    Any chance of a non flash version that would run on the iPad?
    Or a new mini client HD?

    Schakel, thanks for the link. I still couldn't get it done on the mac so I powered up an old pc and got it to work. Just my luck that the servers I'm connected to are the last refresh.

    Kalle, no complaints here. No different than blowing out a chute, breaking a rudder, etc. in RL. At least I know have something to blame my poor performance on!! :)

    I had access at home this am but at work now and I can't get into the race. Is there a problem again or is just something at my end? I'm in the USA and on a Mac (so the PC suggestion was not helpful).

    I too had a problem with my delayed DC course start. Also beached a couple times due to DC not working. Just assumed I did something wrong.

    Thanks.
    Just so you know, as I was approaching the line I was sending repeated 1 degree course changes to pinch up to the line...

    regards

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
