	To Rainbow Chaser:---As per promise, here is my design for the New AC 72 contender with "Ballasters" to keep it upright on one main foil and a rudder foil, both controlled, of course, to give a fixed 'ride height'. I am uploading this as a test of the system. If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy. Attachments AC72_Designed_by_Rod.JPG (48.0 KB)

	AHOY SOLers - the racing engine has been restarted. The DevtDudes are investigating the cause of the stoppage. Please keep an eye on race chat for more current updates.

	SCARA - sorry you had to chase by email, I was away from my computer for a while! Please would you try this (written by WIN yesterday): QUOTE PROCEDURE FOR ANTICIPATING DNS RESOLUTION WITHOUT WAITING FOR ISP TO RECYCLE VALID FOR WINDOWS USERS !! 1) open program NOTEPAD with admin rights 2) open going through following path : windows system32 drivers etc hosts 3) add following text lines at bottom of text file : 144.76.111.8 sailonline.org 144.76.111.8 www.sailonline.org 144.76.111.8 race.sailport.se 4) save file keeping same name (overwrite previous ) Note : some of the above lines may be redundant ...but it works.)))

	SCARA - hopefully someone with a Mac will come up with a suggestion for you. Sorry I can't be of more help.

	OK PROBLEM SOLVED ... (I'm a little hacker ...) For MAC Users: Step 1 - Open the Terminal.app Either by start typing Terminal on the Spotlight, or by going into Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal. Step 2 - Open the hosts file Open the hosts by typing on the Terminal That You have just opened: $ Sudo nano / private / etc / hosts Type your user Password when prompted. Step 3 - Edit the hosts file (DELETE the old DNS Sailonline, if present 97.107.135.234 sailonline.org 97.107.135.234 www.sailonline.org 97.107.135.234 node1.sailonline.org) add following text lines at bottom of text file: 144.76.111.8 sailonline.org 144.76.111.8 www.sailonline.org 144.76.111.8 race.sailport.se Step 4 - Save the hosts file When done editing the hosts file, press control-o to save the file.

	Wouldn't it be easier to just clear the DNS cache? Flush DNS Includes instructions for windows also. After that just restart browser. --- Last Edited by Jack Watson at 2013-09-21 17:54:39 ---

	"clear the DNS cache" didn't work (I have the old OSX 10.5.8) ...

	Clearing DNS cache won't work if you have hard-coded the sailonline server IP addresses during one of the DNS outages we have had during the recent years like apparently Scara has done. I hope that there is no need to that (I don't have the address hard-coded myself) but we are continuing with the same DNS provider (Loopia) as earlier. For non-tech people, DNS is sort of global phone book which tells where your computer connects with the address "sailonline.org". What now changed is the location of the server, thus we had to change our address in the "phonebook".

Neumayer Station to Biscoe Wharf 2024

It’s Autumn now in Antarctica, the sun is permanently below the horizon, but during the day, from c 0900 to c 1700 local time, there is some twilight – nautical twilight, not to be confused with civil twilight which is brighter. The penguins are starting to huddle together to keep warm and the sea ice is growing. Time to get back to Biscoe Wharf then, before the water becomes impassible. Including a detour past Argentina’s main two Antarctic stations, it’s only 1900nm, so, although we’ll be in a hurry, we will take the bigger, better ice-classed Paratii 2 once more, just to be sure!

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
