    Hi dyflin!
    On page 10 I was requesting something similar. I definately think the zoom should be ahead of the boat. Here is my request again...

    I'd like a separate "Zoom 6 hour" button that centers to the 3 hour point of the 6 hour line and automagically zooms to fill the 6 hours in the window. I ALLWAYS zoom in on my boat and then immediately pan twards that point anyway. If not a separate button then ctrl-clicking the "center to boat" button could perhaps have this feature.

    What about a race where you don't know the weather forecast. Just the current weather? It could run on old weather data.

    Or a long race on old weather data that is speeded up 200 times together with the speed of the boat so that the race is over during two hours. No time for fine tuning, just sailing on intuition. Wouldn't that be fun?

    So, any more thoughts on a Sailonline gathering at the "Alt för sjön" exhibition?

    There was some talk on the chat about it in the Stlm-S:t P. race

    I think I will visit the exhibition Sat March 8.

    It is nice with the new measurement tool, even if you loose the lines when you switch tool. Would it be possible to make these lines stay longer until you erase them?

    What I also would like to have is a parallel ruler and an angle ruler. In most races I have been using papers for drawing angles to be used in the performance plot so that I can find the tangent point on the current wind curve for best course at the moment (not only the VMG). The problem is that this ruler must be floating on top of the performance plot window and it must be free so that you can rotate the ruler (or the performance plot) to align the angle correctly. The red line with the calculated position for every hour at current speed is only part of what I use my paper rulers for. There is no end to what different kind of rulers can help me with in the calculation process. After each race I end up with lots of wasted papers :-(

    Actually a virtual translucent paper layer with a simple line drawing pen that can freely be moved and rotated on top of the different windows would actually be the best tool.

    ...and perhaps current speed. Or perhaps it's not so good for taktics. What do you think?

    About the website. Would it be possible to add the cordintes for each boat so it is easier to find them in the client?

    Talking about visualization... Could the server make screen shots every five minutes and put together a movie over the race to playback when the race is over. That would be very interesting. Let the view automatically zoom so that the 50 first boats are seen in the view. I thought about having Camtasia make screen captures from my own client every five minutes, but I don't have a spare computer for this at the moment. I need to zoom in on my own boat all the time and the view must pan with the boats.

    Arrrgh!!! It has happened to me several times now. I try to delay my new course so I put in a new delay value and hit the button, but forgot to also mark the delay check box. This totally messes up my planning and gives me a penalty performance drop twice since I have to tack back again.

    My suggestion is that the check box is beeing removed and if the delay time is more than 0.0 then there will be a delay. Each time you hit the send button the time will be resetted to 0.0 again. There is no need for two GUI elements for this in my opinion.

    Another thing that I would like is the abiliyt to use the mouse wheel for weather progress even if the focus is in the main window off from the weather progress bar. It would also be nice if it was possible to zoom with the right mouse button (up + down -)

Great Bear Ice Race 2025


You can fly to Great Bear Lake Airport, but if the ice is good, instead hire a pick-up truck, load your disassembled DN into the cargo bed and drive, first following the McKenzie River north, and then straight across the lake to the start of our final Ice Boat series race of roughly 100nm in length. The Airport authorities have agreed to leave all lights on, so you should just about be able to see where you are going as you zing and rumble, PL-free over the ice!

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!

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!
