    Hiya gator - thank you for your proposed course. I have had a quick look at it in Google Earth, though, and it looks a lot of fun! I love the description!!

    It will be added to the List of Proposed Races yet to be raced as a week race so keep an eye on the draft calendars as they appear in the Race Calendar Forum and if you see a spot that works for it, don't hesitate to shout out!

    :-)

    Possible SOL Connection Problems
    Board » Technical Support
    Overnight SOL's Development Team introduced a new race client. For some reason this appears to be causing problems for a few SOLers and is related to Adobe Flash. Please make sure you are using the most up to date version of Flash Player, empty your browser cache and if that doesn't help, try using a different browser.

    If none of this helps then unfortunately you will need to wait for the Development Team (who are spread across the globe) to coordinate a solution. It will probably not be for some hours, but please keep trying!

    Tempest - path in kmz file now corrected!! Thanks.

    So if you won't be sailing it does that mean you will be skating it??!! :-D

    Any suggestions for a suitable boat to match the pace of average skaters??

    Re: BALTIC WX UPDATES
    Board » General Discussion
    The reason for using Baltic weather is that it affords grid sizes much smaller than those of NOAA and thus makes racing in Sailonline's home waters more fun.

    BUT this only happens if the map/chart area is small enough to permit the use of these small grids (high definition if you will).

    It makes no difference to how weather/courses/races are set up if we choose global_gfs vs MM5 Baltic.

    My suggestion then is that where there is no "definition advantage" to be gained by using Baltic MM5 then we use global_gfs. This means that only where we are sailing in small spaces in the Baltic area (some archipelago races for example) will the updated-twice-daily super-high-definition wx grids will be used.

    How does that sound?
