100000 - that is a lot of boats. How do you all want to squeeze round horn.
All spinnakers up and you would stop the trade winds.

I signed up too and I love it! There is now 200 000 people playing! I started a small community on thevirtualsailor_com Come and say hi!!! I would love to debate the different strategies to go across the indian ocean!

All virtualregatta lovers, see you soon!

Cool, but where's the English option?

[thevirtualsailor]

Thanks for checking it out! At the bottom left of the page, there is a dropdown menu that says "francais". You can switch that to "English". And also, half the forums are in English, the other in French... It is still under constuction though... I hope to see you on thevirtualsailor_com soon!

I'm racing as ClearView. It's fun, there are a few local sailors (and stinkpotters) I know doing it, and we have a great time 'competing' and congratulating each other on successful and commiserating with each other on failed strategies.

Seems almost all of my stratagies are failing lately
