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...

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
