DJsickboy Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Not me thats for sure!! Hey Lexx, you going east of Taiwan? Martinmac, that looks like a pain in the arse!! I am loving this game but hitting land does screw yer chances... hmmm next leg will be fun.. Jay Quote
Lexx Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 gunna try and dodge those pesky fishing fleets up the Formosa Strait.....should be interesting! Quote
Chris`I Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Who said sailing was easy Its only because I didnt check it over the weekend I need a turbo baby! What happens if I create a second boat, where would that start? Do they dump you in the middle of the field to start? Quote
martinmac Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 This is going well. I am up to 53599th 47813rd now 37552nd 28884th today Quote
Stew Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Looks like Lexx has stopped for a cocktail! Quote
Shuck Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Just joined. My boats name is "The Flying Zed" bit corney but its all I could think of this early in the morning! Currently in 67566th place but that is going to drop rapidly. My only boat experience is sitting in a dinghy in a swimming pool when I was younger on holiday Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 66665th was making a good 14 knots headway, but wind has changed un favourably, and i wasn't able to make the tack angle i wanted, damn weather predictions. well i'm hopefully gaining on lexx anyway. Quote
DJsickboy Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I wonder how long they will continue this leg for? I mean they cant wait for everyone surely? I reckon I will get to the destination sometime after next weekend at this rate!! Lexx has stopped for a bit of fishing I reckon. Jay Quote
martinmac Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 Next leg starts on Feb the 12th so you have time.No wind up here for a few hours during the night so lost a few places. Quote

martinmac Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 Top left. The upper figure is the wind speed, the next down is your speed Quote
Chris`I Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Right, I've given up. I've restarted with "The Fair Lady 2". Put me back in a bit more contention now I havent been mored up for a weekend Confusingly. although my old boat is further from the finish, it has a higher place! How does the ranking work?! Quote

How does the ranking work?! although your racing against other boats, think of it more like a rally, with different stages and your racing against the clock, your score will be affected by the distance from the finish, and how far off the race line you are. and the speed at which you complete the stage.

Stew Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 My office is all racing now too! My boss had it on one of the 52" screens in my office today...... Quote
