Hej SKOVSER.

Of course.
You will find a link to "brainaids site" via "Links" on Sailonline's homepage.
On "brainaids site" choose "Sailonline Toolbox".
In the toolbox you log in with your sailonline login and choose the race you want.
This is where you get the weather gribs, the polars and other stuff.
Click on "Navigation" and then click on the link in blue writing. This will download the NMEA Proxy for YOUR boat.
Click on the downloaded file (uses Java), fill in your password and click on "Login".
Now you only need to click on "Start" and you are up and running.

Hope this helps. :-))

If you need further assistance I can be reached on SKYPE as finn0703

Thanks a lot Bimmer,
I got it to work with Firefox. I tried with Chrome a number of times, but failed.
Probably because of Java not running on new Chrome.

Thanks again :)

Viva Bimmer.

The GRIB file can be any format qT reads.
The "numbers" are "TWS" on the nodes of the GRIB, something you get tweaking the menu called with the "windsock" icon.

Meanwhile, I was looking the new OR and ... look to the attached pic.

Nice jump!
Sail Fair.

Hello Bimmer, everything works great on qtvlm until I get to the NMEA proxy part. The saved file has a IE symbol next to it and when I click on it it comes up with options open or save and thats as far as I can get.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Irish Rover.
Are you using IE as your standard browser?
What happens if you click "Open"?

Bimmer.

Feel free to contact me on Skype (finn0703)

I use Firefox as standard, when I click open it creates another line with open or save options as well and keeps repeating this action if I click open or save.
I'm not very computer savvy so it's a bit frustrating!

Do you have Java on your machine? Otherwise go to Java and download it.

Please download Skype and call me. We can fix it in 10 minutes :-)

San Diego Islands Race 2026


Sailonline is proud to once again partner with the San Diego Yacht Club for the annual Islands Race! This iconic offshore challenge spans approximately 140 nautical miles, starting in Long Beach, rounding the Catalina Islands, and finishing in San Diego. Shifting coastal winds and tactical island roundings will test every sailor’s judgment and nerve.

This year, our SOLers will race the Ker 40, a proven high-performance design by Jason Ker and built by McConaghy Boats. Fast, responsive, and demanding, the Ker 40 rewards precision and smart strategy. The competition will be tight. Every decision will count. See you on the start line!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Samoa to Hawaii


The second race of our new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, takes us northward again up the Pacific Ocean, now from Samoa at 13.5 degrees South, across the Equator to Hawaii, famed for its breaking surf and active volcanoes, on the edge of the Tropic of Cancer at 19.5 degrees North. It’s 2300nm, so we’ll take our very steady Steinlager II. Race #1982

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!

West Papua to Oregon 2026

Our next race in our Ocean Championships is the first of a series of great natural migrations we will track in 2026. The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed marine reptile on planet Earth, and chooses to breed in warm tropical waters, but prefers to forage in more temperate habitats, travelling thousands and thousands of miles effortlessly annually to maintain this way of life. Our race will follow one of the typical trips of this turtle, from breeding grounds in the seas off West Papua to the coast of Oregon. It’s only 5900nm, so to keep up, but in comfort, we’ll follow in our Gunboat 90.
