Out Of Trim

Out of Trim - The password field is case sensitive so, at first glance, I would suggest maybe you are mis-typing what you picked for your password?

Anyway... I have reset your password and will now send it to you via PPRuNe Message! I can log in as you no problem!!

Remember also that your username is case sensitive!

Now you can log in to SOL and change your password to what you want!

If problems persist, then maybe try a different browser?

I was up to 47th place at one point and doing quite well. Until I found myself in Barcelona harbour.

CS-DDO

Somebody give me a clue where and how you all are racing, signed on this morning and the site claimed that race start had been delayed until Wenesday. Am I even at/on the right site?

con-pilot - howdy! The Volvo Ocean Race does not start until Saturday, 5 November.

In this post I have mentioned another option for sailing around the world. Over on Sailonline there is also another race, totally unconnected with VOR, that started today - a fun, short race through islands in the Stockholm archipelago - which is open for registration and racing.

SO... if anyone wants to try Sailonline there is ample opportunity to practise for the round the world race as well as to take part in a short race (in a Seacart rather than a VO70!)

The list of PPRuNers going to race round the world as a PPRuNe Flotilla on Sailonline is listed here.

con-pilot on the VOR the around Mallorca race is on. On SOL currently racing around the Swedish archipelago.

CS-DDO

BEaufort1,
I must be on another race...i'm sailing from alicante (spain) to cape town, via Brazil...

This on SOL,

are there several parallel races?? I didn't choose anything...i thought the one i'm on was the only race.

I'm tinkering with VOR, running late and approaching PMI.

1. is there a complete guide to the on screen display anywhere?

2. how does one gain credit ? 1000$ is surely not enough even for the highest skilled

con-pilot

Okay, on the SOL site and heading for the Strait of Gibraltar. Now, is this the right one?

beaufort1

Ok, for CS-DDO and con-pilot yes, you're on the right one, you are currently practice racing as the start for this race is on the 5th Nov. You've both successfully registered for the race and one hour before the start the practice stops and the computer puts you back on the start line ready for the off. On the home page underneath that race there is a race in progress called Mistli's BBQ Birthday Race 2011. Myself and 'rainbow chaser' are coming up to the finish. This is the one through the Stockholm archipelago.

con-pilot

Thank you beaufort1, I somehow feel,,,,,,,,,,complete now.

CS-DDO

Oh, I get it...

Thanks!!

my boat's BRAVINI on SOL,

Groundbased

I'm getting into this a bit now.

I'm on VOR doing the pre race, although I'm slightly confused as to why I'm doing over 20kmh on the upwind leg when boats ahead of the wind are going slower? Surely shouldn't be the case?

Also im currently on a collision course with another boat, do collisions occur? I can't believe all the boats are visible on screen so must be happening all the time

brockenspectre

CS-DDO - gottit!

tinpis - yeppers that name rings a bell.. are you going to join in the PPRuNe Flotilla on Sailonline ?

BombayDuck

Now I'm confused... I've registered at VOR but all the hip folk are moving to SOL?
