at this moment, no boat on my PC, only in the "Boats tab", but not in the map. Only "map" and winds. Impossible to sail...

You have entered a course 082 on the "steer" tab.

Now click on "SEND COMMAND" box.

This sends the command from your navigators chart table to the helmsman on deck.

Currently you are at a TWA of 0 degrees, "In irons", pointing directly into the wind.

Another way to steer is to click on the middle icon on Left Hand side of the map which is a "steering wheel"; then move around on chart with your mouse until you come to your desired course, then click the map to lock that desired course in; then click "SEND COMMAND".

After 30 to 60 seconds you will see the course appear in the boxes on the bottom of the map and you are now under way.

Repeat until you finish.

Good luck, fair winds and smooth seas!

If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

Thanks Paul.
But the problem is other: at times, the boats data are not downloaded. Not my boat, not other boats.
Perhaps an error on my brownser, perhaps in the server...
The Steering tab shows 0º because it have not data...

Hi noone, did you try emptying your browser cache.
It can fix a lot of problems like this.

Thanks, Martijn.
Jeroen thinks that it likes a problem of overloaded grafic system...
If I restart the PC, it works well.

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
