In the interim between this new client first appearing, being taken down, and now replaced and (it seems) accessible to all, I added map zoom on mouse wheel. You can also hold SHIFT to zoom faster...

Seems like Shift Key + mouse wheel goes backwards and forwards in browsing history (in both IE and Firefox) by default.
At least if you have zoomed out (and got back to your home page) you can zoom in again to get to SOL...

Only other comment - Mind blowingly good look and feel to the application.. excellent.. amazing..

I just hook into the Flash support for mouse wheel, so things may vary depending on browser - I don't have all browsers to test on

One thing I may have forgotten to mention about the new client:
The mouse coord information at map top right is now automatically updated.
So, if you use the arrow keys to move the weather slider, you can 'park' the mouse at some point and the data will update as the slider moves
It also updates every time new data is received for your boat - so the distance and bearing values will change. This can be quite handy when approaching a mark or headland to round, as you can 'park' the mouse over the location of manoeuvre and see the distance counting down with each boat update...

Your work place could have some net restrictions or even block Flash applications altogether

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Samoa to Hawaii


The second race of our new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, takes us northward again up the Pacific Ocean, now from Samoa at 13.5 degrees South, across the Equator to Hawaii, famed for its breaking surf and active volcanoes, on the edge of the Tropic of Cancer at 19.5 degrees North. It’s 2300nm, so we’ll take our very steady Steinlager II. Race #1982

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!

West Papua to Oregon 2026

Our next race in our Ocean Championships is the first of a series of great natural migrations we will track in 2026. The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed marine reptile on planet Earth, and chooses to breed in warm tropical waters, but prefers to forage in more temperate habitats, travelling thousands and thousands of miles effortlessly annually to maintain this way of life. Our race will follow one of the typical trips of this turtle, from breeding grounds in the seas off West Papua to the coast of Oregon. It’s only 5900nm, so to keep up, but in comfort, we’ll follow in our Gunboat 90.

Race to Up Helly Aa 2026

A-OI!!! The fiery spirit of Shetland’s legendary Up Helly Aa returns, and Sailonline’s annual race to Lerwick is once again upon us. Covering 383 nautical miles from Aberdeen, SOLers will tackle winter waters steeped in Viking tradition. This year, we race the classic Frers 33, a proven cruiser-racer born from the golden era of offshore racing and still a sturdy performer both on the virtual and real water. Can you master the course and reach Lerwick in time for the flames?

SAILING NOTE: Gruney may be approached from any direction but must be passed for rounding purposes as indicated on the chart.
