2011-11-17 10:49:49 - Big difference SOL map and Sailplanner
On SOL-map the SW point of Noronha is at -3.8778 and -32.4795.
If I make a waypoint in Sailplanner with this position it will be placed 1 NM north of Noronha! (I use the map "SP Atlantic South (GFS)")
Why?

There is also a difference with for example TWA when I sail the same CC at the same position and the same time! That makes Sailplanner difficult to use...

Differences in Maps are quite normal and do happen even in official Maps as a Result of Errors in Positiondetection by the original Measurer.

Did you use the latest SOL-Weather from Brainaids Toolbox (http://sol.brainaid.de/sailonline/toolbox/)?
If so there might only be small Differences due to different interpolation schemes.

You can't.
The dropdown list on the main toolbar contains the only weather systems you can use...

Sailplanner is not linked to sailonline in that way...

To get your boat or GPS location into SP automatically, you will need the NMEA proxy for the race from brainaid's toolbox, and a program called NavMonPC (very useful in its own right), to get the data from the NMEA proxy sent out on a virtual COM port, that SP can then read from.

Other than that, just drag the boat icon to match your current race location, or the start for pre-start routing, and go from there...

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
