    Hi dyflin!
    On page 10 I was requesting something similar. I definately think the zoom should be ahead of the boat. Here is my request again...

    I'd like a separate "Zoom 6 hour" button that centers to the 3 hour point of the 6 hour line and automagically zooms to fill the 6 hours in the window. I ALLWAYS zoom in on my boat and then immediately pan twards that point anyway. If not a separate button then ctrl-clicking the "center to boat" button could perhaps have this feature.

    What about a race where you don't know the weather forecast. Just the current weather? It could run on old weather data.

    Or a long race on old weather data that is speeded up 200 times together with the speed of the boat so that the race is over during two hours. No time for fine tuning, just sailing on intuition. Wouldn't that be fun?

    So, any more thoughts on a Sailonline gathering at the "Alt för sjön" exhibition?

    There was some talk on the chat about it in the Stlm-S:t P. race

    I think I will visit the exhibition Sat March 8.

    It is nice with the new measurement tool, even if you loose the lines when you switch tool. Would it be possible to make these lines stay longer until you erase them?

    What I also would like to have is a parallel ruler and an angle ruler. In most races I have been using papers for drawing angles to be used in the performance plot so that I can find the tangent point on the current wind curve for best course at the moment (not only the VMG). The problem is that this ruler must be floating on top of the performance plot window and it must be free so that you can rotate the ruler (or the performance plot) to align the angle correctly. The red line with the calculated position for every hour at current speed is only part of what I use my paper rulers for. There is no end to what different kind of rulers can help me with in the calculation process. After each race I end up with lots of wasted papers :-(

    Actually a virtual translucent paper layer with a simple line drawing pen that can freely be moved and rotated on top of the different windows would actually be the best tool.

    ...and perhaps current speed. Or perhaps it's not so good for taktics. What do you think?

    About the website. Would it be possible to add the cordintes for each boat so it is easier to find them in the client?

    Talking about visualization... Could the server make screen shots every five minutes and put together a movie over the race to playback when the race is over. That would be very interesting. Let the view automatically zoom so that the 50 first boats are seen in the view. I thought about having Camtasia make screen captures from my own client every five minutes, but I don't have a spare computer for this at the moment. I need to zoom in on my own boat all the time and the view must pan with the boats.

    Arrrgh!!! It has happened to me several times now. I try to delay my new course so I put in a new delay value and hit the button, but forgot to also mark the delay check box. This totally messes up my planning and gives me a penalty performance drop twice since I have to tack back again.

    My suggestion is that the check box is beeing removed and if the delay time is more than 0.0 then there will be a delay. Each time you hit the send button the time will be resetted to 0.0 again. There is no need for two GUI elements for this in my opinion.

    Another thing that I would like is the abiliyt to use the mouse wheel for weather progress even if the focus is in the main window off from the weather progress bar. It would also be nice if it was possible to zoom with the right mouse button (up + down -)

Newport Bermuda Race 2026


The 636-mile Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet and the Sydney Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. First raced in 1906, now in its 54th biennial, the Race can again also be participated in online. In real life, the race is open to entry in four different division – Double-Handed, St. David's Lighthouse, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, and Finisterre Division – which in the past we have also offered online. This year, however, our online race will be all-in one-design in silky swift Club Swan 50 yachts, so that your results can count towards SOL’s SUPerBUDdy title, whilst hopefully still giving you a chance of overall line honours against the fastest yachts of the real-life Gibbs Hill Division, especially if you can find some forecast winds that don’t quite work out that way on the real water!

Thessaloniki to Port Said 2026

Welcome back to the Eastern Mediterranean for the fifth race of our Magical Mediterranean Series. Only marginally less unlikely to be ever raced in real life during SOL’s lifetime than our previous race from Tobruk to Iskenderun, this 710nm race takes us from Greece’s ancient northern port of Thessaloniki through the Aegean island maze, south east into the Levantine Sea to a finish in modern Port Said, in splendid Swan 65s!

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.
