To Rainbow Chaser:---As per promise, here is my design for the New AC 72 contender with "Ballasters" to keep it upright on one main foil and a rudder foil, both controlled, of course, to give a fixed 'ride height'.
I am uploading this as a test of the system.
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

AHOY SOLers - the racing engine has been restarted. The DevtDudes are investigating the cause of the stoppage. Please keep an eye on race chat for more current updates.
Hello SOLtesters ...
I can register my boat in to the two races, but didn't charge the wind and the bottom window doesn't load images ... (cache cleared, Mac restarted, etc.. etc ...).
See you ...

Carlo Alberto

Thanks Joanne,
I have a MAC, I entered the new DNS with the application TERMINAL but still does not work ... I'm sure in the next few days the problem will be resolved ...
FW all.
SCARA - hopefully someone with a Mac will come up with a suggestion for you. Sorry I can't be of more help.
OK PROBLEM SOLVED ... (I'm a little hacker ...)

For MAC Users:

Step 1 - Open the Terminal.app

Either by start typing Terminal on the Spotlight, or by going into Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal.

Step 2 - Open the hosts file

Open the hosts by typing on the Terminal That You have just opened:

$ Sudo nano / private / etc / hosts

Type your user Password when prompted.

Step 3 - Edit the hosts file

(DELETE the old DNS Sailonline, if present
97.107.135.234 sailonline.org
97.107.135.234 www.sailonline.org
97.107.135.234 node1.sailonline.org)

add following text lines at bottom of text file:

144.76.111.8 sailonline.org
144.76.111.8 www.sailonline.org
144.76.111.8 race.sailport.se

Step 4 - Save the hosts file

When done editing the hosts file, press control-o to save the file.
Press enter on the filename prompt, and control-x to exit the editor.

Fair Wind ....
Wouldn't it be easier to just clear the DNS cache?
Flush DNS
Includes instructions for windows also.
After that just restart browser.

"clear the DNS cache" didn't work (I have the old OSX 10.5.8) ...
Clearing DNS cache won't work if you have hard-coded the sailonline server IP addresses during one of the DNS outages we have had during the recent years like apparently Scara has done.

I hope that there is no need to that (I don't have the address hard-coded myself) but we are continuing with the same DNS provider (Loopia) as earlier.

For non-tech people, DNS is sort of global phone book which tells where your computer connects with the address "sailonline.org".

What now changed is the location of the server, thus we had to change our address in the "phonebook".

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!
