    Hi all

    Been away from SoL and qtvlm for a while, and have forgotten the little that I knew before.

    I am trying to figure out how to run a routing that takes the Gulfstream into account. I know it can be done, but age is beginning to tell :-)

    I just filled in the cells per other polars which I know work, not converted from a txt file or any other format. What do I need to do with the csv file to make it work?

    I'm having issues converting an excel file into csv format. I follow the instructions, yet QTVLM won't accept it. Can anyone help me and show we where I went wrong?

    Coming back to Expedition (and SoL, to be fair) and after a few years away, and I cannot figure out how to connect Brainaid's NMEA to Expedition. I have no issues with QTVLM. Can someone put me out of my misery please?

    It says Baggus, you're not the Messiah, you're a very naughty boy. The missing link, many thanks. I can now go back to figuring how my babies work.

    Tried everything, nothing works. Perhaps it doesn't work with v 5.4-3

    Thank you Sir. I thought I'd done that (I was following the conversation you had with the French chap on the qtvlm site).

    Is the IP 127.0.0.1 taken from the Brainaid NMEA ip address for your computer, or is it the same for everyone?

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? 😊

Tristan da Cunha TIMED Race 2024

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!
