I have just find the app for Ipad ”Puffin” it’s a Webb browser witch allows you to play Sailonline.
It’s working weary slow but I think it is the only one working.

Hi Tomas

Flash support is still a tough one.

There are a few special browsers that render flash at the server side and then output the result to your device. Hence the speed drop.
I used Skyfire some time ago on my windows phone, I think they also have a app. Let us know the ones that work best.
I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.
There are also a number of tools that allow you to connect your iPad remotely to your PC/Mac desktop.
They should provide better performance as it is your own computer running the flash...

Apple has a policy of not supporting technology on its devices it has little or no control over, so don't ever expect any iP*** device to support Flash
I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

I was just thinking if anyone had thought of creating an App specifically for Sailonline. It can be done, just a matter of finding the right person. I lead a vey mobile life, a better format for mobile would be a big hit.
It seems that the Volvo iPod App for their version of sail racing is a simple, effective extension to the user.
Don't get me wrong, Sailonline is by far my preferred platform for sail racing on computer. Sadly, my life does not allow to devote more time to racing. But, a simple to use app would make it possible to keep more up to date.
I am sure I am not the only one who feels the same. I do realise the expense involved, but that must be able to be off set somehow...

Natuna Sea Race 2026


At 4.0N 108.2E lies the island of Natuna Besar, Great Natuna, surrounded by at least 154 islands, of which 127 uninhabited, Indonesia’s Natuna Regency, and all around this archipelago, the Natuna Sea, bordered by Borneo to the east, the Java Sea to the south, and the Malay peninsula to the west, and extending north to cross a disputed international border with China into the South China Sea. And it’s a border that matters, there’s gas here! But why worry, let’s race – 2050nm in our goo’ol’ Open 60s in between the production platforms, prowling destroyers and submarines.

Panama Canal 2026


Sailing in the Panama Canal isn't the best idea, and organizing a race there is simply impossible and unfeasible IRL. In SOL, we have slightly different rules, so why not? A 36nm, frantic race awaits us, and the fast Dehler 30 OD will help us navigate the Panama Canal with grace.
