I haven't been able to pick sails since the start, auto-sails appears to be stuck on.

Boat is Stephen_1987

 
I'm desperately trying to get west of that front, hopefully in  5-6 hours... 1.png

Only lost 150k places in the process so far, I hope it pays out later

I'm just working my way through that at the moment, hopefully I don't stuff it up and lose too much time.

If you have a Full Pack, Autosails are always on and you can't turn them off.  Driftwood is running without the FP.  I don't have an answer for his question, though.  It could be worth checking the VR forum.  I think there's a thread about Autosails issues.

 
Thanks that’s a good idea. slept 8hrs last night only lost 10.000 . Problem is now restarting the auto sails at 1 am. I’ll Just have to leave it off in some stable conditions to move the reset to a more civilized time. Thinking about the real boats this is nothing like what they go through...

Starting to play with the game UN router..a check on Zezo maybe... it’s free, left side of the game screen. One of these days I’ll log into google and get the zezo extension.

man ok mom how do I find the game forum in the app or is it only on a web window at their site? I did send a bug report me and 650000 others should do it too..

 Looks like the western edge of the fleet is tacking over to catch the down wind side of theta. I'm just hoping I got a shot to catch it further east, but not too far east. I'm projected to be at their Lat. in about 9 hrs. and around 130NM east.

Strange to see theta move east like that. Must be the late session nature of things. as the cold air up north is pushing further  south faster now. Could be a shake out for the real fleet. Alex in Boss saw 50 knots in that little front we just skirted.

And do we want one? I don't even know how it works but it could be interesting
I don't think a team for just one event would be worth it, apart from some people already being in other teams. The other option would be the selection of a yacht club like we did previously. As far as i remember we selected one with a SA abbreviation since VR didn't like the creation of a virtual one.

Depending on destination in zezo the routing either goes west of Theta (e.g. for Fernando de Noronha), east of Theta  (destination a little east of FdN) or right through is. Thank god for virtual boats and no damage or breakage model in VR :)
