2015-06-29 15:34:55 - Wish list.

2 - Graphical tool for, at least, measure distances from boat and angles.

Thank you Zappe!

Just uploaded a new version to the play store:

0.50
Added weather update info when logging in to a race and after a weather update.
Added info about the weather, angle and distance to the aim point in steering mode.

If you ever want to install an older version for any reason all versions are available from here:

zappe - absolutely loving the App. Thank you so much for creating it. It save me from extra hours of steaming E in the last Tall Ships race as I could put in an emergency course correction as I woke!!

Is there a way you can include the in-race messages too? perhaps as an option in your drop-down menu? I know they aren't in every race but when they are, it's usually to give useful/good info that folks relying on the App will miss.

2015-08-05 16:17:12 - Buttons switch suggestion.
Buttons switch suggestion.

Following several catastrophically bad commands with the app my suggestion is to switch the positions of the “CC” button with the “*” one - pls see attached PDF file.

Again, thank you Zappe.

2015-08-08 10:58:38 - Mad CC’s changing during button “*” operation.
Mad CC’s changing during button “*” operation.

Sometime ago during a SPRT race I’ve noticed that during the “*” button operation the sailed CC at the time would change to CC+ 180º.
If you didn’t notice that “subtle” change before making a HDG’s correction on the boat (using for that precise maneuver the mentioned “*” button) you would obtain a dreadful maneuver.

Today, during my first Lisboa TR run I’ve experienced the same problem.
Please see the images mounted on the attached PDF file.
From an initial sailed CC = 98.40º, some seconds after activating the “*” button the CC went to 278.40º without touching anything, namely the screen’s phone.

Nuisance.

Hi everyone and sorry for not looking into the forum for some time.

Just found out about the ZigZag race problem. It was caused by "bad/unexpected" data from the server where both the last waypoints had the same ordering number and that caused the app to drop the last one. I will change the app so it can handle simple mistakes like that in the future.

JB: About the switch of the buttons I think it's a good idea so if no one objects I will do that in the next release. About the "graphical tool" not working in the bora bore race. I wasn't in that race so I didn't see it and I have no idea why it happened. I guess I will have to look out for similar problems in the future.

Dear Zappe

The problem I reported for the Beru to Bora-Bora race is the same as the one we are having now on Hawai race. Pls login with the app and try to get wind info with the graphical tool.

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.

Red Eye - Hobart Convict Run 2026

Back in 2010, one of our SOLers of the first hour, AUS_Scott76, came up with this ‘Convict Run’ out from Hobart, past Cape Raoul and the penal colony of Port Arthur, round Tasman Island, up and back down the east coast of Tasmania, to finish with a tight technical run – so Scott called it – up the picturesque D'entrecasteaux Channel, home to Hobart once again. It’s 250nm, ideal for a bit of ‘Red Eye’ in comfortable Finngulf 43’s, and if the original idea was to pick up some convicts on the way for a bit of R&R and sea air, you may always drop’m back before returning to Hobart!

New Ice Age 2026 - Longyearbyen to Browerville


Although we have by no means exhausted the possibilities of ice boating on lakes at high latitudes or high altitudes, it was noticeable that as our 2025 Series progressed, there were calls from time to time for longer-distance challenges, and so in response to these calls we will pretend that global warming has reversed and as a result the coastal waters of Antarctica and Russia and Canada have fully (and smoothly!) frozen over offering us the possibility of a 4-race New Ice Age series in our trusted no-PL DN machines. Our first leg takes us 2600nm from Svalbard’s Longyearbyen east to North Alaska’s Browerville. You’ll be a few days on the ice, so dress warmly and take some provisions; go!
