Possibly because I had "ROADS" or something similar ticked in Google Earth. Currentlty on laptop, not desktop so can't check settings. However it did show motorways / roads linking islands in the Lat/logs stated (correctly i hope).

If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

I think you are refering to the two bridges, who connects Fyn and Mainland Jylland!! the southernmost is the old one (1935 i think), The Northernmost is the new one ( ca. 1972). A beautifull one.
Actually, when I visit my parents in law, I can see both of them at the same time (if I turn my head a bit ;-)

Certainly looks nice and possibly I could fit my yacht under it LOL.

Here again having a real chart optional display with depths and clearances would make SoL more interesting, IMHO, instead of basic white sea.

Google earth helps, but does knot have the nautical information overlay that a proper marine chart would show.
If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

Hi Hawk - the race has now been set up in SOL. The wx system has had its lats/lons adjusted but it was done too late to catch the 1030 wx update so the change will be visible after the next update this afternoon.

To view the race for comment/amendment of course/waypoints just do this.

Log in as the sol boat.

Username: sol

Then click on this link:

Hawk
If I'm not mistaken, these are set up like practice races so the server doesn't "recognize" your finish. That way you can keep sailing to work out any issues in the course. I'm sure RC will have a better description/response.

SP

PS: I'm right behind you on the course!
Obviously... since forgot I was logged as SOL, again!! No doubt more protest from PaulR pending!

Current Races:

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!

Andaman Islands PYOC 2025


The Andaman Islands are an archipelago, made up of 200 islands, in the northeastern Indian Ocean. Together with the Nicobar Islands to their south, the Andamans serve as a maritime boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west and the Andaman Sea to the east. These waters will be the theater of our next 240nm race in the ARCH 2025 series. Which one you choose depends only on you, i.e. your Elan 410 sport will leave the Andaman Islands on the starboard or port side.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
