2008-11-29 21:01:28 - Quick button to SOL web site
I suggest that there should be a button in the "client" which led to the SOL web site, of course under a new tab or new window.

No. I disagree.

Just make SOL your HOME PAGE.

Then IE has a button already, and it works!

Don't you just hate people who don't log onto SOL first thing!!!!!!

Paul, having the link will help those who may have to use other PCs. Now it is Flash based, access has become much easier! (I can't see a link doing any harm.) I liked the link to the leader board on the old client as well.

Yes Bruce. A frivallous remark by me, but I do have my "HOME" page set to SOL.

However there were a lot of comments in Chat about Log On issues before the Flash client was released, and Kalle addressed those items. I also made emailed lots of other comments when a select few were trialling the Flash Version earlier.

17/11/2008 23:55:09 I posted:
LOG OUT button.
I think a "logout" button to click on would be very useful on the sailing client, say to the Right of "CHAT" tab.
(Forum post P19)

Others posted their comments, but I only have a log of my comments, not all suggestions made by others.

There was comments in Chat a while ago that there should be a list and status of different ideas on the SOL site. People can review this and hopefully to avoid multiple postings for the same feature. I even sent Kalle my spreadsheet log as a possible format.

So yes all suggestions are welcome. I've made 50+ suggestions. Some have been done, others may be on the R&D list. It's a question of programming resouces by the R&D guys.

Now if all racers joined SYC, it would obviously help money wise.

So Join SYC and post your ideas in the Forum.

Serious answer.
ADD web pages for SOL Home, Races & Forum pages to your "Favourites" list.
Then click on new TAB and select from Favourites.

3 Clicks and your there.
I always do this!

I would rather do this and let Kalle do more "sailing" programming, than spend time writing code where there is a simple work around for most racers using M$ IE.
(Micro$oft Internet Explorer)

e.g. show real charts of the oceans, rather than just plain pale blue. See my Post P13 of Feature Request 2008-08-17 22:13:59.

The Vineyard Race 2025


For the first time since first hosting a virtual Vineyard in cooperation with Long Island's Stamford Yacht Club back in 2010, due to an operational calendaring error, Sailonline has missed the start of the real life race, the USA’s Labor Day weekend this year unusually falling across the turn of August. Silly SOL! So, a week late please join us anyway for a virtual rerun of Stamford’s iconic annual overnighter from their club line out the sound to Buzzard's Bay Light near Martha's Vineyard Island and back again, leaving Block Island to starboard. This year, Sailonline is making its magic MC 38 available to competitors, a race boat with a quirky polar that will require you to stay wide awake as you speed around the c 250 nm course, in rockstar style!

Great Nicobar to Marion Island 2025

The Adventure Continues – Leg #6 of the RWW Series.
We’re setting sail on the next stage of the RWW Series: a 4,400-nautical-mile passage from Great Nicobar to Marion Island. This demanding leg will test endurance, strategy, and seamanship at the highest level. As part of the 2025 Ocean Championship, this marks the ninth legendary challenge in the series — and one of the most exhilarating yet. The race will be contested aboard the Archer 78’ ketch, a vessel built to push sailors to their limits across the vast Indian Ocean.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
