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.

Melbourne to Osaka 2023
Welcome to Melbourne for Sailonline's alternative version of the Melbourne to Osaka Double Handed Yacht Race - a 5000 nautical miler. This year again we're racing the RP-66, but the route is unlimited what comes to waypoints. Because the IRL version does not run this year, we took the freedom to make our own route!
It could be a long race, east or west, and of course some doldrums to negotiate!

Sinbad Seeks Spices 2023
Having surveyed Arabia, Sinbad Al-SOL’er next invites you to race him on his second of seven epic voyages to every corner of the Indian Ocean and beyond, this time to seek spices in Zanzibar, departing from Xaafun, a trading post on the tip of the Horn of Africa since the days of the Mycenaeans and on through Roman times to the Nights of 1,001 of AL-Sail’or, Al-SOL’er’s illustrious ancestor. SOLing by the sun and the stars, aka seat-of-the-pants, the voyage will take you east as far as Praslin island, south as far as Anjouan, to Zanzibar’s Unguja for all things spices, but only back as far as Mogidishu – another exhausting 3000nm adventure, this time in Reichel/Pugh 66s.
