    Hi SOL friends
    I did update my document for comparison of virtual sailing sites with the new knowledge on the SOL beta player. see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VgeYoRS3o2-pkfOuuAgRk8F3i7kDltXzE-sGjAZ9ONE/edit

    Sail on , fair winds and take care for fishing boats at the Portuguese coast :)

    hi Sol friends

    thanks for all information on the revised SOL player. I have missed this complete.

    Now I found the manual for the Beta and with a quick screening saw some very interesting improvements. I am now sailing onthe Lake and hope to apply the new features.
    I will adjust in a positive way my comparison report but this weekend is a little busy with Vendee start and the normal ongoing stuff.
    fair winds and I did rate SOL already 2nd in my ranking based on the older player. :)

    Hi RainbowChaser.

    I played SOL some year back, I made the comparison somewhere in June2012.
    I will make the changes you indicated, as the development of SOL has continued, maybe sail a race as then you learn the features the best.

    No SOL is not the only site where players can make their own races or cruises. It happens a lot in LiveSkipper; the LS challenges are continuous available and allow groups to start in their own time and decide their own route. I have also in VORG2012 participated in alternative routes, but that lastest only as long as a leg lasted. In VR, I understand that groups of players also organise their own races/ cruises. So it seems that there is a need for some own organisation of race/ or cruises by players.
    Thanks for your comments that can only improve my comparison and as volonteers, I am even more impressed by your virtual SOL player. ard.

    Good to see that SOL is sailing around the world in company of so many other virtual sailors :)

    Mr. Misterqu are you the misterqu sailing alongside me in LiveSkipper?

    Neuroman, I like to set up a discussion on your statement "SOL is always the best". I have done a comparison of 4 virtual sailing games, SOL among them and SOL has some positive points as other games have. My document is available in my blog http://paradise49.blogspot.com/ under TAB "virtual sailing"
    fair winds :)

    Hi sol friends
    I noticed that the VendeeGlobe will start soon, 10th November.
    I don't see anything like it in the SOL November calender.

    Does SOL has a plan for a similar sailing race around the globe?
