thanks for that kalle and for your interest and follow-up. Have looked at that link, but have no idea what to do with the info. Off to bed soon, will worry about it tomorrow.

You need to put 2 addresses into your HOSTS file which on Windows systems is located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and on Linux in the etc\ directory. These addresses are:

IP address host
62.181.230.173 race.sailport.se
62.181.230.171 www.sailonline.org

There is a catch, if ever Sailonline is assigned new IP addresses, your browser won't be able to find them.

Still nothing, I give up. I am no IT guru so back to VR for me. Sorry, but waste of a week.

One more thing: whenever you've made changes to your hosts file, you'll need to restart your browser to make the change take effect.

Squall: The incorrect zone file from was pushed with a "time to live" of 24 hours, so all name servers should be re-updated about 20:00 UTC with the correct information.

I am still unable to get it working after 16 hours of not seeing my boat. As far as I am concerned the race should be cancelled as it is no longer a fair race.

I had access at home this am but at work now and I can't get into the race. Is there a problem again or is just something at my end? I'm in the USA and on a Mac (so the PC suggestion was not helpful).

There's a hosts file on OS X as well, in the /private/etc directory. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27291 for details.

1) It can take up to 24 hours (counted from approx 20.30 UTC yesterday) for the issues to resolve, depending on your ISP. Please see previous link for official information.

2) This is an error outside of our control which affected all .se domains. Please see previous link for official information.

3) We will not cancel Poor Man's Race. These things happen and over time the advantages/disadvantages will even out.

4) If you edit your hosts file, I recommend you remove the information when the issues are resolved since it can cause you trouble in the future if we move our servers.

Roma Giraglia Regata 2026

Our eighth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil – is another buddy-up; this one with the Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . Founded in 1984, as the new Traiano yacht Harbour neared completion, the Circola since then has developed into one of the major yachting competition centres in Italy, and next to the 450nm Roma per Tutti (which SOL buddied earlier in the year), the Roma Giraglia Regata is its other headline offshore event. First raced in 2005, the 210nm course takes competitors from Traiano to a rock on the inside of the Ile de la Giraglia off the northern tip of Corsica and back to the Italian mainland for a finish in the bay of Santo Stefano. We’re racing this one in our Class 40!

Bornholm PYOC


Welcome to the Baltic Sea, where we are about to hold another sprint race. The course runs from the north to the south of the beautiful Bornholm island. There are only two waypoints, the start and the finish so the choice of which side of the island to sail along is up to you. Our Albin 79s will cover a distance of approximately 23 nautical miles.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.

Carib Rum Run 2026


Ahoy, ye landlubbers and seasoned salts! Welcome back to Sailonline’s legendary Carib Rum Run, perfectly timed to kick off on International Talk Like a Pirate Day, 19 September!

This year, we command the magnificent Falkun—the ultimate high-tech superyacht modeled after the iconic Maltese Falcon. This 1759nm slalom takes us through the Caribbean’s rum islands to plunder barrels from local distilleries and deliver them to the rum-parched sands of Cancun.

Join SYC before the finish to disguise yer boat with a pirate name for this race only. Hoist the sails, sharpen yer cutlasses, and plot your winning course!
