    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.

    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.

San Diego Islands Race 2026


Sailonline is proud to once again partner with the San Diego Yacht Club for the annual Islands Race! This iconic offshore challenge spans approximately 140 nautical miles, starting in Long Beach, rounding the Catalina Islands, and finishing in San Diego. Shifting coastal winds and tactical island roundings will test every sailor’s judgment and nerve.

This year, our SOLers will race the Ker 40, a proven high-performance design by Jason Ker and built by McConaghy Boats. Fast, responsive, and demanding, the Ker 40 rewards precision and smart strategy. The competition will be tight. Every decision will count. See you on the start line!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Samoa to Hawaii


The second race of our new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, takes us northward again up the Pacific Ocean, now from Samoa at 13.5 degrees South, across the Equator to Hawaii, famed for its breaking surf and active volcanoes, on the edge of the Tropic of Cancer at 19.5 degrees North. It’s 2300nm, so we’ll take our very steady Steinlager II. Race #1982

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!

West Papua to Oregon 2026

Our next race in our Ocean Championships is the first of a series of great natural migrations we will track in 2026. The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed marine reptile on planet Earth, and chooses to breed in warm tropical waters, but prefers to forage in more temperate habitats, travelling thousands and thousands of miles effortlessly annually to maintain this way of life. Our race will follow one of the typical trips of this turtle, from breeding grounds in the seas off West Papua to the coast of Oregon. It’s only 5900nm, so to keep up, but in comfort, we’ll follow in our Gunboat 90.
