    Hi SOL friends
    I did update my document for comparison of virtual sailing sites with the new knowledge on the SOL beta player. see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VgeYoRS3o2-pkfOuuAgRk8F3i7kDltXzE-sGjAZ9ONE/edit

    Sail on , fair winds and take care for fishing boats at the Portuguese coast :)

    hi Sol friends

    thanks for all information on the revised SOL player. I have missed this complete.

    Now I found the manual for the Beta and with a quick screening saw some very interesting improvements. I am now sailing onthe Lake and hope to apply the new features.
    I will adjust in a positive way my comparison report but this weekend is a little busy with Vendee start and the normal ongoing stuff.
    fair winds and I did rate SOL already 2nd in my ranking based on the older player. :)

    Hi RainbowChaser.

    I played SOL some year back, I made the comparison somewhere in June2012.
    I will make the changes you indicated, as the development of SOL has continued, maybe sail a race as then you learn the features the best.

    No SOL is not the only site where players can make their own races or cruises. It happens a lot in LiveSkipper; the LS challenges are continuous available and allow groups to start in their own time and decide their own route. I have also in VORG2012 participated in alternative routes, but that lastest only as long as a leg lasted. In VR, I understand that groups of players also organise their own races/ cruises. So it seems that there is a need for some own organisation of race/ or cruises by players.
    Thanks for your comments that can only improve my comparison and as volonteers, I am even more impressed by your virtual SOL player. ard.

    Good to see that SOL is sailing around the world in company of so many other virtual sailors :)

    Mr. Misterqu are you the misterqu sailing alongside me in LiveSkipper?

    Neuroman, I like to set up a discussion on your statement "SOL is always the best". I have done a comparison of 4 virtual sailing games, SOL among them and SOL has some positive points as other games have. My document is available in my blog http://paradise49.blogspot.com/ under TAB "virtual sailing"
    fair winds :)

    Hi sol friends
    I noticed that the VendeeGlobe will start soon, 10th November.
    I don't see anything like it in the SOL November calender.

    Does SOL has a plan for a similar sailing race around the globe?

Isle of Wight RTI Sprint 2025


Welcome to the Isle of Wight in the British Isles. A past home to Queen Victoria and the foundation of the America's Cup when yacht racing became popular in the 1800's. This particular race was last raced on SOL in 2012 to follow Soler JuJu sailing around the island. We return, long overdue, to race our final Q2 sprint around the island.

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2025

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.
Our online version of the race will be a TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto try again after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
