    Hi .Once again pen to paper.I hate computors,but do enjoy the game,but this Beta I have to admit is completely spoiling my(me)game.Firstly the actual course is so small to watch and use,it is only about a third or even less of screen area.The polar is half covered by the advert to join SYC,which makes it useless,and bigger than the course itself.I understand you have to have adverts etc for sponsorship etc,but to the detriment of the game,I dont understand.The coloured tracks are very pretty,but clutter up what you can only just about see,on the old system track came on when boat was selected.Its quite possible that its my system that is faulty,but since everything else works perfectly I have my doubts.Zoom you may say,ok but then you can only see the boats and notthe facilities for adjusting.
    If you can advise me on any way of improving things or what Im doing wrong here I would be mpost grateful!!
    Meanwhile happy sailing to the "contented"Beta users and sympathy to users who may have my problems if any!!
    Thank you

Lake Ontario 300 Challenge 2026

Lake Ontario Offshore Racing (LOOR) welcomes Sailonline sailors to a second virtual version of a race in their annual series, and for the sixth year in succession the LO300. As the name implies, the LO300 is a 300nm offshore race across the length and breadth of Lake Ontario, from and back to Port Credit YC. This year, for the first time, we will be racing the 300nm circuit in Sun Fast 3200s. As usual, there is an overall prize for the SOLer who best bosses Lake Ontario over the two races hosted by Sailonline, this LO300 and the Susan Hood raced back in May, and this year also the race and the Susan Hood count towards the title of Super Buddy 2026; so, let the competition be fierce!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Sao Tomé to Tristan

The fifth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back south down the Atlantic from Sao Tomé on the Equator to Tristan da Cunha on the edge of the Roaring Forties. It’s 2500nm; in your path the Benguela winds and current along the south west African coast, and behind that the St Helena High stretching halfway to South America. So, mind where you go in your Volvo OD65 version 3 (based on sampled real-life race data by kroppyer)!

New Ice Age 2026 - Neumayer Station to Scott Base


For a second-half of long-distance ice-boating, we take our DNs to Antarctica for a circumnavigation of that continent in two legs clockwise, in harmony with the prevailing winds (such as there are), beginning with a race from Germany’s Neumayer Station to New Zealand’s Scott Base. It’s about 3500nm, which, if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!
