    Re: SOL - 3D Version
    Board » General Discussion
    ahhh... very interesting. Wasn't aware of that.
    so it is sheer NUMBERS of users at the same time.
    So if SOL had a race of 20, like sailX then 3D would be possible.
    But, since SOL has literally hundreds of users on in one single race 3D would not be possible.

    OK Then... what about instead of having the simple map while racing.. have a satellite image all the time, while racing, plotting etc etc...
    Not just a satellite image to track your boats and others which is just a static shot of the race.

    you actually clicked on the 3d button? becasue there is 2d and 3d option. It is a simple 3d, compared to Virtual sailor. I think virtual sailor is great, but too much. I think the sailx 3d is just right, simple and easy, and still free.

    The controls in sailx have a slight learning curve, but then again, if you sail in real life there is always that learning curve when controling a boat, that is what makes it so much fun and so challenging.
    Not that SOL needs that sort of control, but the #D would make it a bit more exciting and REAL.
    3D FOR SOL!

    Ahh, that is neat. But not what I meant.
    Nice to have THAT IMAGE while we are actually sailing and controlling and plotting in SOL.
    Was nice to see my boat on the finishline, along with other boast in a google image, but can only look at it in google.

    You wouldn't even have to go as far as virtual sailor. look at SAILX.com.
    This is also a free sailing site.
    You can pay for membership just like here in SOL.

    take a look... www.sailx.com

    O wonder if this is possible

    Are we able to see the race courses with satellite images (aerials) while racing and sailing?

    SOL - 3D Version
    Board » General Discussion
    Just a question,just curious...

    Will SOL ever try to have a 3D version like SailX.com?

    Is it possible?

    I would definitely become a paying member if SOL went 3D.

    SJORA Rum Runners Regatta
    Board » Flag Officers » Race proposals
    Here is a race based on a real one. I made it double as long though.
    Let me know if you think it should just be one way to Lighthouse in the Bahamas and I can modify easily.
    Gonna make one last one for the SJORA series,
    The Lake Okeechobee we talked about.

    When is the Space Coast regatta and the Key West Race I proposed?

    I have also designed a few races. Even have a race seriess now called 2011 SOJORA Series.
    No races have been posted, but I am sure they will be.
    Have patience... I am sure we are not the only ones designing and submitting races.
    Its fun designing them anyway.

Shetland Race 2026 - Leg 2


After the thrill of the first leg, we don't linger long in Lerwick, Shetland. Following brief but joyous celebrations, it's time to set sail back across the North Sea to Bergen, Norway, for the gripping second leg of the Shetland Race 2026!

Covering another unpredictable 190 nautical miles, tactical depth and fierce competition await. This year, we take the helm of the Linjett 33. Designed by Mats Gustavsson in 1994 for Sweden's historic Rosättra Båtvarv, this sturdy, quality cruiser-racer has been a Sailonline favourite in northern waters since 2010. Whether you are chasing victory or savoring the voyage, hoist your sails and let the journey home begin!

Brisbane to Keppel Tropical Yacht Race 2026


When the winter weather turns cool in southern Australia, sailors head up to the warmer tropics. Sailors from all over the world make their way to The Great Barrier Reef for the big winter regattas at Hamilton Island, Airlie Beach and Magnetic Island.
This year's B2K will start on 20 June to offer an event suited to a broader range of boats. Sailonline is, once again, joining with the racers from RQYS to race the 343 nautical miles from Brisbane to Keppel Island, this time in our First 44.7. It might be winter down under, but all you will need is shorts and t-shirts.

Newport Bermuda Race 2026


The 636-mile Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet and the Sydney Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. First raced in 1906, now in its 54th biennial, the Race can again also be participated in online. In real life, the race is open to entry in four different division – Double-Handed, St. David's Lighthouse, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, and Finisterre Division – which in the past we have also offered online. This year, however, our online race will be all-in one-design in silky swift Club Swan 50 yachts, so that your results can count towards SOL’s SUPerBUDdy title, whilst hopefully still giving you a chance of overall line honours against the fastest yachts of the real-life Gibbs Hill Division, especially if you can find some forecast winds that don’t quite work out that way on the real water!

Welcome back to the Eastern Mediterranean for the fifth race of our Magical Mediterranean Series. Only marginally less unlikely to be ever raced in real life during SOL’s lifetime than our previous race from Tobruk to Iskenderun, this 710nm race takes us from Greece’s ancient northern port of Thessaloniki through the Aegean island maze, south east into the Levantine Sea to a finish in modern Port Said, in splendid Swan 65s!
