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

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
