    To the Sailonline team,

    Great addition with the extended predicter tool. Thank You to all.
    When you use many DC's, would it be possible when you place your computer mouse to highlight one DC, that a dot appears on your predicted course so you can locate the DC on the map?

    Thank you guys.

    Team, the info (map of the race) of the A3 2020 leg 3 loaded on the web page is not correct. It should be changed.
    Thank you for your dedication.

    Morning team and again well done.
    A suggestion for the html client:
    Could we have a toggle button on the screen that removes all tracks except the official tracks. In some instances (i.e multiple tours, or passing by or around the same locations) there are too many tracks on the screen and it gets confusing when playing on a small media.

    Just a suggestion.

    Bon vent

    Guys, so far it works well. Thank you for your time and patience.

    As an improvement, could it be possible when you set a DC, that the predictors (both) starting at DC point are shown on the map?

    Regards from Altair

    To whom it may concern,

    Had to renew my membership at the last minute today on 31/01/2020 and discovered afterward that I am not listed as SYC member anymore. Will I regain the membership? Will my sailing history be restored.

    Thanks

    Team,

    Nice job and Thank you.
    Few points before reading all the inputs on the new client and maybe you already responded but I can't find it in the chat.
    1- Chats are not saved on the computer. So we loose earlier inputs.
    2- Cannot scroll down the list of boats in the ranking tab.
    3- With regards to knobs allowing to change the map display, if we had knobs that could allow us to toggle between wind arrows to wind TWA/TWS from the map screen without having to go to settings each time.

    Note that all points above are valid from the computer or the tablet I use.

    Voila.
    Great job you guys are doing.
    Paul

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Samoa to Hawaii


The second race of our new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, takes us northward again up the Pacific Ocean, now from Samoa at 13.5 degrees South, across the Equator to Hawaii, famed for its breaking surf and active volcanoes, on the edge of the Tropic of Cancer at 19.5 degrees North. It’s 2300nm, so we’ll take our very steady Steinlager II. Race #1982

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!

West Papua to Oregon 2026

Our next race in our Ocean Championships is the first of a series of great natural migrations we will track in 2026. The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed marine reptile on planet Earth, and chooses to breed in warm tropical waters, but prefers to forage in more temperate habitats, travelling thousands and thousands of miles effortlessly annually to maintain this way of life. Our race will follow one of the typical trips of this turtle, from breeding grounds in the seas off West Papua to the coast of Oregon. It’s only 5900nm, so to keep up, but in comfort, we’ll follow in our Gunboat 90.

Race to Up Helly Aa 2026

A-OI!!! The fiery spirit of Shetland’s legendary Up Helly Aa returns, and Sailonline’s annual race to Lerwick is once again upon us. Covering 383 nautical miles from Aberdeen, SOLers will tackle winter waters steeped in Viking tradition. This year, we race the classic Frers 33, a proven cruiser-racer born from the golden era of offshore racing and still a sturdy performer both on the virtual and real water. Can you master the course and reach Lerwick in time for the flames?

SAILING NOTE: Gruney may be approached from any direction but must be passed for rounding purposes as indicated on the chart.
