	To Rainbow Chaser:---As per promise, here is my design for the New AC 72 contender with "Ballasters" to keep it upright on one main foil and a rudder foil, both controlled, of course, to give a fixed 'ride height'. I am uploading this as a test of the system. If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy. Attachments AC72_Designed_by_Rod.JPG (48.0 KB)

	AHOY SOLers - the racing engine has been restarted. The DevtDudes are investigating the cause of the stoppage. Please keep an eye on race chat for more current updates.

	SCARA - sorry you had to chase by email, I was away from my computer for a while! Please would you try this (written by WIN yesterday): QUOTE PROCEDURE FOR ANTICIPATING DNS RESOLUTION WITHOUT WAITING FOR ISP TO RECYCLE VALID FOR WINDOWS USERS !! 1) open program NOTEPAD with admin rights 2) open going through following path : windows system32 drivers etc hosts 3) add following text lines at bottom of text file : 144.76.111.8 sailonline.org 144.76.111.8 www.sailonline.org 144.76.111.8 race.sailport.se 4) save file keeping same name (overwrite previous ) Note : some of the above lines may be redundant ...but it works.)))

	SCARA - hopefully someone with a Mac will come up with a suggestion for you. Sorry I can't be of more help.

	OK PROBLEM SOLVED ... (I'm a little hacker ...) For MAC Users: Step 1 - Open the Terminal.app Either by start typing Terminal on the Spotlight, or by going into Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal. Step 2 - Open the hosts file Open the hosts by typing on the Terminal That You have just opened: $ Sudo nano / private / etc / hosts Type your user Password when prompted. Step 3 - Edit the hosts file (DELETE the old DNS Sailonline, if present 97.107.135.234 sailonline.org 97.107.135.234 www.sailonline.org 97.107.135.234 node1.sailonline.org) add following text lines at bottom of text file: 144.76.111.8 sailonline.org 144.76.111.8 www.sailonline.org 144.76.111.8 race.sailport.se Step 4 - Save the hosts file When done editing the hosts file, press control-o to save the file.

	Wouldn't it be easier to just clear the DNS cache? Flush DNS Includes instructions for windows also. After that just restart browser. --- Last Edited by Jack Watson at 2013-09-21 17:54:39 ---

	"clear the DNS cache" didn't work (I have the old OSX 10.5.8) ...

	Clearing DNS cache won't work if you have hard-coded the sailonline server IP addresses during one of the DNS outages we have had during the recent years like apparently Scara has done. I hope that there is no need to that (I don't have the address hard-coded myself) but we are continuing with the same DNS provider (Loopia) as earlier. For non-tech people, DNS is sort of global phone book which tells where your computer connects with the address "sailonline.org". What now changed is the location of the server, thus we had to change our address in the "phonebook".

Haida Gwaii 2024

We will end the second quarter of the ARCH competition with a 390nm race around the Haida Gwaii islands (literally "Islands of the Haida people"), also known as the Queen Charlotte Islands. This is an archipelago located on the northern Pacific coast of Canada. In SOL, we last raced on this route in 2012 and few people remember what happened there. Prepare your Riptide 50 well, it's going to be a lot of fun.

Newport Bermuda Race 2024

The 636-mile biennial Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet Race and the Sydney to Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. Founded in 1906, this 53rd running of the Bermuda Race can again also be participated in online.
Entries are invited for one of the four divisions:
Double-Handed Division:
Jeanneau Sun Fast 3600
St. David's Lighthouse Division:
Santa Cruz 52
Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Division:
Judel Vrolijk 62
Finisterre Division:
Riptide 50
Details for each yacht are available in the ‘Particulars’ links below. As in real life, you can only sail one boat in one division, so choose your virtual yacht carefully, and because of the unusual (for SOL) 4-division nature of the event, please note results will not count towards any Sailonline rankings.
