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".

Camel or Balloon - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!
