Hi there, the only version that is working is the web version the installed client doesn't work anymore.

Problems with the web client are rare but could be caused by a proxy server in your connection. You might want to try a different browser and clear the cache of the browser.

Hope this extra info helps you.

bavaria,

1) Make sure you don't have the delay checkbox ticked

2) Zoom in and make sure you have not run aground.

Thank you guys. Problem solved.
It's my first race and I didn't see the island I was trying to sail through, It's a bit different sailing in a virtual world compared with the real one. BUT GREAT FUN.

Thanks again

I an new user and I have the same problem and your advice above does not help. I can stear the boat from the standard interface but not from the recommended client. I tried from two different computers and same issue. What are the features that i dont get when not using the client. Does it make sence to compete in the race using standard interface?

There is only ONE client, and that is the web based one - the desktop client (which you earlier could download) is not usable anymore. What are your specific problems with the web based client?

Kalle, I think you should remove the link to the 'cheat document', or at least indicate that it is obsolete. I think it may be the cause for the confusion.

The recommended use of desktop client caused confusion. I will not try to use that SW anymore. I hope that all references to that SW will be removed from Saionline.org

I see your point. The line "The best way to steer a boat is by the use of the client-software that can be downloaded here." on the manual page should be removed as well.

Im finishing a new manual as we speak.

This will replace the old one with the, now faulty reference.
This will remove the confusion we had about this, and will provide all the extra information on how to use the web interfce!

Regata dell’Accademia Navale 2025

Welcome to Sailonline’s first partnership with the City of Livorno, in cooperation with the local yacht clubs and the Italian Navy, to offer you the online opportunity to race the Regata dell’Accademia Navale. 630nm in length, starting and finishing in Livorno, the race takes you the length and breadth of the Tyrrhenian Sea via Porto Cervo and Capri. Online, you will be sailing a Class 40, which should keep you well in with the top of the real-life fleet which we will be tracking on screen!

Transat à Deux 2025

Above you see a single-handed sailor semi-foiling his Beneteau Figaro III to the horizon. It is in fact Ireland’s Sailor of the Year and the overall winner of last year’s Solitaire du Figaro, Tom Dolan. Somehow, we got our hands on a polar for the Class, and rather than trying to surreptitiously track Tom and his mates in the 2025 edition of the Solitaire, sailing rather-short, single-handed legs across the Celtic Sea and Biscay, we thought we’d see how our virtual craft would fare on the Class’s double-handed 3900nm Trans-Atlantic, from somewhere in Brittanny to somewhere in the Caribbean via somewhere in the Canaries. Allez, mes braves!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Toamasina to Baia de l'Oiseau


You may recall that when last we visited Madagascar in the company of Sinbad, the Sultan commanded our intrepid inspirator to seek out fabled islands where in Summer the sun barely set. We did and we returned but the Sultan wasn’t happy with Sinbad’s report, so here we go again, now by SOL Balloon instead of sailing vessel. Expect to be in the air for at least 2100nm and depending on how the wind brings us, anything between two weeks and two months before we shall descend at the Sultan’s given coordinates!

Melbourne Osaka Cup Double-Handed Yacht Race 2025

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and this year is such a year. So, this year’s online version is in sync with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organised by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. We’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat which should be a good match for many of the boats entered in the real race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across our course, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
