Mine are retired  :}

Actually, I found it just took up too much time, so not going to race again.

Likewise, also our works web software has now started to block any game type program so I can not access it in my lunch for course corrections.., saying that I might try it from home but do not rate my chances

Like others I found it took up too much time and like The long build I could not access it from work, so any course corrections were too late and I always found myself aground somewhere.

Just looked at it and not going to do the race but might try the pirates one, although as mentioned I can not check up in the day so looks like i Might get sunk many times..

It was an interesting pastime and the banter was entertaining.
The wind change times of twice a day - every day - is too much and begins to interfere with real life (and that does not include the inumerable times you have to log in throughout the day, to make minor corrections)
I've played quite a few various online games during the past year and ALL of them (without exception) require a time committment relative to the amount of success you desire.
The much hyped VORG sailing race starts in September 2011 (I think) so as the nights will be drawing in again, I might have a go at that.
Otherwise, I'm going to be outdoors enjoying the summer.
