Tour du Groenland

[smiticks42]

Based on an idea of some of you, we propose you a new annual « slippery » challenge, that is to say that the results of more than one will be automatically erased.

The boat : Ultime2019

Cells will be 1°

The route :



After your departure from Qaqortoq you will have to validate the three buoys East, North and West before to go back to Qaqortoq, a distance of about 3.600milles.

For the three buoys there is nor order of passage or direction of passage.

This proving to be a bit of a bastard...only 7 finishers so far

[smiticks42]

Tss tss Glenn, soon there will be 8 finishers ;

This challenge was set up only two weeks ago.. this is the holiday for many people, there have been several withdrawal and this is probably not the best season to make very good times.

Fair winds everyone, this can help

Yes Andre, I have one aborted attempt already. As you finish, I am trying again. Not many of the Atlantic or Northen Hemisphere races are good this time of year.

What has happened to the wind east of 30 degrees West ?

Hello Glenn, sorry for the delay

It's all ok for the whole wind area, perhaps you may have a visualization problem with your browser.

Remember to empty the cache from time to time.

Hmm I have tried but still the same. No problem, i realise i cannot see the wind outside areas, so will avoid them.

What projection are you using Glenn? This problem occurs to me sometimes when I use the Mercator view (rectangular cells) but not when I use the square cells. The wind is still buggy in the Mercator view.

The polars used for this challenge were increased yesterday by 5%, so we're now using an Ultime 2024 as in the Brest Ultim Challenge.
