    The grib share is below. The race id identifies the folder for that race.

    Maybe behaviour by design;
    Previous version loaded NOAA "prt" files int slot 2 and got updated slider but grib did not display.

    Now get the updated slider but also grib displays in full. Still seems to calc route ok in QT...although lost a few places since update but probably my fault 😁
    .
    You only need to load the A grib, eg. A GFS SOLNOAA 1669 2025032200.grb in slot 1. You can use A GFS SOLNOAA 1669 2025032118.grb in slot 2 if you don't want to wait for the full download.

    You don't need to use the SOL grib at all.

    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.

    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.

    A new version of AGL is here called AGL23_1_3_update.zip.

This is a patch to workaround the polygon rendering issue with computers that do not have dedicated graphics cards.

    Note that this an update release be installed according to the instructions in the manual for an update.

    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?

Red Eye - Round White Island 2025

We remain in New Zealand for our second “Red Eye Special” and another IRL Kiwi classic - the Round White Island! IRL still “currently on hiatus” following the island’s eruption of 2019, this race was last raced on SOL in 2020. It’s about 300nm there - out the Hauraki Gulf and south down to the island in the Bay of Plenty - and back to Auckland. This year we’ll be racing in our ever-popular take on the TP-52. Hau tika!

Africa by Sea - Tangier to Abidjan


Whatever about pharaoh Necho II’s Phoenician expedition of the 7th C BCE, the Carthaginian Hanno the Navigator with more certainty sailed south from Tangier to explore the West African coast two centuries later, but how far he got is a matter of more conjecture. However, if he did the 2300nm to today’s Ivory Coast he would have found little there other than good shelter in the vast lagoons behind the dunes, much the same as today, excepting the highly industrialized port of Abidjan. Not a great haven for a stop-over but let’s take the 90ft Monohull anyway.

Melbourne Osaka Cup Double-Handed Yacht Race 2025

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and this year is such a year. So, this year’s online version is in sync with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organised by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. We’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat which should be a good match for many of the boats entered in the real race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across our course, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
