	Ok, one solutions is of course to support us by joining SYC - with the bonus that the SYC ad completely disappears =)

	Hi Kalle As a SYC member myself, I have a problem with ur reply to Bugsie re SYC advert on polar screen, when u said quote to solve the problem join SYC, this is not in the best interest of the Club or SOL, as they have one member of the family as a SYC member, an no restrictions to viewing polars, yet the other has the join SYC logo across the polars, are we going down the track of the money hungrey VOR game sites or keep this as pure an honest as the best Virtual Sailing Site Regards Aussie Col

	Hi, it was meant as a joke - however you must also agree that it also was a good workaround to the problem I have made some changes in the drawing code which should further improve the placement of the ad on small screen. However, below a certain size the banner will still partially cover the polar. That is a trade-off - if we would decrease the polar size below that limit it would be unreadable for that reason. I welcome more input in this issue. If anyone also have a better way to promote SYC I am also listening - the banner just seemed like a good idea. We do put in quite an effort in this project (a lot of our own money and time), so SYC memberships are crucial for the long term survival and development of SOL. We are very happy and thankful for all the people who has made the decision to support us via SYC - I cannot thank you enough.

	Kalle, I think the flash interface is very good now. But I still miss one utility from the old client. The possibility to progress the wind forecast for 3 hours with arrow-keys and for 6 or 12 hours with page-down/up-keys. I hope it is possible to fix that too?

	Sambal: It might not have the correct "response", but if you first click on the weather time "marker", you can then change time with left and right arrow keys.

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!

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.
