    Re: Problem with course selection in new client.
    Board » Technical Support
    Although I prefer the new flash tool over the old client, I have to say exactly the same happened to me as mentioned by captjack1942 as well last night. I zoomed in all the way over the finish line and saw my own '6 hour ahead line' crossing easily the southern tip of the finish line - with some head room. However, I also crossed the line and kept going until I hit land the other side. I woke up and sailed back over the line a second time before it was registered.
    Maybe - the finish line could change colour like the rhumb line when you are on course to hit it?

    Re: Hesitant display on Laptop.
    Board » Technical Support
    so, just in case this helps anyone else. I found a cure for this. Previously I was using the Intel PROSet / Wireless utility to logon to my wifi network. I disabled this and allowed Windows to manage my wireless connection and then all came good.

    Now I can sail from anywhere in the house...

    Hesitant display on Laptop.
    Board » Technical Support
    I have a hesitant display on a Laptop.

    I have the client installed and working well on two desktop pc's, one wireless the other wired. However when I installed on my laptop I get a hesitant display, that is - sometimes the client does not respond, the clock in the top left stops for a few seconds, as does the display, polar etc then just starts again. The laptop itself appears fine.

    HP Compaq nc8230,
    512MB RAM, 2.1GHz CPU
    XP Pro SP3
    ATI Mobility Radeon X600 display
    [1680 x 1050, 32bit depth]

    I have the latest video drivers from HP’s website, have tried with and without firewall and with no other apps running. It is connected to the same home network and DSL internet connection as the two working desktops via wireless. [54Mbit/s connection signal strength measured as ‘Excellent’ by windows].

    On exiting the app, I see a log error box. Log says;
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "gui\glmap.pyc", line 156, in MouseMoved

    I would welcome any ideas?

    Thanks

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2026

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited again 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 two weeks to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
