2011-06-22 01:33:53 - USA boats without weather or fleet
I'm still up, but Shamrock and hew are reporting that races are loading with no data. No way to tell what's happening, but last time our networks had domain lookup problems this was the temp fix:



I *think* that's the symptom we had with DNS loss. This is the fix that saved North America last time around - good luck!!!:

Hard to say how localised this is, but it looks like Ottawa at least is having trouble finding SOL again. The same fix as last time works - on windows machines:

Go to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

there should be a file there called "hosts" with NO extension

right click it and open-with ... notepad

add these two lines:

62.181.230.173 race.sailport.se
62.181.230.171 www.sailonline.org

restart


It's a good idea to remove these two lines once they are no longer needed, which can be done by adding # to the beginning of each line:

# 62.181.230.173 race.sailport.se
# 62.181.230.171 www.sailonline.org

have no access to Canadian race for two hours already.Sailing blindly by Brainaid DC editor and navigation.From time to time checking on Google Earth not to run aground.There is however no turning point north of Belle isle on Google earth so if SOL race does not resume working at that time it will be hard to turn south.

From my observation:
Server troubles were at 22.6.2011from at least 0:50 to 2:00 UTC.
Web client did not download. Mobile client worked (without map) and Brainaid site was able to update navigation data and fire DC.

At 3:30 UTC (may be sooner) Web client downloaded correctly.

Hmmm, I sent a command at almost exactly 0050 that didnt have the desired effect, perhaps this is the reason?
But my toolkit has shown constant connection for the whole race so far - maybe that will also help in these situations, atleast you can see the race in a Google Map, albeit without WX, but you do get your own 'current wx' like in the client and brainaid's Nav page ;-) (out soon I promise)
Also the WX and BS strip charts in NavMon (and the log i keep) show no breaks in connection...

1 thing though, brainaid's site sends DCs to the sever when you press the 'Apply' button just like the actual client does, it doesnt send the command at the time you specify... So of course any DCs set there should have still worked.
Actually his site still working kinda backs up 76Ts DNS resolution 'theory'...
I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

Roma Giraglia Regata 2026

Our eighth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil – is another buddy-up; this one with the Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . Founded in 1984, as the new Traiano yacht Harbour neared completion, the Circola since then has developed into one of the major yachting competition centres in Italy, and next to the 450nm Roma per Tutti (which SOL buddied earlier in the year), the Roma Giraglia Regata is its other headline offshore event. First raced in 2005, the 210nm course takes competitors from Traiano to a rock on the inside of the Ile de la Giraglia off the northern tip of Corsica and back to the Italian mainland for a finish in the bay of Santo Stefano. We’re racing this one in our Class 40!

Bornholm PYOC


Welcome to the Baltic Sea, where we are about to hold another sprint race. The course runs from the north to the south of the beautiful Bornholm island. There are only two waypoints, the start and the finish so the choice of which side of the island to sail along is up to you. Our Albin 79s will cover a distance of approximately 23 nautical miles.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.

Carib Rum Run 2026


Ahoy, ye landlubbers and seasoned salts! Welcome back to Sailonline’s legendary Carib Rum Run, perfectly timed to kick off on International Talk Like a Pirate Day, 19 September!

This year, we command the magnificent Falkun—the ultimate high-tech superyacht modeled after the iconic Maltese Falcon. This 1759nm slalom takes us through the Caribbean’s rum islands to plunder barrels from local distilleries and deliver them to the rum-parched sands of Cancun.

Join SYC before the finish to disguise yer boat with a pirate name for this race only. Hoist the sails, sharpen yer cutlasses, and plot your winning course!
