So cannot even get started. Apparently I am stuck in Ireland drinking beer. My son says he can see me there.

Looked for clues on the websites but none work. Others obviously have the same problem

Hi

Cleaning the cache of the browser helps out most commen problems with no display. Check if you have a good version of flash installed (not needed if it was ok before).

We have some cases of people behind a proxy-server that experiencing problems.

Let us know if this helps, sorry to be so technical.

Still stuck in the pub.

Flash upgraded and the other one.
Cache cleaned.
Tried IE and Firefox.
Closed firewall (and reopened it).
Turned modem thing off and on.
Swore at the computer.

First time this sort of thing has happened.

So sailonline did work before you had this problem?
You have sailed in other races without issues?

Real strange I will see what other tips I can give.

Yup. It is strange. Mind you, I am behind the Great China Firewall, but it lets me into the website http://www.sailonline.org/windy/run/147/# and I get the screen with three icons on the left top, and the message at the bottom, "waiting to download the weather map".

If it was the Great Chinese Firewall, they would not let me into the website at all, never mind make posts..

I just registered on http://www.sailonline.org/windy/run/148/# but the same thing. I have no problem with the Volvo race and finished 1,000,000th or something.

If you are in China it's probably proxy servers that is in some way confusing our servers....

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
