Sailing and what's nuts in SecondLife. Saturday, May 16, 2015. The thrill is gone. The thrill is gone. All that's left is Lucille and a load of wonderful blues songs. 17 May, 2015 11:02.

Noodles logbook: Virtual Sailing
http://noodleqt.blogspot.com/p/virtual-sailing.html
Sailing and what's nuts in SecondLife. Is virtual sailing in SL ready for reality? Some people say no, arguing that SL is technically not good enough. Some people feel the rules are too complicated. They regard Virtual Sailing as a separate and distinct discipline somewhere between bumperboats and real sailing. Some say it is close, and it will get better. I say, have a look at the photos. 15 seconds after start. Rounding the top mark, Smiley in front. Choose the right side of the course, because else.

Noodles logbook: The missing boatshow post
http://noodleqt.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-missing-boatshow-post.html
Sailing and what's nuts in SecondLife. Sunday, February 24, 2013. The missing boatshow post. Here's a few of those missing shots from the liveaboard boatshow. Back in october 2012. I've been writing so much about the Laser, I thought this would be a nice little change. Cotton Blossom II and Bandit 27. The finish of the Cotton Blossom is - or was at the time of it's launch - pretty much unmatched. It's really too bad Balduin Aabyes Yacht Design closed. Loonettas on the loose. Regardless, the Loonetta is e...

Noodles logbook: The lighthouse post
http://noodleqt.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-lighthouse-post.html
Sailing and what's nuts in SecondLife. Thursday, November 7, 2013. There are so many lighthouses in this virtual world. Way too many. Not that I don't like them, but some places they're flocking. Some of them are beautiful in their own respect, some are beautiful replicas of real world lighthouses, and some are just plain ugly. This first example is from Tradewinds, Dex, where the lighthouse population has exploded lately. South of Tradewinds, across Siracusa, there is the Wicktro lighhouse. South of Hal...

Noodles logbook: Stuff
http://noodleqt.blogspot.com/p/bu.html
Sailing and what's nuts in SecondLife. Usefull stuff for boatbuilders and virtual sailors. First some stuff from SL. Further down some explanations about stuff in the real world. Racelines, timers, start procedure, buoys, windsetters, windgetters, shadowing. in RL and in SL. This is only the beginning. The racelines shout the remainding time to start in unixtime on channel -8001. This is what you need to know in order to make an onboard racetimer or an automated flag and gun system. 5 - gun class flag up.

Noodles logbook: Folkboat sailing
http://noodleqt.blogspot.com/2015/06/folkboat-sailing.html
Sailing and what's nuts in SecondLife. Friday, June 26, 2015. This is just a short notice on Folkboat sailing. It is amazing. Anas new Folkboat is fast reacting, very lively, not too easy but superfun to sail. On top of that she is also super pretty, but that's beside the point. It's the sailing that makes this boat stand out from the crowd. Folkboat sailing is super fun. Ahh, isn't that where we all wanna go? Noodle says hi and behave :-). Please leave an identifiable name when commenting). There are so...

Noodles logbook: RSSL and more
http://noodleqt.blogspot.com/p/rssl.html
Sailing and what's nuts in SecondLife. For those of us dreaming of a real sailing simulation, a friendly and informal community, realistic boats and full ISAF ROW rules, I've set up the group RSSL, Real Sailing in SL. The group has no formal organisation, no power structures, no agenda, it is not a yacht club, and it does not compete with anything else I've seen inworld. Sailing is a state of mind, a way of living. Joining this group is a statement of a state of mind. In pursuit of realism. We just had s...

Noodles logbook: Turn up the heat please
http://noodleqt.blogspot.com/2015/06/turn-up-heat-please.html
Sailing and what's nuts in SecondLife. Monday, June 1, 2015. Turn up the heat please. After the coldest may I have ever experienced. Please, dear powers that may be: Turn up the heat. I really need some genuine sunny sailing weather. Kinda like this:. Nah Nothing beats real wind, real salt stains and real waves. Sometimes I am thinking, why am I not living in Provence? 01 June, 2015 22:36. My wife feels the very same way. Shes a bad Swede. Wont even come to the ice rink with me. 03 June, 2015 07:34.

Noodles logbook: Real Sailing
http://noodleqt.blogspot.com/p/real-sailing.html
Sailing and what's nuts in SecondLife. So, - what does real sailing imply? Standard ISAF rules, a realistic racing course, a full featured boat, sailgeeks and a yachtclub. That's about it. It is not like you need to read the whole rulesbook. No way. Part two will do for the most part. The rest is special stuff dedicated to judges, jurys, kiteboarders, surfers, RC boats and what nuts. Never mind that. Know part two: When boats meet, and you're in pretty good shape. Looks real enough for real rules, right?
