Re: the great historical roads

Board » Sailonline Race Committee » Race proposals

I would prefer a modern boat (as I wrote it in my post ;=) ).
Orange could be a good choice for all these routes.
The 90' mono too.
But not the mini 6.50. :+))

the great historical roads

Board » Sailonline Race Committee » Race proposals

I'd liked SOL would invite us on the great nautical roads, these commercial roads which were sailed by clippers and even bigger sailboats with four or five masts. Those roads which now are becoming record roads sailed by giant multihulls.
I'm speaking about :
-road of gold : New York to San Francisco.
- road of Guano : Valparaiso to Le havre.
- road of cafe : Brasil to Le Havre.
- road of the : China to London.
- road of Discovery : Cadix - Grand Canaria - San Salvador.
(I have a preference for Valparaiso to Le Havre, because my grandfather sailed it).
These races could be done on Orange or a VOR70 or a 90' mono.

Re: rounded and disrounded

Board » General Discussion

For example, the Round Britain : place another buoy more south close to the coast and the debate is closed.

Re: rounded and disrounded

Board » General Discussion

I was surprised to see that my rounded buoy was disrounded later. But it's logical with the new rules, to avoid that type of course. If I had known the rules I wouldn't have done that.
But I completely agree with the precedent posts. If you really want people to take a specific route it's more simple to place more marks.
Last thing : as Gilles, I don't understand the necessity of such a rule. I wasn't there when the subject was discussed, but I really don't understand. Everybody should be free to take the way he wants, as long as the marks are "rounded". Isn't it supposed to be a strategy and routing game? Or a little train behind Brainaid?

It works now. That's stupid, but I guess it wasn't working only because I wasn't registered in any race.

Re: problem with ruler tool

Discovered I have no problem with Safari. So, the problem comes from Firefox (3.6 for Intel Mac).

problem with ruler tool

Board » Technical Support

I cannot quit anymore ruler tool with a double clic. I have to clic onto the icon again and consequently cannot put a course onto the map.

Sinbad Braves the Bay of Bengal 2023
“Sinbad, you sorry sailor, why have you not told me of this great sea, this giant bay, stretching hundreds of thousands of qasbah east of Al-Hindi to fabled lands where tea and rice and rubber is abundant?” and Sinbad replied “Ahh, umm, shall I go have a look. May I take the Judel Vrolijk 62 again, it’s going to be a long voyage, perhaps a million and one half qasbah (c 3000nm)? I’ll start in Chittagong and follow the coast to the southern tip of the Hindus’ land, round Serendip, head east into the vastness of the seas, and if I’m lucky (no pun intended, oh Mighty One) I shall find land again and then head north and see where I end up”. “Fair winds, Sinbad”, said the Sultan.

Maryland to Alaska 2023
Welcome to this September edition of 2023 OCCH. This route was first sailed in 2020. At the time it was inspired by Matt Rutherford's single-handed Red Dot Expedition around the Americas in 2012, SOLer Renegade proposing a half-around from Maryland over the North into the Pacific and back through the Panama Canal, in 5 legs, 5 years later. Leg 2 across the North West Passage proved to be particularly challenging and so to create a proper Ocean Race, SRC combined Leg 2 with Leg 1 to give you a race of at least 4000nm from Maryland to Alaska, now to be sailed in our magnificent Archer 78.
