	Love the new extended predictors. Thanks @ij. One small suggestion: Hourly indicators are open circles. Perhaps fill every 6-hourly circle to make a large dot. This would help in interpreting the longer predictors. The longer predictors will be really helpful when training up those new to SOL. The curly-whirly patterns can be very instructive.

	I really like @Zorba's idea of merging the 'steering' and 'DC' tabs. Maybe allow for 8-10 lines of DCs bacause if anyone is using more then they are probably using other tools to generate them. It would also help to be able to set an actual time rather than just a delay period.

	A big thank you for all the improvements @ij. A couple very minor features in the boat ranking list I sometimes found useful in the flash version: 1) Ability to change the width of the columns, i.e. Name. 2) Return to the same boat ranking location. For example, in the main (or custom) list, after moving the list down, the boat at the top is #5 (not #1). Then, after returning to the list, #5 is still at the top.

	Stable version of the client was updated today (2020-10-05). Long list of changes: - Longer predictor (up to 48h, see settings) - Relocate weather navigation buttons next to each other - Month is now textual in date instrument to avoid interpretation ambiguities - Thicker line for the downwind (when wind cursor lines are in use) - Improved visibility of some text fields on map (to avoid unreadable mess when TWS/TWD values are enabled) - 10m x 10m box to show scale when using extra zoom (can be disabled in settings) - Improve ranking tab sort order, sort secondarily based on ranking - Ranking tab includes DBL column for fleet races (please don't report those minor inconsistencies in the numbers, it's not a bug in the client) - Added "race boundary" labels to help newcomers - Use white text for instruments in night/dark mode - Remove duplicated labels when the same mark is used more than once for the race course - Limit TWS contours density with far-away zoom levels to improve performance - Coordinate instruments obey the coordinate format in settings - Prevents another fleet boat from showing up as own fleet boat - Fix boat key (boat label on map) wrap issues - Various clock synchronization improvements that are triggered if local clock is off by more than 2 minutes from the time on the server

	Great update. People (including me) like the long predictor line. Just a small suggestion: 1- I don't think there is any need to display the small 15 minute dots beyond the first 6 (or 12 hours). I would even go to display only one dot every 3 (or 6 hours) after the first 6 (or 12 hours), that will make it easier to see. Now it becomes like one very thick line on zoom outs. Some people seem to ask even longer predictor. While it probably doesn't have much use (other than see expected upcoming wind variability), why not give them 72 or 96 hours, as long as it can be chosen in the options... For SOTP solers it may be useful in at least some races. --- Last Edited by Zorba777 at 2020-10-06 14:59:11 ---

	Hi all, I've just updated the dev version with lots of changes. It is possible to enable DC-aware predictor already, however, there are a few caveats. The DC-aware predictor does not consider performance losses at turns correctly. Initial performance is consider correctly like previously, however, when firing any DC, the performance gets beamed up to 100% and remains there for the remaining predictor length. In addition, the calculation only runs with 30s accuracy wrt. boat movement. There is now BBQ warning sound and a few new ruler related buttons that were requested. Some changes are (should be) user invisible library updates but they might introduce new problems (or bring back vanishing fleet problem which has caused me to hold back one particular library update). -- i.

	Ciao ij, one question: would it be possible to extend the Isochrone Calculator to 168 hours as you have already done for the Predictor(s) length? Thanks. Carlo ALberto

Jakob's Birthday BBQ Race 2024

Sailonline had two founders and Jakob, the more senior of the two, has his birthday in April which we always like to celebrate with a race through the Stockholm Archipelago from Revengegrundet Lighthouse to his mooring at Baggensfjärden. Traditionally also, like other celebrations this time of year, this feast has been “moveable”, so on this occasion we will be racing on a Wednesday in one of our latest high-performance 40-footers, the Carkeek 40. Please join us then for this always tricky 30nm race. Grattis på födelsedagen Jakob!

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!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER. This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024

Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.
