Posted by PerEric Horn Posts 37 Registered at 2008-04-19 09:36:58	2010-02-07 06:45:49 - Pics
	Hi! How do I add a photo in the label which pops upp when I tick on a pushpin, start dot, course line, etc.? Race four (150Nm) is now ready to launch. But I check, recheck and check again (very insecure), who check that I have done everything correct? Any e-mail address? In some cases is it impossible for me to follow your guide lines. 1. Position start and finish of longer races clear of immediate obstacles, as many players might want to use delayed commands. Either you race or not. What say´s that some don´t need DC´s in the middle of the race? No, this is NOT a good idea! 2. Fine-tune the Latitude and the Longitude. Almost impossible as my courses so far are located in very narrow waters. Fine tuning put the lines and pushpins on the "high way". 3. The finish line should be approximately perpendicular to the line between the last waypoint and the finish. This is just for lazy/late skippers who want to use DC and CC over the line. I think we should try to minimize the numbers of pushpins if possible instead. 4. The length of the finish line should be... Physical impossible in some of my races as the waters are too narrow. PS. I don´t want to flash all my mistakes on the Forum. I´m ready to share my courses via the Forum when I know I have done them properly. TheHorn

	IMHO the Caribbean Sprint can and should be re-run many times with preference starting early Fridays. That is a perfect race for a long snowy weekend. What a great race that is. Cheers, Antonio

	I also prefer archipelago races and Caribbean Sprint is one of them. If you like or prefer fairly short archipelago races, you should know that I have sent Inco four (4) races which I hope will be launched during the upcoming spring 2010.

	Ladys and Gents, What is the next race? I had family issues during the weekend and could not race the "Mini800NM part 2" and the "Figaro Transat" is too much for me to chew. So, I am sitting on the dock bored and longing for a race. Please any race, but a long long one. Thanks all, Antonio

Round Greenland 2024

Just as Skip Novak was embarking for Kamchatsky, Amyr Klink also quietly slipped his Antarctica moorings and by now Paratii 2 has reached Reykjavik, where he invites you to join him on Leg 5 of our High Latitudes Series, a full 3650nm circumnavigation of Greenland. The course is clockwise round, so down the North Atlantic to Cape Farewell, then up the Davis Strait into Baffin Bay and on into the Arctic Ocean proper, where, hopefully and certainly virtually, Paratii 2’s special ice-breaker features will get us thorough the summer ice out onto the Greenland Sea and back to Reykjavik. Stay warm!

San Francisco to Ushuaia 2024

After a superlong RTW-leg3 (27 days), we have had a month to recover, and maintain our boat, in order to continue our around the world race. Leg 4, even longer than the previous, takes us from California to the world's southernmost city Ushuaia. No waypoints, even "the Ditch" is an option, but maybe a bit too much of a treat. With 6300 nm to go, the estimated duration of this race 29 days. This course is also the August edition of our ocean race championship.
