  • Re: Aaron James Gage - 1971-2012
    Board » In memoriam
    These news bring me so much sadness. We have lost a friend, and the world has lost a bright mind that had so much more to give. Aaron was one of those people that you knew burned bright from the first time you talked to him. Always great, always striving to learn, always passionate.

    My thoughts go to his family in these hard times. Aaron, you will live on in our memories. Rest in peace.

    I removed the contents of the Schakel's list since it is only work in progress and does not represent a true/complete outline of the future races. Sorry :)

    Not sure about the cursor thing - sounds like a flash bug. Apple is not going to kill flash - they're just not going to ship it by default with Safari.

    You could also try Chrome - it ships with its own flash version embedded!

    How long do you wait before reloading - the client SHOULD show the new command result within 30 seconds (and most likely < 15 seconds). Are you behind some caching web proxy?
  • Re: Preview vs Post
    Board » Technical Support
    Well, the forum software basically sucks, that's the closest answer I can give ;) I've started a slow process of looking at alternatives but integrating them into the website is a good chunk of work...
  • Re: The "two boat rule".
    Board » Sailonline Yacht Club
    The one boat per race per user rule is mainly for two reasons:

    1) To avoid situations where people cover multiple strategies

    2) To avoid users taking up "more than their share" of server resources (the number of boats that can be handled by the system without server upgrades is finite.

    So in general, no, it's not allowed to have multiple boats at any time, much because 2) will always be an issue.

    Hmm, yes, knowing that a lot of the SOL battles are taking place in office environments, maybe a more discrete sound should be used?
  • Re: "Rounding Marks"
    Board » General Discussion
    The result of todays excitement is a server bug. Normally the server "un-registers" the rounding if you go back outside the mark. We are currently investigating this bug and will also most likely correct affected boats.

    Please DO NOT do that, it's a very old version, among other thing containing a nasty bug caused A LOT of data to be downloaded unnecessarily.

Aden to Goa 2025


Europeans are primarily acquainted with the historical narrative of how spices reached their continent from distant regions. However, the spice trade from Goa to Aden predates the modern era, as detailed in this article. Sailonline is now reversing this route, organizing an eastbound yacht race of approximately 1700 nautical miles across the Arabian Sea for our 21st-century Archer 78 yachts. Wishing you fair winds and may the enticing aroma of spices guide you safely to your destination!

Lake Namtso Ice Race


To kick off our annual Ice Yachting Series, we will travel to Tibet and to one of the World’s highest lakes, Namtso, the “Heavenly Lake”, at an altitude of 4720m. Just fly to Gonggar Airport via Kathmandu, and get a taxi to Lhasa where the Dali Lama lives, then hire a truck with guide to take you and your DN and gear a further 200km north across the Nyenchen Tanglha mountains to Xianga where a 95nm triangle will be beaconed out on the ice for your enjoyment. Although like most of the Tibetan lakes, Namtso is a saline sump with no outflows, rest assured it is bitter cold there and ice is guaranteed. Mind the monks, you’ve no PL!

Red Eye - Wellington to Nelson 2025


Welcome indeed to our first race of six “Red Eye Specials” - short overnighters through tricky high resolution winds, that will likely have you setting an alarm or two to not miss a weather update or tight rounding or three. This first one is a 105nm IRL classic out into New Zealand’s Cook Strait usually raced around the same time as our online race will start, raced only once before on SOL in 2012, and which on this occasion we will take on in our J-130!

Vendee Home - Cape Horn to Olon 2025

Welcome to our 2025 Ocean Race Championships starting off with the classic 6900nm drag race from Cape Horn back to the coast of Brittany leading or following the boats of the Vendee Globe fleet. A new polar from the board of the BNH Design Partnership is being made available to you for this one, in the hope that aboard her you too will be able to cover 600nm in a day when the conditions are right! It's winter outside, so like the IRL sailors, enjoy and stay inside!

AGage TIMED 100 Race 2025

SOL's gift to the memory of AGagewas a yearlong series of races circumnavigating Australia. This 100 nm race takes place in the St. Vincent Gulf off Adelaide to mark 12 years since the too-sudden end to the life of this remarkable SOLer. These were Aaron's home waters - he was a total competitor so... race to win! Please take the time to read the many tributes left in his memory. This is a TIMED race, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
