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... __/)/)_/)__

Africa by Sea - Swakopmund to Maputo 2025


Time again to continue our exploration of Africa by Sea, which now takes us around the tip of the continent at Cape Agulhas and up the coast of South Africa to Mozambique’s marvellous Maputo, where we should find good anchorage in the bend of the Rio Espirito Santo (Umbuluzi) once we’ve cleared the 60m high Maputo - Katembe suspension bridge. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be glad to be sailing our comfortable and sturdy Xp-55, as we will certainly experience more headwinds!

Isle of Wight RTI Sprint 2025

This particular race was last raced on SOL in 2012 to follow Soler JuJu sailing around the island. We return, long overdue, to race our final Q2 sprint around the island.

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2025

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited 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 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
