    Hi Bimmer,

    What is the .vmg files? And how do I open those files?

    I know that the .csv files are used by Qt, but I don't know what the .vmg are used for.

    Thanks,
    Antonio

    I just noticed that we now can get a boat info with a profile, a picture, the polar AND a list of all the races the boat was used here on SOL. All this summarized on a single page PDF.
    How clever, and interesting information to have.
    To whoever came up with this idea;
    Thank You !

    One of the beauty of SOL is it's simplicity. These rules are very simple to understand and simple to follow.
    Well done.
    Thank you all involved in running this great platform.

    Hi IANDOG,

    During practice the finish line does NOT stop your boat.

    Newport to Bermuda Race

    We have sailed this traditional race twice on SOL with the last one just finished.
    I am sure it was a painful experience for the ones caught by the blue arrows, the so called Bermuda High.

    For some it was a delightful race, but I am sure that for everyone it was an intrigue and demanding experience.

    The real life Bermuda Race is sailed every two years, next on to be in 2016. Over the many years of existence, there was fast runs, very fast runs, slow runs and painful runs but always very interesting.

    I would like respectfully ask the Sailonline Race Committee to consider including this race on our racing calendar, once every two years, always starting on the 3rd Friday of June.

    Thank you very much,

    I would like to thank all podium sailors who take time to write race reports.
    I don't remember when this trend started, but it is fascinating and instructive feedback reading.

    Thanks mates,

Africa by Sea 2025 - Suez to Port Said


When Napoleon (briefly) occupied Egypt at the turn to the 19th C, he ordered his expedition’s Directeur des Ponts et Chaussées, Jacques-Marie Le Père, to evaluate the ancient, derelict, infilled course of a Ptolemaic canal connecting the Red Sea to the Nile via the Great Bitter Lake, versus a new canal to the Mediterranean directly. Neither were considered feasible – locks to climb a pauvre-surveyed 10m sea-level difference, or continuous dredging of the Nile, would both be equally financially prohibitive. Fifty years passed before the unlikeliness of Le Père’s survey finding was challenged and a French Compagnie Universelle du Canal Maritime de Suez obtained a 99-year concession from the Khedive of Egypt, Said Pasha, to construct and operate a canal from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, much against the will of the Ottoman Sultan, Abdulmecid I (the Pasha’s nominal overlord), and the wishes of the (Irish) British prime minister, Lord Palmerston. The year was 1859, the very number of this race (planning, dear boy, planning!), which, despite the canal’s double-super-tanker gauge and lack of locks, is strictly prohibited to sailors IRL. But not SOLers! 85nm in Fareast 28Rs to complete your circumnavigation of Africa!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
