Thank you ,both maitai & Bimmer for the incredible interest, co-operation & work done! IMHO, the greatest improvement was linking SOL wind - we sail with the wind SOL gives us, I believe...
Again, thank you both for this great router

I believe we have a problem with exporting the .csv file. I get this from kroppyers converter:

ERROR: Time conversion failed, trying to continue. DCs could be wrong.
ERROR: Can't find TWA values in the file, trying to continue. DCs could be wrong.
ERROR: Can't find COG values in the file, trying to continue. DCs could be wrong.
TWA:

Viva all.

The “problema” - if we can call it like that - was the addition of an extra column (“GUSTS”) in the generated CSV file after the release of the 3.5.6 qT version.
Once again, as already suggested, it should be possible to customize the columns to be generated in the output CSV file.
IMHO there are #12 columns in the CSV file that we don’t need at all, and only contribute to heavier files.

When you have a problem with the converter, please send me the csv file that is causing the problem, then I can have a look at what may be causing the issue.
Otherwise, all I can do is guess:
Does the csv use a different kind of separator? e.g. "," instead of ";" (I believe it used to be ";", but I'm not sure, maybe it used to be ",")

It's 5mn to record a small excel macro that will get rid of the columns you don't want each time you load it.

C’mon Phillipe,

Generate first to remove after doesn’t make much sense.

Can you explain me why do we need to have these columns: Sail/Engine, SOG, COG, AWS, AWA, CS, CD, GUSTS, RAIN, COMB WAVES HGT, MAX WAVES HGT and last, MAX WAVES DIR?

Wouldn’t it be more logical/practical/quicker to each one have the possibility to choose the route output columns?

Thank you.
Sail Fair.

These data were asked from people who are using qtVlm IRL. Rain for instance has been the subject of a big debate in the past month (how to count it), or waves, currents, etc. Recently gusts and pressure were also requested and added. One can also imagine air/sea temperature, cloud cover, dew point, pollution, and much more. We will therefore probably continue to add more columns. It's easier to ignore data you don't care about than to look after them if you need it. Size of the file is not an issue, being between really small and just small.

Actually, there is a bug in headers when you ask a route export with raw data. I don' want to push a new patched version for PC now (Android and iOS versions have been patched already), but if you need a working version with raw data export just tell me. That bug existed also in 535 version.

Newport Bermuda Race 2026


The 636-mile Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet and the Sydney Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. First raced in 1906, now in its 54th biennial, the Race can again also be participated in online. In real life, the race is open to entry in four different division – Double-Handed, St. David's Lighthouse, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, and Finisterre Division – which in the past we have also offered online. This year, however, our online race will be all-in one-design in silky swift Club Swan 50 yachts, so that your results can count towards SOL’s SUPerBUDdy title, whilst hopefully still giving you a chance of overall line honours against the fastest yachts of the real-life Gibbs Hill Division, especially if you can find some forecast winds that don’t quite work out that way on the real water!

Only marginally less unlikely to be ever raced in real life during SOL’s lifetime than our previous race from Tobruk to Iskenderun, this 710nm race takes us from Greece’s ancient northern port of Thessaloniki through the Aegean island maze, south east into the Levantine Sea to a finish in modern Port Said, in splendid Swan 65s!

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2026

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited again to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.
Our online version of the race will be a TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto try again after finishing a run. You will have two weeks to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
