Hi All, Hi Kip'

For this morning, when I try to launch AGL, in the Console, I read :

"C:\SOL\Race0>C:\SOL\Java14\jre_windows\bin\java.exe -Dsun.java2d.uiScale.enabled
=false -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -classpath "C:\SOL\Java14\agl14_3_8.jar;C:\SOL\Java1
4\agl14_lib\*;" main.AGMain autoGribLoader.ini 1.0
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dfile.encoding=UTF8
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: setSelectedIndex:
228 out of bounds
at java.desktop/javax.swing.JComboBox.setSelectedIndex(Unknown Source)
at autoPilot.Gui.<init>(Gui.java:1470)
at autoPilot.AutoPilot.<init>(AutoPilot.java:257)
at main.AGMain.main(AGMain.java:10)"

so...AGL doesn't launch...

Not sure how this has happened to you, but it looks like you have managed to set a GL font that does not exist on your computer. To fix, do the following.

1. Edit the file aqutoGribLoader.in and delete the lines

# GL Font
glFont={whatever yours is set to}

which are at the bottom of the file.

2. Save the file and close it.
3. Launch AGL. It will now choose the default of Arial
Thx Kip'

Problem Solved ;-)

(Font was Yu Mincho)
There is an intermittent issue with the NOAA downloads during the incremental download. It appears NOAA is sending a corrupt file which then hangs AGL. Shutting down and restarting AGL will fix the hang. I have put checks in and currently testing which will hopefully resolve the issue. May take a few days to validate before a new version is released.

Symptoms are that the NOAA download stops prematurely and this exception is being thrown in the command window.

Hi Kip'

...so, we wait to update 14-3-12 to 14-4-1 ?
Hello,

i tried to install agl on windows. I follow all the steps of the manual but when i try to launch AG14_pause i receive this message: C:\SOL\Java14\windows_bat>C:SOL\Java14\jre_windows\bin\java.exe -Dsun.java2d.uiScale.enabled=false -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -classpath "C:SOL\Java14\agl14_4_1.jar;C:SOL\Java14\agl14_lib\*;" main.AGMain autoGribLoader.ini

1. Check that all those folders and file actually exist. Looks like something is missing. If they do not exist, you have not installed it correctly.
2. You should not be running AGL from the install area. You need to create separate race folders and run from there, as explained in the manual.

Might be worth having another careful read through the manual and making sure every step has been followed correctly.


I put some checks into the code, but the problem has not manifested itself again after 4 sets of downloads. Version 14.4.2 has therefore been released, and is good to go.

These was a problem with AGInstallDir.bat is that it was setting the environment variable to C:SOL\Java14\ instead of C:\SOL\Java14\. A new version is in the release area that can be copied and run. Alternatively, edit the environment variable AGInstallDir to match.

This issue is still in 14.4.2. I finally found the bug. It has to do with the NOAA download trying to access the SOL Wx information as the new SOL download is in progress. The result is that NOAA tries to access values that have not been set yet and the thread hangs on invalid data being read. The fix is currently being tested and should be release in the next day or so.

Current work around is to restart AGL.

South China Sea Race 2026


Welcome all to the South China Sea and a virtual chase in Cookson 50’s of the Rolex South China Sea fleet, racing 650nm – as the local red-footed booby flies – from Hong Kong to Subic Bay on the southern tip of The Philippines’ Luzon Island. 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!

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.

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.

SSANZ Round North Island Race 2026 - Leg 1

Welcome to Leg One of the Round North Island Series in partnership with SSANZ. The four-leg circuit of New Zealand’s North Island is a true test of short-handed skill, and it begins with the 150nm passage from Auckland to Mangonui. This year, our SOLers will be racing the dynamic Sun Fast 3600 – Jeanneau’s renowned racer-cruiser and a proven flyer downwind. A gentle opener on paper… but coastal tactics and shifting breezes will demand focus from the start!

New Ice Age 2026 - Browerville to Longyearbyen


Our 2026 long-distance ice-boating challenge continues with a second race in Arctic waters, now from Browerville, where we arrived less than a month ago, continuing east, back to Svalbard’s Longyearbyen, leaving Canada’s Ellesmere Island to port and Denmark’s Greenland to starboard. It’s about 2500nm, which, if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you more than a day or three, thus to complete your first (of several) online circumnavigation of the planet of 2026!

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!
