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".

Magical Mediterranean 2026 - Benghazi to Korcula

Red Eye 2026 - Georgian Bay

Welcome to the sensational scenic Georgian Bay of northern Lake Huron, the first area of the Great Lakes to be visited by Europeans in 1615, so former SOLer A2R informed us when he designed this geometrically tortuous course of 317nm criss-cross through its island maze. Originally known as Lake Manitoulin, in 1822 the bay was renamed after King George IV after his succession to the throne. This time we’ll take the very flashy Fareast 31R, which hopefully should keep you wide awake!

Tall Ships 2026 - Stavanger to Aalborg


Welcome to the fourth of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . This fourth race is from Stavanger in Norway into the Skaggerak to a finish off Denmark’s Aalborg and perhaps an Aquavit to toast the adventure afterwards – a final circa 250nm in Sailonline’s classic Clipper 240.
NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

Chinook Salmon - Canada to Andreanovs


A year after spawning in the upper reaches of the rivers of British Columbia, Chinook Salmon develop the age-old urge, so familiar to SOLers, to go to sea, heading for different parts of the northern Pacific Ocean. This race catches up with a particular school with an instinctive memory for the Andreanov Islands far west on the Aleutian Islands chain, as they depart the Salian Sea between Vancouver Island and the San Juans. It’s 2200nm and we’re taking the 60ft Trimaran, in the hope we can keep up!
