Damn! I missed it. Now I'll no doubt be last in the next race

That's interesting. It made a dramatic difference for me.

Mobile Client - issue with Sony Eriksson phone(s)

Board » Technical Support

Tonight I used the mobile client for the first time on my phone. The chart display was virtually unreadable on all zoom settings, making the client impossible to use. By the time I could get to my laptop my boat was already way past the mark and I had to double back - losing over 15 miles and a lot of places.

After some trial and error I found the problem. In my Sony Eriksson W810i phone there is an option in the Advanced menu (only available when viewing a webpage) called 'Smart-Fit'. This is turned on by default. Turning this option off fixed the problem. This had not caused problems before with other webpages so I don't know why it should only affect SOL.

I hope this info can be of use to other people with the same phone (and maybe other Sony Ericsson phones).

I had a bit of a rant in the chat room earlier. Apologies for that but I felt so annoyed at the time.

Thanks for the link. I didn't know about that!!!

The old placings in the Orno race appear, then disappear, then re-appear, then...

"there will not be wind enough to come close to the best times in either race till sometime Wed., June 24."

I would echo that.

I would disagree with leaving timed races open indefinitely though. At the same time I think the time/date that timed races will be closed should be announced right at the start, not decided arbitrarily afterwards.

Re: Boats Rankings

Good question - I was wondering the same thing. In the Orno race I have raced three times so far, finishing in #209, #89 and #52. For some reason #52 is not showing up anymore.

Edit - Now #52 *is* showing up! What's going on?

Edit again - Now #52 has disappeared again!!!

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!
