	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 --- Last Edited by Bimmer at 2016-02-24 05:14:00 ---

	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. Attachments Jumping.JPG (99.9 KB)

	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) --- Last Edited by Bimmer at 2016-03-27 15:18:44 ---

	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 --- Last Edited by Bimmer at 2016-03-27 16:22:37 ---

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.
