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 ...

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.

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".

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
