	Hello Solers, recently hmm's site stopped working and there is no opportunity to know data of other boats (I agree this). But we lost some very useful feature: the opportunity to read the data of our own boat (COG - TWA - VMC) with prediction up to 4 days in steps of 15.0 min. I'm not able to make software that can give me this information and ask: "there is some "SOLer Programmer" who is able to do it?" Thanks and FW all. Carlo Alberto

	Scara - Just download and use Kipper's tool "AGL" from here: http://solfans.org/blog/weather/dc-checker-editor-grib-loader-and-more/ You can see this (attached) --- Last Edited by Bimmer at 2017-03-05 19:06:56 --- Attachments Kippers_Boat_Data_Log.png (270.3 KB)

	Thanks Bimmer, I know that AG gives data of all boats (and I don't like): I need data only of my boat with COG - TWA - VMC preview for 4 days. I don't think AG provides these data. About data of all boats, I know that SOL not agree to make them public, and I believe that Kipper should at least limit the update at no less than 15 minutes. Carlo Alberto

	WxInspector has a long predictorline right? Both for TWA and COG, just not VMC (the most useful of the three...) I'm not aware of any software that would help you with that, other than routers.. ___ PS: I'm very glad kipper shares his "live data from other boats"-tool, instead of keeping it to himself, only sharing a version that gives data of other boats only every 15 minutes. --- Last Edited by kroppyer at 2017-03-06 00:25:11 ---

	Hello Kroppyer, I try to explain better ... Clicking SCARABOCCHIO in the hmm's data list, opens a new page with an "Excel type table" showing the data of my boat: choosing COG - TWA or VMC, with a minimum interval of 15 minutes for a maximum of 4 days of prediction period, appears a new table with the prediction data required. Look at the attachment, it is an example of what I mean. With these data was possible to check the boat's course and set the DC more easily. Thanks all.

	The predictor line in WxInspector is (as far as I know) the closest to that. It's a bit of a hassle to get the numbers, but you should easily find you position after X minutes, and with that, the windspeed/direction at that location at that time, etc. etc. Now I think about it, Kipper's tool may provide similar functionality.

Round Greenland 2024

Just as Skip Novak was embarking for Kamchatsky, Amyr Klink also quietly slipped his Antarctica moorings and by now Paratii 2 has reached Reykjavik, where he invites you to join him on Leg 5 of our High Latitudes Series, a full 3650nm circumnavigation of Greenland. The course is clockwise round, so down the North Atlantic to Cape Farewell, then up the Davis Strait into Baffin Bay and on into the Arctic Ocean proper, where, hopefully and certainly virtually, Paratii 2’s special ice-breaker features will get us thorough the summer ice out onto the Greenland Sea and back to Reykjavik. Stay warm!

Pico Island TIMED Race 2024

900nm due West of Lisbon you’ll find Portugal’s Azores Islands where SOLers have been known to come and go, both IRL and on-line. Marking the junction of two major tectonic fault lines – the North Atlantic Ridge and the zone where the African and Eurasian plates meet – it is a seismically hyper-active place, but warm and verdantly beautiful with one rain-laden depression after another rolling over its ash-fed hillsides. If it wasn’t for the pods of whales mooching about offshore, at sea might be the safer place to be, but let’s go racing anyway – 53nm round Pico, this year in Mini 6.50’s. This is a TIMED race, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.

The Beagle in the Galapagos 2024

It took the Beagle a further fifteen months of adventure and exploration to, on September 15, 1835, reach the Galapagos Islands, whose populations of giant tortoises and iguanas and finches and mockingbirds of great variety from island to island were such a significant inspiration to Darwin formulating his Theory of Evolution. It won’t be a retrace of his peregrinations, but here in 2024 an interesting 500nm course will take you by most of the archipelago’s islands, in your very own Beagle, a Class B Tall Ship!

SOL's Balloon Transat 2024

Sailonline offers a huge variety of boats to sail in. One of the more unusual ones has got to be SOL's Balloon, which was polarized by past SOLmaster 76Trombones. Notably, the SOL Balloon will actually ‘sail’ in other directions other than straight downwind, although it will not 'sail' over land or beyond a 'beam reach'. This year we have a new course to challenge all you aeronaut’s and we will be taking the Balloon across the Southern Atlantic from Cape Horn to 'land' it in the Cape of Good Hope. Tips: Wait for favourable winds before launching and set DC aware predictor to maximal length.

San Francisco to Ushuaia 2024

After a superlong RTW-leg3 (27 days), we have had a month to recover, and maintain our boat, in order to continue our around the world race. Leg 4, even longer than the previous, takes us from California to the world's southernmost city Ushuaia. No waypoints, even "the Ditch" is an option, but maybe a bit too much of a treat. With 6300 nm to go, the estimated duration of this race 29 days. This course is also the August edition of our ocean race championship.
