Not sure. I think it can't find C:\SOL\Java14\agl14_1_0_1.jar. Try upgrading to the new version and see what happens.

I have no Current Boat data tab. Unable to add AIS Boat List. No display of DCs with PL loss.
Unable to set DCs, therefore unable to refresh DCs in game.

Hi guys, I'm at a bit of a loss with setting up this version on a Mac. In particular this passage in the manual about setting the 'execution bit set'. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

6.For Mac and linux users only:a.Navigate down to /SOL/Java14/macOS_linux_shfolder. The files will have a .shextensionb.These files will need to have the execution bit set using the shell command chmod +xbefore they can be run.c.It is preferable to add the export AG14InstallDir=/SOL/Java14/export AG14Version=agl14_2_1export JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Dfile.encoding=UTF8into you /etc/profile. That way they will be permanently set.d.Once the profile has been updated and saved, open a new shell and type echo $AG14InstallDirYou should see /SOL/Java14/returned.

For some reason it has tried to access a button which has not been defined yet. I can't reproduce the error. Have you waited until the initialisation is complete and the DCs have been loaded before trying anything? You will need to restart and try again.

--------------------------
It is driven off shell scripts. Have a read through this this which will explain everything you need to know about creating and running shell scripts. Pay particular attention to environment variables, in particular, how to set them permanently as the system relies on them at run time as well.

Thanks Kipper I will have a read.
Still no joy Andrew.
I downloaded 14.2.1 Version (without maps).
Carefully carried out install instructions.
It loads but with same Pointer exceptions.
As well as greyed out "Current Boat Date" tab, the Mayday respondents and AIS contacts are also greyed out.
It may be due to my PC not being able to use Open GL.
Is it possible to provide a link to the previous version files? That worked with Use "Open GL Engine" not selected.
Regards
Dave

The previous version should still be there unless you deleted it (AG14_1_0_1.jar). Just edit AG14Version.bat, change AG14_2_1 to the old version (AG14_1_0_1), and run AGVersion.bat. If you don't have AG14_1_0_1.jar, I've put a copy on OneDrive. Download it and place it in your Java14 folder.

That being said, you should seriously look at why you computer does not support OpenGL. It's been around for years and is supported in software even if you don't have graphics card support. Alternatively buy a cheap graphics card with OpenGL support and install it.
Thank you Andrew.
14_1_0_1.jar now downloaded and working well. I will look into getting a new graphics card. I will just have to be careful with PL.

SSANZ Round North Island Race 2026 - Leg 3

Leg Three of our Round North Island Series, in partnership with SSANZ, keeps the pressure on! From Cook Strait, the fleet turns north for a 187 nautical mile passage up the east coast to Napier. It may look like a quick overnighter, but shifting coastal winds and the ever-lively Cook Strait demand sharp focus. In our responsive Sun Fast 3600s, a proven short-handed racer and powerful downwind performer, tactical decisions and precise timing will make all the difference!

The start time for this race may change at short notice to align with the real race. The confirmed start date and time will be announced via an in-race “L” flag message — Please monitor race communications closely.

Dyer Dhow Derby 2026


Most winter weekends, SOLer wsguerin and his friends at the Mamaroneck Frostbite Association venture forth on Long Island Sound to race Dyer Dhows, originally designed as WWII tenders. Indestructible little boats, great comradeship and serious short sharp races of 10 to 20 minutes duration. Sailonline now invites you to experience the joys of the Dhow in winter, virtually, by way of a slightly longer 14nm race: from Mamaroneck to Execution Rocks, over to the Gong Buoy and back to Mamaroneck. And if the wind pipes up to 20kn and beyond, you'll find SOL's customized polar will plane, rather than nosedive!

Chances are it will be a fast downwind ride, so see how you can keep up with the real-life fleet which we hope to be able to follow on our monitors.

SSANZ Round North Island Race 2026 - Leg 2

Leg Two of our Round North Island Series is where the real challenge begins. After Mangonui, our SOLers face a demanding 491nm passage around the top of the North Island and down the rugged west coast toward Cook Strait. Long miles, exposed waters, and relentless tactical choices will test every SOLer. In our powerful Sun Fast 3600s, a proven short-handed performer and true downwind flyer, endurance, timing, and smart routing will be key to success!

Iceland to the Falklands 2026

Welcome to an all-new route, the first of three Round the 'Old World' of Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. To give each leg of the ROW a bit of length we'll try to hug the coasts as little as possible, so starting in Iceland our first leg of the series, which will also be the final leg of our Quarter 1 Ocean Championships takes us 7200nm to the Falklands, the full length of the Atlantic end to end. To make sure we'll get it done within the month we'll be sailing our Maxi Trimaran.

This year, our SOLers will be racing the dynamic Sun Fast 3600 – Jeanneau’s renowned racer-cruiser and a proven flyer downwind.
