All is OK with both races on my computer. A couple of things you might like to try.

1. Empty browser cache completely and even run a registry/disc cleaner for good measure.

2. Check that you are running the latest version of Flashplayer.

These are things that have helped in the past on the couple of occasions I had a problem.

Sometimes, too, I have read in chat that ISPs can run very slowly and as a result time-out before the SOL download completes.

Hope this helps?
I am also having this problem froze wind download

Hi Bigstorm, have you got another browser on the coputer you can test? Most of the time cleaning the temporary files of the browser helps.

Another thing you can try is log in as sol.
boatname sol password sol, this is a comunity boat that can help force new weather.
I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.
Hi,

Well I'm in now on another computor at work. When I get home I will check how things go and try your suggestion. Problem last night could not even get the web site to come up to try anything. It must be me because I went aground and everyone else went on their marry way. I never had this problem before.Plus all the other web sites where ok.

This experience must be very frustrating. I know I would be pulling my hair out, as the saying goes, if it were happening to me.

I have one minor suggestion to add to the above list of general remedies. Perhaps it is something you have already tried but did not mention as whatever procedures you went through did not make any difference so far.

Delete all cookies in your browser file that are from the Sailonline site.

I actually fixed a problem with the site in the past, although I don't recall the nature of the symptoms now, but I was trying everything to get back to a clean slate, including dumping my browser altogether & re-installing it. I cannot offer an explanation as to why this could be the culprit except that if it does the trick it is worth a shot.

None so blind

Great Bear Ice Race 2025


You can fly to Great Bear Lake Airport, but if the ice is good, instead hire a pick-up truck, load your disassembled DN into the cargo bed and drive, first following the McKenzie River north, and then straight across the lake to the start of our final Ice Boat series race of roughly 100nm in length. The Airport authorities have agreed to leave all lights on, so you should just about be able to see where you are going as you zing and rumble, PL-free over the ice!

Chile Islands RTI Sprint 2025


Across the Canal Puyuhuapi from Puerto Cines on the Chilean mainland lies the Parque Nacional Isla Magdelena, and further west across the Canal Moraleda from Magdelena lie the islands of the Chonos Archipelago. Returning for the first time since 2017 we find ourselves in vari-charted waters here, with the mapping between physical islands and their names not 1:1 but rather some:some. It’s only 26nm but you could get lost! Good luck.

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!
