	I logged in to Silverrudder 2022 sep 13, 16:29 as guest. Is there a boat named guest? I did not see anything. I could not steer I could not enter a course 2nd thought: will all be right when no longer practice-racing?? Disappointed guest. --- Last Edited by guest at 2022-09-13 17:21:18 ---

	Tour Down Under. Nothing to enjoy. Guest boat invisible. No steer. You should change your welcome message to: Welcome! Now login with our sol account to view currently running races: Username: sol - Password: sol --- Last Edited by guest at 2022-09-20 10:28:02 ---

	I think SOL-management does not like to have <guest> or <sol> active in a race. And even during practice-sailing <guest> is invisible. In the beginning years of sailonline it was always fun chasing <sol> the very moment the race was open for registration. When practice-sailing started this was no longer done. When the race was started <sol> could be sailed as a community boat. Skippers did not know each other; just fun of not knowing what the next move would be. All of a sudden <sol> could not chat any more. I know why that was done; why after years <sol> is still banned from chat I do not understand. <sol> and <guest> are positioned from race-start as -1 or 9999. OK. But why did sol-management take away all things that made navigating possible? 24th dec 2022 <guest> is still not visible/usable during practice-racing. 24 may 2023 Seems this forum is not read/maintained by anyone who could change something in the working of Sail On Line. At least <guest> is still not navigable during practice racing. Time to change this welcome message?

	guest is intended as a spectator. As such the message "Now login with our guest account to view currently running races" is accurate, and guest being invisible is desired. sol is available before the start of a race to: - have a look at the race prior to registering and choosing a polar - try out the platform without making your own account - sailonline volunteers make use of sol to set up and inspect new races For all of this, sol should behave as a normal boat during the pre-race period. Once the race has started, sol should not interfere with the ongoing race. As for whether there should be an option for "community racing", where multiple anonymous people take control of a single boat, that is another matter. I would suggest a (non-anonymous) message to the management via mail or the forum so that they can judge the interest in such a feature.

So log-in as sol is a better way to experience and view all the possibilities of your sailing and navigation simulation then doing so as guest. Sobeit-Soisit

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

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 is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER. This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.

Prepare yourselves for an epic 30-day journey, navigating through the unpredictable waters of the South Seas.
