As near as I can figure it seems that Adobe pushed out an update in early May, 2015 that basically didn't "take out the trash". It seems that certain certificate files that should have been replaced in both server and client side of products weren't. Maybe humm and kroppyer can make some sense of this thread: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1837656.

In the meantime on the client side I found the following to work on both Win 7 and Vista machines and assume it will work for all OSs.

Right click in the field of the client holder for the races. From the drop down list choose "Global Settings". Wait for a bit..it seems to take a while to load (at least on a 2.6 Mbps cable connection in a 3rd world internet country like the U.S.) because the settings are held on the Macromedia server. When it does load you will see a page called "Flash Player Help". From the menu on the top left corner, select Global Storage Settings Panel. When it loads you will see a box on the top right. At the bottom of this there are two check boxes, one labeled "Allow third-party flash content to store data on your computer" the other "Store common Flash components to reduce download times". Uncheck both.
Next to clear Flash Player cache select the tab "Website Storage Settings panel". Wait for it to load (around 30 seconds here). In the box click the button "Delete all sites". close the window and the reload the Flash client. It should now work.
For Optimum Angles Tool, when you try to load the page there two bars the bottom one says "Error #2046" the top one a white and light grey bar. In order to get to Global Settings right click in the middle of the white/grey bar.
You may also be able to reach the Global Settings panel by pasting:
http://www.macromedia.com/.../settings_manager02.html into the address bar of your browser.
Most of the error 2046 seem to be in chromium browsers like Chrome and Dragon, though I had 2046 errors with Optimum Angles Tool in all browsers on my Win 7 Laptop (Dragon, Chrome, IE, PaleMoon, and Opera).
Sry...that was me as sol. I was checking out the Keppel race as sol and then went to the forums.
I have started anew thread "RSL Error #2046"

as I believe that this problem deserves a new thread. Best to all..Ahmet

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.

Race to Up Helly Aa 2026

A-OI!!! The fiery spirit of Shetland’s legendary Up Helly Aa returns, and Sailonline’s annual race to Lerwick is once again upon us. Covering 383 nautical miles from Aberdeen, SOLers will tackle winter waters steeped in Viking tradition. This year, we race the classic Frers 33, a proven cruiser-racer born from the golden era of offshore racing and still a sturdy performer both on the virtual and real water. Can you master the course and reach Lerwick in time for the flames?

SAILING NOTE: Gruney may be approached from any direction but must be passed for rounding purposes as indicated on the chart.
