For the first time ever Gotland runt was delayed one day due to strong winds, gusting 30m/s (~60kt).

Official website: https://www.ksss.se/en/gotlandrunt/

You can follow the live tracker here: https://gotlandrunt.skippo.se/

There are live streams here https://www.youtube.com/@ksssfilmer/streams and summerings with English subs.

The first start is 30m in on the 2.15h live stream, the different classes then starts 10 min apart. There are a lot of nice sailing videos here, even if you don't know the language.

If you don't know what Gotland runt is, here is a short summery:

200 boats starts at Stockholm, sail around Gotland and then back to Stockholm again. The sizes vary from 8m (27ft) to 30m (100ft), both monohull and multihull. Two handicap systems are used; SRS and ORCi (most are sailing under the SRS rules). Participants are everything from pros with tons of experience to people new to racing.

I’m a software engineer who got obsessed with sailing software and electronics, and I would love to build something on the side which helps fellow sailors like myself.

Seriously, what’s the things that annoy you the most about existing softwares and/or electronics?

Super curious!

I was at the Maritime Museum in St. Michael's Maryland this week, looking through their old boats.

I'd always sort of associated sailing with Moby Dick and pirates and all of that, but reading about skipjacks and the like I realize those are the real ancestors of my boat. I bet there are all kinds of sub 30ft working boats all around the world that have a lot in common with what I do.

Both skipjacks and my catalina have a sloop rig, both about 30 feet long. Both sailed single hand or with one or two crew. Skipjacks spent their days sailing in circles on the Chesapeake, much like I do. They had simple sails, and were very common, just like a catalina is very common.

Big exploring vessels, like I used to look up to, aren't really like my boat at all. Square sails, dozens of crew, long boats to row them up the channels, yardarms and internal ballast.

I don't know, this felt sort of significant to me when I realized it. Those big exploring boats were as close to me as big gray navy warships are today. Sort of the same kingdom (boat), but different phylum, class, nowhere near the same family.

See:

https://www.npr.org/2025/06/28/nx-s1-5446120/defense-department-cuts-hurricane-ice-weather-satellite

I am concerned this will really cause issues. If we are losing crucial data, how will that affect weather routers and passage planning? Will crossings now be more dangerous? Will local weather and winds be less reliable?

Edit" My point in posting this is that NOAA uses that data in hurricane forecasting and is now no longer able to use that satellite data. It doesn't loose all data as it still has other satellites, just defense department data, which could affect reliability of forecasts."

Edit 2: A number of people posted that they couldn't trust NPR as a news source. I think this is crazy, but the same information below is from Fox News: (Not sure how long the article will remain in its current format, but it does also raise concerns about this change.)

See:

EDIT 3

The following blog from a meteorologist explains the real concerns with this loss of data.
