Hi Kroppie, yes it is all to do with screen size and resolution. What I meant by 60% was that the type in my SOL header for example could fit in about 8 rows of type between the top and bottom of the header, whereas yours could probably only fit in 5-6 rows. So I mean that proportionately to the space available for type in the header, my type is much smaller.

My monitor, by the way, is 23" I think my new computer supports a higher resolution than the previous one, but to be honest at the highest supported resolution the type is just way too small. So are icons and everything else. It's probably great for looking at high res photos or videos, but after playing around with Chrome and Windows font size settings for hours, the best answer for me is to drop back to 1680 x 1050 screen resolution. On my 23" monitor, that seems a fair balance. I'll see how it goes.

Sail Around Turkey 2023

This is one of Sailonline's iconic and more challenging races. Our IMOCA 60 Foil high-speed yachts will sail across three seas (Black Sea, Sea of Marmara, Mediterranean Sea) and two beautiful straits (Strait of Istanbul - Bosphorus and Strait of Canakkale - Dardanelles). Altogether 1372 nm of great and demanding sailing from Hopa (the easternmost point of the Turkish Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost point of Turkey's Mediterranean coast). Get ready for a lot of fun; we are waiting for you at the starting line.

Sinbad Seeks Spices 2023
Having surveyed Arabia, Sinbad Al-SOL’er next invites you to race him on his second of seven epic voyages to every corner of the Indian Ocean and beyond, this time to seek spices in Zanzibar, departing from Xaafun, a trading post on the tip of the Horn of Africa since the days of the Mycenaeans and on through Roman times to the Nights of 1,001 of AL-Sail’or, Al-SOL’er’s illustrious ancestor. SOLing by the sun and the stars, aka seat-of-the-pants, the voyage will take you east as far as Praslin island, south as far as Anjouan, to Zanzibar’s Unguja for all things spices, but only back as far as Mogidishu – another exhausting 3000nm adventure, this time in Reichel/Pugh 66s.

Newport Harbor to Cabo San Lucas 2023

This 850nm race down the Baja coastline from California’s Newport Harbor to picturesque Cabo San Lucas in Mexico runs in odd years. This year it’s an odd one, and we are delighted to be able to offer online racers the opportunity to match their skills against the ‘real life’ fleet and against each other sailing slippery Santa Cruz 70 sleds!

Lanzarote to Grenada 2023
It should be a great time of year to sail the third Ocean race of this Year in our luxurious Xp55, from the Canaries, 2865nm down to the lush Caribbean island of Grenada, famed for its rum, spices and chocolate. Serious chocoholics can even sign up for a tour, which includes a scrumptious three-course lunch spotlighting chocolate in every course.
