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

Newport Bermuda Race 2026


The 636-mile Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet and the Sydney Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. First raced in 1906, now in its 54th biennial, the Race can again also be participated in online. In real life, the race is open to entry in four different division – Double-Handed, St. David's Lighthouse, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, and Finisterre Division – which in the past we have also offered online. This year, however, our online race will be all-in one-design in silky swift Club Swan 50 yachts, so that your results can count towards SOL’s SUPerBUDdy title, whilst hopefully still giving you a chance of overall line honours against the fastest yachts of the real-life Gibbs Hill Division, especially if you can find some forecast winds that don’t quite work out that way on the real water!

Shetland Race 2026 - Leg 1


Get ready to tackle the North Sea as we sail from Norway’s stunning outer Korsfjorden to the rugged Shetland Isles! Welcome to an exciting new chapter for this classic 190-nautical-mile ocean route, bringing our global community together for a true test of strategy and seamanship.

This year, the race is a proud stop in Sailonline's 2026 Super Buddy Championship, which features our real-life racing partnerships over the calendar year. We are stepping aboard the Linjett 33, a sturdy Swedish cruiser-racer designed by Mats Gustavsson and built by Rosättra Båtvarv. Seasoned veteran or eager newcomer, prepare for intense competition.

Plot your course and see you at the start line!

Thessaloniki to Port Said 2026

Welcome back to the Eastern Mediterranean for the fifth race of our Magical Mediterranean Series. Only marginally less unlikely to be ever raced in real life during SOL’s lifetime than our previous race from Tobruk to Iskenderun, this 710nm race takes us from Greece’s ancient northern port of Thessaloniki through the Aegean island maze, south east into the Levantine Sea to a finish in modern Port Said, in splendid Swan 65s!
