    Re: Error in CMD Prompt Accessing AGL
    Board » Technical Support
    @siaki
    I think you see that warning in a DOS window.
    Nothing to worry about.

    Maybe your internet-connection was temporarily somewhat slower.

    Does patience the job and is your AGL after some delay working? All is good.

    link info reads:

    should be:

    resulting in:

    Re: SOLVED_No (2) digits behind the comma
    Board » Technical Discussion
    I was lucky because I use qtvlm wit english language. dot as decimal separator is then standard.

    I never used kroppyer's converter but excel & macros to get dc's into brainaids or autogribloader. And there was the same problem with dots and comma's.

    You write
    "(COGs have 3 digits before the comma and 2 digits behind)"

    Use dot . as decimal seperator instead of ,

    Re: QtVLM and SOL
    Board » Technical Support
    @Arno1966:
    I assume you are talking about seeing AIS-targets in QTVLM.

    question: what do you use to get your boat position into QTVLM?

    When I use brainaid's nmea-proxy then after some seconds the whole fleet around me is shown. Using AGL nothing is shown or after a very long time. Maybe I am not long enough busy with qt to see that happen.

    I'm on windows 11
    I uninstalled openwebstart.
    I installed Icedtea-Web
    brainaid's .jnlp files opened/worked much quicker than with openwebstart.

    (I do not know what IHM is but since you 'have never seen' it how do you know it is 'the worst'}

    Maybe hitting the 'GO TO RACE' button instead of
    '▶ Flash' button solves all your problems.

    And if hitting this button does not work then come back here with more specifics.
    - which operating system do you use?
    - which browser do you use? (opera, firefox, internet explorer, edge to name only a view.

    An adobe flashplayer that works in windows will be difficult/near-impossible to find. (Adobe no longer supports it since December 31, 2020)

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.

Race to Up Helly Aa 2026

A-OI!!! The fiery spirit of Shetland’s legendary Up Helly Aa returns, and Sailonline’s annual race to Lerwick is once again upon us. Covering 383 nautical miles from Aberdeen, SOLers will tackle winter waters steeped in Viking tradition. This year, we race the classic Frers 33, a proven cruiser-racer born from the golden era of offshore racing and still a sturdy performer both on the virtual and real water. Can you master the course and reach Lerwick in time for the flames?

SAILING NOTE: Gruney may be approached from any direction but must be passed for rounding purposes as indicated on the chart.

Red Eye - Hobart Convict Run 2026

Back in 2010, one of our SOLers of the first hour, AUS_Scott76, came up with this ‘Convict Run’ out from Hobart, past Cape Raoul and the penal colony of Port Arthur, round Tasman Island, up and back down the east coast of Tasmania, to finish with a tight technical run – so Scott called it – up the picturesque D'entrecasteaux Channel, home to Hobart once again. It’s 250nm, ideal for a bit of ‘Red Eye’ in comfortable Finngulf 43’s, and if the original idea was to pick up some convicts on the way for a bit of R&R and sea air, you may always drop’m back before returning to Hobart!

New Ice Age 2026 - Longyearbyen to Browerville


Although we have by no means exhausted the possibilities of ice boating on lakes at high latitudes or high altitudes, it was noticeable that as our 2025 Series progressed, there were calls from time to time for longer-distance challenges, and so in response to these calls we will pretend that global warming has reversed and as a result the coastal waters of Antarctica and Russia and Canada have fully (and smoothly!) frozen over offering us the possibility of a 4-race New Ice Age series in our trusted no-PL DN machines. Our first leg takes us 2600nm from Svalbard’s Longyearbyen east to North Alaska’s Browerville. You’ll be a few days on the ice, so dress warmly and take some provisions; go!
