New HTML5 client

Today a button appeared above the usual "GO TO RACE" button. This new button reads "New HTML5 client" and clicking it brings you to the new HTML5 client. You may have heard the rumours that this new client was under development and will eventually replace the Flash client we are used to. As Flash is being phased out it is becoming increasingly difficult to use sailonline in new browsers, so it is vital to have an alternative. Let me take this opportunity to thank our SOLer ij, who has been responsible for the existence of this new client, brightening the future of sailonline.

We are now making this new HTML5 client available for everyone to use. Be aware that the client is still in a testing phase and that there may still be some bugs and problems with it. The user interface and general functionality are mostly the same as in the Flash client, but you may notice some differences, for example:

There are no contour lines indicating wind strength. The client is not completely finished yet and this is one aspect where work is still being done.
The TWA input field for steering requires a + or - sign. This should prevent some of the accidental tacks we have probably all experienced when we forgot the - sign.
You can monitor multiple chatrooms at the same time. You can now use the chatrooms English and the one for your native language at the same time!

A longer list of changes can be found here. Use that chat and forum to talk with each other about using the new client and its new features. Some SOLers already have some experience with it and may be able to give you some tips and tricks. A forum thread for discussion can be found here

Reports

Commentary

A short cruise, a good breeze, an idyllic setting and a luxury yacht with an unusually bumpy polar might have provided a tactically very challenging race, if the wind direction had been different. But as it turned out, on the day, the three legs of the course became a beat mostly on starboard, a two-part reach mostly on the deeper angle, and a run, mostly on port gybe.

And thus it was that less than 5 minutes separated the first 30-odd boats home, led in on this occasion by bonknhoot, with BS1 (see his report) and Beliberda in hot pursuit.

Well done all!

The A3 - Agage's Around Australia Series was first designed in 2012 following the sudden death of Aaron Gage and our departure from Adelaide back then was set against a background of great sadness. Eight years on and SOLers continue to remember Aaron, almost daily, and we begin our re-running of this epic series (this time with two discards!) sharing fond memories and smiling at what a contribution Aaron made. He would be stoked!

The waters between Adelaide and Melbourne, influenced by the Southern Ocean, can be very tricky indeed, but this time our fleet was steadily blown westwards making the competition for the top spots all the keener! Please congratulate our podium for their success. Good onya!

Abu Dhabi to Dondra 2020
Almost exactly five years ago, SOL, shadowing a real live ocean race, set a mighty fleet of honed and updated OD65s off on a gruelling voyage from Abu Dhabi to Sanya on the southern tip of China's Hainan Island. A month later, the race closed with half the fleet still out at sea. This year, this January, we re-enact this race, but are putting in a stop halfway, after about 2000nm, at Sri Lanka's Dondra, with the second leg scheduled to start a month later; both to count towards 2020's OCCH series. Fair winds!
