2017-03-05 18:39:59 - SOL-utions ...
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)

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.

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.

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.
Carlo Alberto

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.

It’s 1900nm and we’ll be glad to be sailing our comfortable and sturdy Xp-55, as we will certainly experience more headwinds!

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2025

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited 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 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
