Has the Sailonline race crashed?

[Dipper]

I entered a course change which didn't respond and then when I reloaded the race all I get is the end of the previous race. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

 

[fireball]

Yup - just tail end of previous race .....

 

[Dipper]

It's a pity that your last course was going to hit land in the next hour then.

Ah, well - there is method in that - cos I'm going into harbour to get flown back to the start - I can leave this boat there just incase anything breaks in the first section of the race - nip in and pick up a spare u see!! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[Dipper]

It's back on line. I reckon you have 20 mins before you're aground.

 

[Dipper]

Ouch! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[fireball]

Dropped spares off and picked up a few more beers..... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[Dipper]

How much damage to they give your boat for running aground?

 

[TigaWave]

There used to be a percentage drop which slowly returned not sure how much though, you can see it in the polar diagram window.

 

[Dipper]

I'm hoping Fireball can tell me if he's not too embarassed. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[fireball]

well i'm at 100% now

 

[fireball]

but as Fireball has now gone out for the evening who knows where he might end up

SWMBO to fireball

 

[Dipper]

Wow. He's allowed to 'play' on the computer AND you let him out.

I hope he appreciates you! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Not when she decides to navigate within sight of land ... not very good when that land is a little island and I come back to find she's been doing laps around it!!! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Ah well - better get it sorted so we can get the start sequence right at 12 tomorrow......

I've just found you, and see what you mean!

I don't feel so bad about going aground now /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Dipper]

I thought that was very good anchoring technique. Round up into the wind in the lee of the island and stop. Excellent.

Note how I have mentioned wash, wake shots and anchors in this forum already. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
