	Works great on my Galaxy S4, doesn't work at all on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (the first release) - I get the same error as Dana1 which I suspect is just because the hardware in the Tab is not up to doing the job. After comparing tracks on app and PC, the mark appears to be exactly where the rhumbline changes direction.

	Installed it on my Samsung Mini3 and it works well! Seriously good work guys. Well done and Thank You for doing this. There are times when I am away from a pc either at work or at home and I need to make a key move. Although the mini client worked it had obvious drawbacks. Big round of applause! I think I should donate some more money to Sailonline in lieu of payment!!!! George

	It's great to hear that a lot of you have found the Android client usefull About the course markers... Well there are non right now so the only way to know where to turn is by looking at where the course line turns. It should be at the position of where the marker should have been. I will probably add some kind of dot or something there in the future to mark it better. I'm sorry to hear that there are some problems on some devices and the error you get is a standard android error for something going really bad. I can sometimes get it on my Samsung S3 if I suddenly loose internet connectivity while doing a lot of loading. Like after I click on go to race. But I suspect that the problem Dana1 has seen on the Samsung Ace 3 and Alan on the Galaxy tab 10.1 is something worse and it might have to do with hardware like lack of memory or somthing. But really it can be just about anything. I will look around and se if I can find someone I know that has one of those devices so I can debug it better.

	Very nice and handly app, could replace the mobile client, (can be a deal? contact the admin and we can discuss it on the next general assembly) Short feedback in bullets: - Add mark with indication rounded if possible, SOLer love cutting edge - very nice job with the polar and Max VMG downwind/upwind: Numeric value displayed somewhere would be fantastic to help to set the correct angle (yes, sometime the fight is on decimals!!) - would be possible to set DC too? I recognize that app sholud be "lighter" but this would be nice last but not least: 50% of my SOLing pleasure is given by the chat: would be possible to create a "chat only" page? using it now with puffing or whatever else is frustrating... thanks for your time invested on it and to share this with us Gilles ps: on nokia works perfectly

	So since there was a reason to get a brand new Android device I did so. Works perfect on new phone. Thank you Zappe. Excellent work.

	very nice. mobile client is obsolete now. probably google maps satellite view is very demanding on bandwidth. I'll test it on the next race EDITED: Tested for a few days. Excellent!!! Probably an option to visualize only GSHHS data without the satellite overlay (to save traffic) would be a benefit. Maybe with some additions for tablets it can become a full featured client (polar visualization, DCs etc.) --- Last Edited by ita10267 at 2014-10-08 10:27:16 ---

	A bit embarrassing, but I can't even log in.... I'm on an HTC One, but it's me that's the problem

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER. This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024

Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.
