    Thanks Cap'n.
    I can get on via my own laptop back at camp, that uses the same network. I just learned about ActiveX filtering, yes its disabled on work computers. Just have to come up with a work related reason for me to have ActiveX now.

    Hi, I'm back again, or trying to be.
    Just tried starting a race but clicking on the big blue button I get a white screen and on the Classic link I get a blue screen but nothing loads and no error messages.
    I have IE11, version 11.0.9600.18204 and have Flash version 20.0.0.306 and have tried everything in the "What to do if Sailonline is Unavailable?
    I'm at work so can't really go to IT to fix the issue - any suggestions on how I can make it work?
    Cheers
    Spindrift.

    Thanks RC for coaching me to get badges on my avatar. I have been away far too long and have so much reading to catch up on about SOL and SYC developments in teh last few years. I promise not to be absent for so long again :)

    I can't remember all the plaes I have journeyed to over teh years, so been conservative with badge selection - looking forward to building on it .....

    err, the pic shows leaving SOL start to starboard but the words say to leave to port - which is right?

    "So our boats are a moving point, rounding a point (mark). "
    taking the geometry example above and other mathematical axioms and postulates you could redefine the reference field so the mark point was moving around the boat point and the boat point was stationary. In which case a protest could not be upheld for hitting or passing over the mark, as it would have hit or passed under you.

    Tried getting in to check race at work but got a page saying
    "Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash"
    but I already have Flash installed and it worked a few days ago. Has some setting or something changed that I need something else installed (no admin rights so can't install anything myself :()

    Have sent mail to crew@sailport.se with a couple of screenshots...

    and disable the Google Earth thing too, then it will really keep everyone in the dark...

    Was very interesting to see who had gone where once someone said the GE tracker was working, but even more so if only every 6 hours or some other time, like a regular radio sched.

ORCV Melbourne to Hobart 2024


Welcome to the legendary "Westcoaster," a race that has tested sailors for over 50 years. Spanning 435 nautical miles, this iconic journey takes racers from Melbourne, across the formidable Bass Strait, and around Tasmania's rugged west coast to the finish line in Hobart. Organized by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria, the Westcoaster is renowned for its challenging conditions and adventurous spirit. This year, our SOLers will tackle the course in the swift and capable First 47.7, a yacht launched by Beneteau in 2000, built for speed and endurance in long ocean races. Get ready for an exhilarating ride in one of Australia’s most celebrated yacht races!

Refeno Rally 2024


Although since 1986 this 300nm course from Recife, Brazil, to Fernando Noronha Island has been run many times IRL, we have only used this route twice in SOL. This time it will be the route of the last race in the ARCH 2024 classification.
Although the winner of the general classification can already be determined, the fight for the next places on the podium should be fierce. There are several contenders and Dofour34 have them at their disposal. Since we are starting in Vida_Maldita's home waters, he will give us a 30-minute handicap. Or maybe we should give it to him? 😊

The Beagle in the Azores 2024


And west the Beagle went one final time to round the Cape of Good Hope on May 31 1836. Ashore, Darwin met up with the Astronomer Royal, Herschel, who just happened to be in South Africa at the same time mapping the southern skies. After sounding out his many ideas on evolution and extinction with Herschel, the Beagle now sailed north, stopping briefly in St Helena, Ascension and Brazil, and the Cape Verdes again, to reach the Azores on September 19, 1836. Fitzroy and Darwin at this stage were in a hurry to get back to Britain, but online in 2024 we will stay a little longer to explore this final remote archipelago in our virtual Tall Ship Class B Beagle, 630nm round and about the islands, minding as always in these waters not to bump into any large cetaceans!

Christmas(W) to Christmas(E) Island 2024

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, so prepare your 90ft well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2024 challenge of a reversed race, starting in the Indian Ocean, racing to the Christmas Island in the Pacific! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2024. Please have fun! Fair winds!
