    Re: Manila Race NOR
    Board » General Discussion
    Well. NOR is NOR. It can NOT be altered at chat. Chat is unformal and race can NOT be based on chat. On the other hand, it was very clear that the island MUST be left to port.
    Yes, we all make fun here. But there should be at least some respect to the ones who take the official notices seriously.

    Manila Race NOR
    Board » General Discussion
    NOR of Manila race, clearly states that Mindaro island MUST be left to port. I have not seen any change on this. And a lot of boats left the island on starboat and finish the game. Also, how can a boat finishes by passing the finish line through the opposite direction?

    Re: distance to go

    That's my point. I am sailing to nearly the same direction. Visually I am forwarding down on my course, but dtg is still 370 miles longer than my yesterday's distance.

    Thanks for the reply. My understandings :
    1- in 24 hours being located 380 miles behind a day before position is normal. No matter you sail continuously the same direction to the finish line.
    2- Better to use other tools rather than the information to be provided by the system.

    I am sure it's true:) But, I still belive there is a serious calculation mistake done by the system which leads some part of the fleet to go to the wrong direction.

    I am afraid this doesn't reply my question. Distance to the leader can vary due to the several reasons. My questions is to the increasing distance to finish line, although I am sailing in the same direction.

    distance to go
    Board » Technical Support
    Yesterday at 13:00 UTC my distance to go was 11.860 miles. Today at 07:30 I have 12.252 miles although I kept sailing the same direction. How can this be possible?

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.
