at this moment, no boat on my PC, only in the "Boats tab", but not in the map. Only "map" and winds. Impossible to sail...

You have entered a course 082 on the "steer" tab.

Now click on "SEND COMMAND" box.

This sends the command from your navigators chart table to the helmsman on deck.

Currently you are at a TWA of 0 degrees, "In irons", pointing directly into the wind.

Another way to steer is to click on the middle icon on Left Hand side of the map which is a "steering wheel"; then move around on chart with your mouse until you come to your desired course, then click the map to lock that desired course in; then click "SEND COMMAND".

After 30 to 60 seconds you will see the course appear in the boxes on the bottom of the map and you are now under way.

Repeat until you finish.

Good luck, fair winds and smooth seas!

If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

Thanks Paul.
But the problem is other: at times, the boats data are not downloaded. Not my boat, not other boats.
Perhaps an error on my brownser, perhaps in the server...
The Steering tab shows 0º because it have not data...

Hi noone, did you try emptying your browser cache.
It can fix a lot of problems like this.

Thanks, Martijn.
Jeroen thinks that it likes a problem of overloaded grafic system...
If I restart the PC, it works well.

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2026

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited again 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 two weeks to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
