    I also have the same message when trying to open the DC table.
    Where can I find the ini file?

    .
    .
    It should be called autoGribLoader.ini in your race folder. The user manual does explain how the .ini file works, what it is called, and where it is.

    I advise upgrading to the latest version and seeing if it goes away. I can't replicate the problem.

    Portale di Rilascio AGL 25
    Board » Technical Discussion
    AGL sarà ora distribuito tramite il link presente nel AGL25 Manuale Utente. Fai clic sul link per scaricare il Manuale Utente, e poi consulta la Sezione 2 per le istruzioni su come installare AGL.

    Devi anche leggere le AGL25 Note di Rilascio, poiché potrebbero esserci istruzioni specifiche una tantum relative solo all'ultima versione.

    Gli aggiornamenti sono ora gestiti direttamente da AGL stesso.

    That fixed the display however still have a glitch in the setup.

    Clicking on "Open the DC Table" produces following error. CMD window does not help much. I looked at the entry in ini file and it is blank, so I tried manually adding the path to QTVlm output file but still same error.
    .
    .
    Try this.

    1. Shut down AGL in that project.
    2. Edit the .ini file and remove completely the two lines
    # DC file
    DCFile=....
    3. Start AGL and try again. It should prompt for a file. It must be a valid DC file, either from exporting the route and .gpx, or a csv.
    If you still have issues, upload a zip if the file (I want to check the encoding)

    AGL will now be distributed through the link in the AGL25 User Manual. Click on the link to download the User Manual, and then refer to Section 2 for instructions on how to install AGL.

    You must also read AGL25 Release Notes as there may be some one-off specific instructions that are only related only to the latest release.

    Updates are now managed through AGL itself.

    Hi Kipper
    Just installed V25 and my screen does not look like the manual...?
    .
    .
    That's still 25.1.5. You have not upgraded to 25.2.1. Did you run the patcher or the installer? You should have run the patcher. Read the instructions again for update and follow exactly.

    Trying to import qtvlm route.csv file into AGL but getting below error message:

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.lang.Integer.intValue()" because the return value of "java.util.Hashtable.get(Object)" is null

    Not sure what i am doing wrong. Checked the separator and the heading and seems to be as per manual
    .
    .
    I suspect that this is related to the encoding of the file being changed in qtVlm which was not updated in AGL. This has been fixed in AGL25. Please update to the latest version and check again. If the problem persists, please raise the issue in the thread under Technical Discussion specifically for AGL related issues. Please include the stack trace again and a copy of the csv you are using.

Roma Giraglia Regata 2026

Our eighth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil – is another buddy-up; this one with the Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . Founded in 1984, as the new Traiano yacht Harbour neared completion, the Circola since then has developed into one of the major yachting competition centres in Italy, and next to the 450nm Roma per Tutti (which SOL buddied earlier in the year), the Roma Giraglia Regata is its other headline offshore event. First raced in 2005, the 210nm course takes competitors from Traiano to a rock on the inside of the Ile de la Giraglia off the northern tip of Corsica and back to the Italian mainland for a finish in the bay of Santo Stefano. We’re racing this one in our Class 40!

Bornholm PYOC


Welcome to the Baltic Sea, where we are about to hold another sprint race. The course runs from the north to the south of the beautiful Bornholm island. There are only two waypoints, the start and the finish so the choice of which side of the island to sail along is up to you. Our Albin 79s will cover a distance of approximately 23 nautical miles.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.
