    You're Right :)

    & 'F' stands for Fumes
    Oh? I thought it meant something else! Like in "Oh f... - forgot to fill!"

    BTW, I have tried uploading an avatar, how long does it take to appear by my posts?

    Doesn't "E" mean "enough"?

    Thanks for your help. Perhaps I should have worded my Q differently: Is the distance to go shown by the game calculated along the great circle, or does it assume a flat ocean? I infer from your answer however that it must be the great circle distance. Thanks again.

    Great Circle Route
    Board » General Discussion
    Forgive me if this subject is covered elsewhere, but does the game take into account that the shortest route over longer distances is a Great Circle? Or do the game maps not account for this?

    Son's computer seems to have been hit with a trojan infostealer. Computer was frozen from yesterday afternoon to this morning. Have been busy trying to sort that one out all today. Just tried SOL again on my XP machine & BINGO, voila, eureka, whatever - it worked, weather downloaded, chart is up, going to check it out now.

    Hi Rainbow Chaser, I updated Java to v6 update 20 (build 1.6.0_20-b02) yesterday. I believe I now have latest everything. Hope to try connecting later on another Vista computer with cable connection to the router.

    Tried IE8 on the XP machine last night with same result.

    Captjack I am in Barbados. I am also using a wireless home network router. I tried your suggestion to disable, re-enable & reconnect but it has made no difference. I will try to connect on another Vista machine with cable connection to the router and let you know if it works. If it is worth anything, I have been playing on the VirtualRegatta.com site for the last year with no connection problems.

    Update: I have updated Java to v6 update 20 (build 1.6.0_20-b02). Shut down computer & restarted. Reloaded game and same thing: stuck at "Waiting for weather download...". Only thing left is to try other computer which my son is hogging. Will have to wait till he goes to bed.

    You need flash player 9 or higher. Other than that, if you are using internet explorer, try Firefox instead (or Chrome or Safari).
    Thanks for trying to help. See my first post: Windows XP Home 2002 SP3, Firefox 3.6.3, Adobe Flash 10,1,53,64; 1 Mb/s connection

    No corporate or other proxy. Java usually updates automatically. How can I check if it needs to be updated now?

The Vineyard Race 2026


For the 16th consecutive year, our SOLers are invited to tackle this iconic 250nm overnighter. The classic route charges out through the sound, leaves Buzzards Bay Light to starboard, rounds Block Island to starboard, and heads home.

This year's weapon of choice is the Beneteau First 47.7. A proven performer since its 2012 SOL debut, this Farr-designed cruiser/racer excels at leading real and virtual handicap fleets. Success will demand sharp tactical navigation, so watch the polars closely to conquer the sound's shifting winds!

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!
