Board » Technical Support » 5 Feb Client is BACK! - available as a 'Beta'

	Not sure if Beta client development is still ongoing or code streamlining is the focus, but might I suggest that "Tabbed" boat lists be adopted to conserve space for the Leaderboard. --- Last Edited by A2R at 2012-03-14 18:50:14 --- None so blind

	Issues with Beta Ahoi Fabulous engineroom-Gods ! Today I had the same failure with beta as in the beginning when it did not start - in the middle of practice race. Swiched to old client to finish race. After race I had to clear flash cache and restart browser, then it worked again. So I thought to myself when beta gets main client could we keep old client ( maybe as "?old=true" ) as last resort rescue in tight racing conditions if beta blows up ? Cheers, Roland, Stoertebaeker..

	Do you mean the client itself would not start? I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	Just had the time to try all the new beta-gadgets. WOW! Agage: you read my secret thoughts! I hope I still will be able to sail instead of just playing around.... Two things I would like to have changed: - at the forecast-slider: the WX-mark could have a different colour - the personalized fleet feature: why not replacing the DTG with a Distance-To-MyBoat? Or simply add that... Thanks a lot for that brilliant work StuArt

	Ahoi AAron ! A interesting new feature of the new client is that Chinese chatroom is only asessible via old client, as we found out today... Cheers, Roland --- Zuletzt bearbeitet von stoertebaeker am 2012-04-10 17:20:45 --- <<DO NOT USE FOR NAVIGATION>>

	Yes this was a deliberate decision by the Admin team. Technically the Chinese and Polish rooms still exist, they are just not listed in the dropdown (so in-accessible) - and we have the possibility to use them for special purposes for special races (like for a yacht club from a large 'buddy up' race or something) I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	Can you look at my wake and tell me why the "Two Rock" mark in the "Perth ISAF Fleet Race" practice sailing was Not rounded. If I zoom in it seems like I met my "port requirements... is this a problem with the beta client???

	Do you mean to say that it still shows as 'Leave to Port' ?? That is because mark roundings are only scored in the real race. The other client version will be the same I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	Thanks Aaron, Your work is outstanding!!!! I was concerned as I sailed south past the mark that my boat position(in the standings) was climbing and I was losing positions. That is what made me think I hadn't rounded the mark and then as I sailed north back toward the mark my boat position started to drop again. Thanks again for your help.

Haida Gwaii 2024

We will end the second quarter of the ARCH competition with a 390nm race around the Haida Gwaii islands (literally "Islands of the Haida people"), also known as the Queen Charlotte Islands. This is an archipelago located on the northern Pacific coast of Canada. In SOL, we last raced on this route in 2012 and few people remember what happened there. Prepare your Riptide 50 well, it's going to be a lot of fun.

Newport Bermuda Race 2024

The 636-mile biennial Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet Race and the Sydney to Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. Founded in 1906, this 53rd running of the Bermuda Race can again also be participated in online.
Entries are invited for one of the four divisions:
Double-Handed Division:
Jeanneau Sun Fast 3600
St. David's Lighthouse Division:
Santa Cruz 52
Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Division:
Judel Vrolijk 62
Finisterre Division:
Riptide 50
Details for each yacht are available in the ‘Particulars’ links below. As in real life, you can only sail one boat in one division, so choose your virtual yacht carefully, and because of the unusual (for SOL) 4-division nature of the event, please note results will not count towards any Sailonline rankings.
