couldn't take it there anymore sailing blind)- SOL is so much better in my opinion. I live in Cork, so maybe instead of a F---N-- (is it trademarked?)race, we could race to Cork & back .

I still have reservations on the DNF points given. Should someone who made a huge effort for the last 5 weeks on Leg 5 but finished in the bottom half of the race be given more points than someone who just set a course on a Saturday race & then didn't check it again?
btw, my husbands 4th higest race in the rankings is one that he didn't even register for.
I got more points for a DNS & DNF than I did coming 317 in leg 4.
It just doesn't seem right

Hi all

I'd just like to hear comments on the new ranking system.
I don't understand why points are given on a DNS or even on a DNF. It seems to award no effort.
Also, it was nice to see the dates of the races shown in the old system - maybe we could have something set up when we click our profiles to show the races we've done in date order & the points given.
However, at least the new system seems to show the latest top winners at a more correct place in the rankings, which is good.
I'm new to all this so other peoples views would be great to hear.
Thanks all

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
