So cannot even get started. Apparently I am stuck in Ireland drinking beer. My son says he can see me there.

Looked for clues on the websites but none work. Others obviously have the same problem

Hi

Cleaning the cache of the browser helps out most commen problems with no display. Check if you have a good version of flash installed (not needed if it was ok before).

We have some cases of people behind a proxy-server that experiencing problems.

Let us know if this helps, sorry to be so technical.

Still stuck in the pub.

Flash upgraded and the other one.
Cache cleaned.
Tried IE and Firefox.
Closed firewall (and reopened it).
Turned modem thing off and on.
Swore at the computer.

First time this sort of thing has happened.

So sailonline did work before you had this problem?
You have sailed in other races without issues?

Real strange I will see what other tips I can give.

Yup. It is strange. Mind you, I am behind the Great China Firewall, but it lets me into the website http://www.sailonline.org/windy/run/147/# and I get the screen with three icons on the left top, and the message at the bottom, "waiting to download the weather map".

If it was the Great Chinese Firewall, they would not let me into the website at all, never mind make posts..

I just registered on http://www.sailonline.org/windy/run/148/# but the same thing. I have no problem with the Volvo race and finished 1,000,000th or something.

If you are in China it's probably proxy servers that is in some way confusing our servers....

The Vineyard Race 2025


For the first time since first hosting a virtual Vineyard in cooperation with Long Island's Stamford Yacht Club back in 2010, due to an operational calendaring error, Sailonline has missed the start of the real life race, the USA’s Labor Day weekend this year unusually falling across the turn of August. Silly SOL! So, a week late please join us anyway for a virtual rerun of Stamford’s iconic annual overnighter from their club line out the sound to Buzzard's Bay Light near Martha's Vineyard Island and back again, leaving Block Island to starboard. This year, Sailonline is making its magic MC 38 available to competitors, a race boat with a quirky polar that will require you to stay wide awake as you speed around the c 250 nm course, in rockstar style!

The Adventure Continues – Leg #6 of the RWW Series.
We’re setting sail on the next stage of the RWW Series: a 4,400-nautical-mile passage from Great Nicobar to Marion Island. This demanding leg will test endurance, strategy, and seamanship at the highest level. As part of the 2025 Ocean Championship, this marks the ninth legendary challenge in the series — and one of the most exhilarating yet.
