Brainaid's website went down yesterday, 30 December.

When contacted, he tried to restart his server but was unable to, so has submitted a ticket to his server provider.

As soon as he is able, he will restore its functionality.

I have the polar for 90ft monohull in two formats: "detailed data as csv" (90f_monohull.csv) and "qtVLM polar" (boat_90f_monohull.csv). I have the data for the steinlager polar, but I have yet to find a way to convert it into a useful format.
I can't supply the Wx GRIB files.

I converted the Steinlager polar into a csv file, thanks to Svein for emailing me the raw data.

Attached the csv file.

Please let me know if problems occur.

GW, Arthur

BRAINAID WEBSITE UPDATE

Brainaid's server provider had a major RAID array failure (i.e., the hard drive) and is having to rebuild.

There is no time to complete this - perhaps later today/tomorrow.

Please just keep trying to connect.

As an SOTP (Seat Of The Pants) SOLer my knowledge of the resources is strictly limited ... BUT:

POLARS

Polars in txt format are available within each race via the Info tab (blue questionmark tab).

GRIBs

I understand you can register with NOAA to download their files and there is a grib reader at zygrib

obviously those of you using routers will, probably, have other sources of file-data/info, so do please share these here!

Maybe you have to replace the . with a , in my csv file, depending on language/international settings in Excel.

Here is the detailed data as csv file for Steinlager II. Can be opened with spinnacer.
This file contains all data needed to create the other formats.

I see there's a qtVLM polar now, if there's any other format you'd like to have, give me an other polar in that format and I'll see what I can do.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Samoa to Hawaii


The second race of our new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, takes us northward again up the Pacific Ocean, now from Samoa at 13.5 degrees South, across the Equator to Hawaii, famed for its breaking surf and active volcanoes, on the edge of the Tropic of Cancer at 19.5 degrees North. It’s 2300nm, so we’ll take our very steady Steinlager II. Race #1982

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!

West Papua to Oregon 2026

Our next race in our Ocean Championships is the first of a series of great natural migrations we will track in 2026. The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed marine reptile on planet Earth, and chooses to breed in warm tropical waters, but prefers to forage in more temperate habitats, travelling thousands and thousands of miles effortlessly annually to maintain this way of life. Our race will follow one of the typical trips of this turtle, from breeding grounds in the seas off West Papua to the coast of Oregon. It’s only 5900nm, so to keep up, but in comfort, we’ll follow in our Gunboat 90.

Race to Up Helly Aa 2026

A-OI!!! The fiery spirit of Shetland’s legendary Up Helly Aa returns, and Sailonline’s annual race to Lerwick is once again upon us. Covering 383 nautical miles from Aberdeen, SOLers will tackle winter waters steeped in Viking tradition. This year, we race the classic Frers 33, a proven cruiser-racer born from the golden era of offshore racing and still a sturdy performer both on the virtual and real water. Can you master the course and reach Lerwick in time for the flames?

SAILING NOTE: Gruney may be approached from any direction but must be passed for rounding purposes as indicated on the chart.
