    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.

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 IRL. 85nm in Fareast 28Rs to complete your circumnavigation of Africa!

Red Eye - Frisian Isles Trophy 2025

For our final “Red Eye” race, we invite you to cross the Noord Zee to the Wadden Zee, where a 160nm course around a few sandy islands raced on SOL only once before in 2010 awaits you. We don’t have a replica of Erskine Childers’ Dulcibella in our boathouse, and in any case if we took her out, we might well contract more than one “Red Eye”, so instead we’ll race our very own riddle of the sands in Farr 400s!

Fernando de Noronha to Faroe 2025

The RWW Series concludes with a spectacular journey from Fernando de Noronha to the Faroe Islands, a legendary destination in the wild North Atlantic. Panning 4,100 nautical miles, this leg will be a true test of endurance, strategy, and sheer determination. Also the penultimate leg of the 2025 Ocean Championship, it’s your chance to prove your mettle against the sea, the wind, and yourself. We’ll be racing aboard the Ragamuffin 100, a vessel built for speed and challenge — demanding planning, precision and grit from every sailor on deck. Do you have what it takes to master the Northern Atlantic?.

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!
