Hi kroppyer I use the phone as a wifi hotspot.
The weather loads ok when at work using another network via ethernet connection.

Replaced wireless router last weekend but still the same "weather loading".

My isp is Spark same as Swift.

Waiting for weather to download

Board » Technical Support

Half way thru Leg 1 I could not download the weather on my laptop thru the wireless network at home, ok at work on the wireless network there.

Works ok using the Sansumg phone as a hotspot using the home wireless network for the Samsung.

The home wireless network is ok when using an Ipad.

Brought new wireless router,nothing has changed still no weather.

I am running Windows 8.1 and using SOL Client Classic, have tried beta but might have used the wrong code, can anyone advise the alternative clients.

Thanks for the help.

Re: Starting to get over it......SOL

Board » General Discussion

After 4 1/2 years of SOLing the "Sloop" is heading into the sunset.

Over those years I have really enjoyed the racing, companionship of people from the 4 corners of the world.

I would like to thank Jakob, Kalle and Jeroen and the new chums AGage, Brainaid, hmm and 76trombones for putting together the best online sailing program on the web and wish them all the best in the future.

I will be lurking and may do the odd race.

Farwell and best of luck to all the SOLers.

Starting to get over it......SOL

Board » General Discussion

I am losing interest in SOLing now, without the need/use of routing programs I feeling left behind and the enthusiasm is on the down. I don't get up for the new weather anymore and not at the computer, well on SOL during the day for the new weathers.
After my sheer brilliant in the Hobart/Christchurch race many years ago and some other good results 9th in the last SOR (Volvo) I have slowly sliding down the rankings, It use to be fun but now it seams to to involved transferring girps (or what ever the electronic form of the wind), polars between computers and programmes and want ever else happens.

I also use to like the short races where we chip the corners, but are people talk about vmgs, vmcs and a whole lot more acronyms I start getting dizzy.

BRING BACK BUCK oops "SOTP".

I have enjoyed the time I have sailed and make contacts in different places around the world, and can only think what the "Gods of SOL" have put into the excellent software.

The "Sloop" might be sailing off into the sunset after crossing the line at Galway.

Current Races:

Auckland to Fiji 2023
Welcome to Auckland and, for the fifth time in Sailonline's history, an epic race to the Melanesian island of Fiji, some 1144nm away. The iconic Steinlager 2 has traditionally been our boat of choice for this event, including in 2020, the last time we raced the course – alone, unaccompanied by a real fleet as it had been #COVID19 quarantined. Alas, this year we will again be racing unaccompanied as low entry numbers has seen the real race cancelled. Hopefully, though, some of the real sailors from the Royal Akarana YC, hosts of the real event, will be joining us online to pit their skills against ours in the ever-changing forecast winds.

Cape Town to Auckland 2023
Welcome to this second RTW race 2023. It's also the June edition of this year's ocean race championship. The course is slightly different from the one sailed in 2020, which then also was part of the RTW series.
This time we will race in the IMOCA 60 foil, as in all RTW races this year. That should guarantee the fun in the South Seas in a truly tough race.
