    Done. It will be available in the next release. But interested in what you are using that file for, rather than the NMEA interface into your router.

    Hi Kipper,

    Getting strange window behaviour; specially dor the DC table.

    Works fine for a while and then returning to post DCs the window looks like below image. You can't hit max or change it's size.
    .
    I've disabled rezize of the table because it gets all screwed up. What you seeing is a local machine rendering issue. Are you up to date with all your drivers and Windows Updates?

    Couple of questions.
    1. Does the popup menu still work?
    2. If so, what happens when you select Refresh?
    3. What happens if you kill the table (hit the x), and then reopen?

    Some of these may fix it, otherwise it's an AGL restart. There's nothing I can do my side, as it's not a code issue.

    Hi Kipper

    Do you think, in a future revision of AGL, it will be possible to integrate the boat's position into the CurrentBoatInfo file?

    Thank you for the work done.
    .
    It is. Called LAT and LON (in degrees). Other angles are in radians.

    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 šŸ˜
    .
    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.

Africa by Sea - Swakopmund to Maputo 2025


Time again to continue our exploration of Africa by Sea, which now takes us around the tip of the continent at Cape Agulhas and up the coast of South Africa to Mozambiqueā€™s marvellous Maputo, where we should find good anchorage in the bend of the Rio Espirito Santo (Umbuluzi) once weā€™ve cleared the 60m high Maputo - Katembe suspension bridge. Itā€™s 1900nm and weā€™ll be glad to be sailing our comfortable and sturdy Xp-55, as we will certainly experience more headwinds!

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2025

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.
Our online version of the race will be a TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto try again after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
