Re: Feature request, what would you like to add....

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 -)

Neumayer Station to Biscoe Wharf 2024

It’s Autumn now in Antarctica, the sun is permanently below the horizon, but during the day, from c 0900 to c 1700 local time, there is some twilight – nautical twilight, not to be confused with civil twilight which is brighter. The penguins are starting to huddle together to keep warm and the sea ice is growing. Time to get back to Biscoe Wharf then, before the water becomes impassible. Including a detour past Argentina’s main two Antarctic stations, it’s only 1900nm, so, although we’ll be in a hurry, we will take the bigger, better ice-classed Paratii 2 once more, just to be sure!

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!
