You know.... the online racing thing?
If so, I'm Bootscooter.... feel free to add me to your list. Perhaps we can find a Forum Virtual Racing Champion...

I've just joined as rwoofer, but have no idea what I'm supposed to do. Seems the only thing I can adjust is the boat heading, but no idea what is a good upwind angle for these boats and therefore what is a good direction. Searched google and all leads to the forum which has been down for me.
Anyone care to give me the basics.....

Jumped 20000 places by actually getting moving. Suspect the other 86000 places will be harder..... So do you know how this game works? All I did was bear off 40 degrees to the wind from 30 and that got me going. Don't actually know what are the tacking angles of Open 60s.

the controls on the left of the screen should enable you to judjr angle vs speed. In the current conditions I reckon 40deg is about right. Bear in mind that this'll change with wind strength, both up and down.
