Posted by VIbex Posts 24 Registered at 2020-06-01 23:54:58	2020-08-20 16:26:32 - Apple iPhone/iPad client
	It is my pleasure to announce a new iPhone/iPad client app for Sailonline, currently in beta testing. If you would like to sign up for the beta test, you can join using this link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/hHkN9079 This will prompt you to download Apple’s beta testing platform, TestFlight. Once you have that, click the link above to activate the invitation. I am one of the many people who have recently discovered Sailonline due to a canceled race that moved online (Newport-Bermuda in my case). I found the implementation great, and wanted to contribute something to the platform. Since no iOS client was available, and I’ve dabbled in this area in the past, I’ve started working on this and … you can see how far I’ve gotten. While there’s much to be done still, I think there’s a reasonable amount implemented so far so you can test it out. Please let me know what issues you run into, and what features you’d like implemented next! Please note iOS v 13.0 or later is required for this beta. --- Last Edited by VIbex at 2020-08-20 17:08:28 --- --- Last Edited by VIbex at 2020-08-20 17:08:40 ---

	Dark mode has better contrast, too, try it out (set your device to Dark Mode in the Settings app, in Display & Brightness)

	New version (1.8) should be available on TestFlight around Aug 24 12:00z, given Apple's past submission approval timeline. New in this release: - colored wind arrows and barbs - NMEA broadcaster (enable in Settings) --- Last Edited by VIbex at 2020-08-24 02:36:40 --- --- Last Edited by VIbex at 2020-08-24 02:42:08 --- --- Last Edited by VIbex at 2020-08-24 02:42:26 --- Attachments Screenshot_2020-08-23_at_10.32.29_PM.png (358.0 KB)

	Now we are heading to the small islands, I see small white "spots" and small black drawing of islands according to SOL chart. I assume that we have to avoid the white spots as well?
Posted by VIbex Posts 24 Registered at 2020-06-01 23:54:58	2020-09-10 16:49:25 - Re: Apple iPhone/iPad client
	Depends. If you're IRL, avoid the real islands. If you're SOL, only need to avoid the black map outlines, that's the official course coastline. The SOL maps are not as high resolution as Apple or Google maps. (In Dark Mode, the SOL map is the white lines) --- Last Edited by VIbex at 2020-09-10 16:50:40 ---

	Excellent app! On my iphone, to enter a course, it doesn't allow me to input the decimal point. The numeric keypad that shows to input a course has a comma and not a point. The density of wind barbs with the high resolution wx makes the screen too crowded. Nuno nacrr

Jakob's Birthday BBQ Race 2024

Sailonline had two founders and Jakob, the more senior of the two, has his birthday in April which we always like to celebrate with a race through the Stockholm Archipelago from Revengegrundet Lighthouse to his mooring at Baggensfjärden. Traditionally also, like other celebrations this time of year, this feast has been “moveable”, so on this occasion we will be racing on a Wednesday in one of our latest high-performance 40-footers, the Carkeek 40. Please join us then for this always tricky 30nm race. Grattis på födelsedagen Jakob!

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!

St Nazaire Chasse TIMED Race 2024

Welcome to a "chasse" (hunt) from St. Nazaire to La Baule on the west coast of France! This race was designed by SOLer FR_flouflou in 2010. The KER 40 was introduced to SOL in 2016 by SOLer psail, and the Sol-KER was a welcome addition to SOL’s fleet of 40- footers, as it was to the IRL Ker fleet of eponymous - like KERonimo, KukuKERchu and Ice BreaKER. This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024

Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.

Welcome to the second leg of this Round The World series 2024. It's also the April edition of this year's ocean race championship. The course is the same as the one sailed in 2023, but this year we sail the iconic Swan 65, as suggested in the concluding RTW race last year.
Prepare yourselves for an epic 30-day journey, navigating through the unpredictable waters of the South Seas.
