    Please note that AGL23 will only work on Windows 10 and greater. If you are still using Windows 7, you need to stay with AGL14.
    I read this tonight...

    Am I lucky... ? or... ???

    My PC runs on W8.1...
    ...and AGL23 it's OK...

    Not lucky. There was actually a bug in AGL23 which I thought was related to incompatibility of Java Version 23 and earlier versions of Windows.

    Great to hear it works.

    ... I use a laptop that probably does not have the advanced graphics I see being discussed.

    Thx.

    Install AGL23 as per the instructions and see what happens. Both 14 and 23 can coexist on your computer and run in the same race folder, just not at the same time.

    You can keep using 14 whilst getting 23 working.

    AGL23 landshape polygon fill rendering issue
    Board » Technical Discussion
    There is a low level issue rendering the landshape polygon fill with the latest libraries used in AGL23. This only occurs when the graphics is processed by the integrated graphics processor (in software by the CPU) rather than by a dedicated graphics processing unit (GPU) on a graphics card. If this is happening to you, make sure your graphics processing is set to use the GPU if you have one, and not set to "Integrated graphics".

    If you don't have a dedicated graphics card in your computer, I have a work around in a patch that I will be releasing that will allow you to turn off polygon fill. This will still show the coastlines, but the land won't be filled.

    Hi Kipper,
    Not sure why but I am having the graphics issues again on AGL 23. I restarted my computer and it did not fix the issue this time.
    Any thoughts on what I might need to do?
    Thanks

    All I can think is that you may need to update your graphics card Open GL drivers. Also, you are fully up to date with all windows updates?

Africa by Sea 2025 - Port Said to Tangier


Back in the 7th C BCE, pharaoh Necho II may have commissioned Phoenician sailors to explore south down the Red Sea and if possible return north via the Straits of Gibraltar. Herodotus was inclined to dismiss the story as it included reports of the sun standing in the north, which had to be nonsense. Silly old Herodotus, but who cares, 2800 years later we will repeat the feat, but we’ll go the other way round, and not in a galley but in different modern sailing yachts, beginning with the comfort of an IY 14.98 for the first leg of 1900nm from Port Said to Tangier.

Aden to Goa 2025


Europeans are primarily acquainted with the historical narrative of how spices reached their continent from distant regions. However, the spice trade from Goa to Aden predates the modern era, as detailed in this article. Sailonline is now reversing this route, organizing an eastbound yacht race of approximately 1700 nautical miles across the Arabian Sea for our 21st-century Archer 78 yachts. Wishing you fair winds and may the enticing aroma of spices guide you safely to your destination!

Lake Namtso Ice Race


To kick off our annual Ice Yachting Series, we will travel to Tibet and to one of the World’s highest lakes, Namtso, the “Heavenly Lake”, at an altitude of 4720m. Just fly to Gonggar Airport via Kathmandu, and get a taxi to Lhasa where the Dali Lama lives, then hire a truck with guide to take you and your DN and gear a further 200km north across the Nyenchen Tanglha mountains to Xianga where a 95nm triangle will be beaconed out on the ice for your enjoyment. Although like most of the Tibetan lakes, Namtso is a saline sump with no outflows, rest assured it is bitter cold there and ice is guaranteed. Mind the monks, you’ve no PL!
