    I've generated the Expd gpx file and should be able to incorporate it into the DC table.

    AGL may be able to do it for you. Try these steps.
    1. Open the GPX as a waypoint file in AGL, and clean it up there. You will need to read the manual on what the waypoint commands do.
    2. Check them using the VMG waypoint checker, and fix as needed.
    3. Use the Convert VMG waypoints into DCs option, and finalise your DCs. You MUST read the manual on how to do this as there are some steps that must be followed on how to do this.

    Hi, New laptop so new download.
    At step 3, rather than getting folder C:\sol\Java24, I got folder
    C:\solAGL24_1_0_With_maps.
    The Java24 folder was found in this.
    Not sure if it is required, but I just copied the Java24 folder back up to C:\SOL and everything worked.
    .
    .

    That's a result of how you unzipped it. You need to use the "Unzip here" option. But if it does end up in a folder of the zip file name, simply cut the Java24 folder in there, and paste it into your C:\SOL folder, and everything will work.

    Re: AGL Issues

    Firstly, there is an existing thread for AGL 23 Issues. Please post in there in future. Solutions:
    1. Upgrade to the latest versions.
    2. Looks like you have unreliable internet. You must have a good internet connection for AGL to work. I think both points 1 and 2 are related to that.
    3. This is a documented bug, read 9 Known Issues and Bugs in the manual. There is another with Conditioning DCs

    There is also an issue with Windows 11 and DisplayLink ethernet adapters locking up which is affecting me, and you may be a victim of the same issue. I am in the process of testing out Java 24 to see if that fixes the issue.

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
