New features

Board » Sailonline Yacht Club

What would be good for me and maybe others is the ability to enter a delayed command with a specific time rather than a fraction of hours. So for example enter steer cc 129 at 1820 UT.

Would it be possible to include on the maps the names of islands. Maybe just the major ones, could maybe only make them visible when you zoom in to a particular level, or maybe toggle them on / off. Quite often I look at the map and would like to know more about where we are in the real world in more detail.

Re: Again SOL has a very big problem with finishing times.

Board » Technical Support

Ahhh, OK that explains why when you zoom right in on your boat it sometimes looks like it is ahead of boats that are listed as being ahead of it.

What about the ability to download the race positions in Excel format. When I'm at work its great to monitor positions every couple of hours via excel and see who you're gaining on and who's pushing to overtake you. Right now I have to copy and paste all this stuff which is very tedious. Maybe someones already generated a program to do this quickly, otherwise and XLS download would be great. You can also work out others speed which is really useful.

Not sure if this is a bug?

Board » Technical Support

I am in the GOld race and just hit 68 degrees west and cant go any further west, another boat is in the same situation, has the playable area been set to stop at 68 west or is this a bug?

Performance reductions

Board » Technical Support

Hi

I know that if you run aground or change direction you suffer a performance reduction. If you instruct your boat to sail according to a fixed TWA do you suffer a performance reduction every time the server makes an automatic alteraction to your course to keep you on the fixed TWA course?

Another suggestion. I like the fact that the boat polar shows the current boat situation by a spot, it would be good to be able to make this window larger to see the coloured contours more clearly, or maybe just highlight the contour/s relevant to the current wind speed.

I would like to be able to switch from one race to another without having to exit the Client Program. Currently i two races and it would be good to swap from one to the other.

Southampton to Punta del Este 2024

Sailonline is delighted to offer our sailors a 'reversed' Atlantic ocean race. As the RTW championship Atlantic part takes a detour to the Bahamas, we will offer you a reversed course as we will not do the 'usual' leg this year either. It is the July edition of this year's Ocean Championship. Our boat is the OD_65v3.

Haida Gwaii 2024

We will end the second quarter of the ARCH competition with a 390nm race around the Haida Gwaii islands (literally "Islands of the Haida people"), also known as the Queen Charlotte Islands. This is an archipelago located on the northern Pacific coast of Canada. In SOL, we last raced on this route in 2012 and few people remember what happened there. Prepare your Riptide 50 well, it's going to be a lot of fun.

Newport Bermuda Race 2024

The 636-mile biennial Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet Race and the Sydney to Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. Founded in 1906, this 53rd running of the Bermuda Race can again also be participated in online.
Entries are invited for one of the four divisions:
Double-Handed Division:
Jeanneau Sun Fast 3600
St. David's Lighthouse Division:
Santa Cruz 52
Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Division:
Judel Vrolijk 62
Finisterre Division:
Riptide 50
Details for each yacht are available in the ‘Particulars’ links below. As in real life, you can only sail one boat in one division, so choose your virtual yacht carefully, and because of the unusual (for SOL) 4-division nature of the event, please note results will not count towards any Sailonline rankings.
