	HI Guys I notice that when running the flash client, my boat moves in near-real-time. Other boats do not move though. Is this correct? Cheers Wayne

	You boat is updated every 15 sec (it's actual update times varies between 15 sec and 2 minutes depending on how recently you actively steered your boat). All other boats are updated every minute.

	Thanks Kalle. It def does not seem to move other boats. I have left my screen idle for 10 mins. Please see teh result in teh atatched. One other issue that is prob related also, a Grey version of my boat if left behind while the Pink version hops forward. Is this correct? BTW, running IE7 on XP and Flash 9,0,124,0 See the attached screenshot of what I mean. Oddly enough, If I open a new tab withing the same IE7 browser session, it forces an update and all boats, including my grey version, hop to the correct place. I have tried Firefox to see if same issue there but so far I cannot get the Flash client to run properly on there. Opens up but no data downloaded. Cheers Wayne Attachments SOL_Ghost.jpg (54.9 KB)

	Got firefox problem sorted. I was connecting to http://sailonline.org/windy/run/103/#. Client would open but no data. As soo as I chnaged URL to http://www.sailonline.org/windy/run/103/# (Added www.) then data came and all OK. AND, interesting, all boats are updated and move correctly every minute. So looks like a problem when running in IE7. Cheers Wayne

	Hi Kalle ANother bit to add to this bug/feature. In Firefox, even though all the boats move as they should, the distance and bearing information that appears in blue next to you pointer appears to be measured from the position your boat was when you last refreshed, not from where your boat currently is. Cheers Wayne

	I've made an update that should fix other boats not moving in IE7.

	It would be nice if the boat was placed off center so ~70% of the map is displayd infront of the boat when I hit boat button. cheers /Tomas

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
