Hej SKOVSER.

Of course.
You will find a link to "brainaids site" via "Links" on Sailonline's homepage.
On "brainaids site" choose "Sailonline Toolbox".
In the toolbox you log in with your sailonline login and choose the race you want.
This is where you get the weather gribs, the polars and other stuff.
Click on "Navigation" and then click on the link in blue writing. This will download the NMEA Proxy for YOUR boat.
Click on the downloaded file (uses Java), fill in your password and click on "Login".
Now you only need to click on "Start" and you are up and running.

Hope this helps. :-))

If you need further assistance I can be reached on SKYPE as finn0703

Thanks a lot Bimmer,
I got it to work with Firefox. I tried with Chrome a number of times, but failed.
Probably because of Java not running on new Chrome.

Thanks again :)

Viva Bimmer.

The GRIB file can be any format qT reads.
The "numbers" are "TWS" on the nodes of the GRIB, something you get tweaking the menu called with the "windsock" icon.

Meanwhile, I was looking the new OR and ... look to the attached pic.

Nice jump!
Sail Fair.

Hello Bimmer, everything works great on qtvlm until I get to the NMEA proxy part. The saved file has a IE symbol next to it and when I click on it it comes up with options open or save and thats as far as I can get.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Irish Rover.
Are you using IE as your standard browser?
What happens if you click "Open"?

Bimmer.

Feel free to contact me on Skype (finn0703)

I use Firefox as standard, when I click open it creates another line with open or save options as well and keeps repeating this action if I click open or save.
I'm not very computer savvy so it's a bit frustrating!

Do you have Java on your machine? Otherwise go to Java and download it.

Please download Skype and call me. We can fix it in 10 minutes :-)

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
