	It is my pleasure to announce a new iPhone/iPad client app for Sailonline, currently in beta testing. If you would like to sign up for the beta test, you can join using this link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/hHkN9079 This will prompt you to download Apple’s beta testing platform, TestFlight. Once you have that, click the link above to activate the invitation. I am one of the many people who have recently discovered Sailonline due to a canceled race that moved online (Newport-Bermuda in my case). I found the implementation great, and wanted to contribute something to the platform. Since no iOS client was available, and I’ve dabbled in this area in the past, I’ve started working on this and … you can see how far I’ve gotten. While there’s much to be done still, I think there’s a reasonable amount implemented so far so you can test it out. Please let me know what issues you run into, and what features you’d like implemented next! Please note iOS v 13.0 or later is required for this beta. --- Last Edited by VIbex at 2020-08-20 17:08:28 --- --- Last Edited by VIbex at 2020-08-20 17:08:40 ---

	Dark mode has better contrast, too, try it out (set your device to Dark Mode in the Settings app, in Display & Brightness)

	Now we are heading to the small islands, I see small white "spots" and small black drawing of islands according to SOL chart. I assume that we have to avoid the white spots as well?
Posted by VIbex Posts 24 Registered at 2020-06-01 23:54:58	2020-09-10 16:49:25 - Re: Apple iPhone/iPad client
	Depends. If you're IRL, avoid the real islands. If you're SOL, only need to avoid the black map outlines, that's the official course coastline. The SOL maps are not as high resolution as Apple or Google maps. (In Dark Mode, the SOL map is the white lines) --- Last Edited by VIbex at 2020-09-10 16:50:40 ---

	Excellent app! On my iphone, to enter a course, it doesn't allow me to input the decimal point. The numeric keypad that shows to input a course has a comma and not a point. The density of wind barbs with the high resolution wx makes the screen too crowded. Nuno nacrr

The Beagle in Mauritius 2024

And west, forever following the sun, the Beagle went once more to next explore Australia, but since online we already regularly race the length and breadth of that wee dinkum continent’s coasts, we will delay launching our Tall Ship Class B until the Beagle reaches Mauritius, which she did on 29 April 1836. Darwin explored the island and its coral reefs extensively. We’ll better that by sailing some 450nm to Reunion and back, for a better appreciation of this remote archipelago, inhabited mostly by descendants of French and English colonists and Indian convicts and political prisoners.
