2009-11-20 01:14:19 - Server lost
I lost the SOL-Server around 0000 GMT 2009-11-20 for about 30 min (tested from several pcs and 2 locations). The same failure showed up at 2009-11-18 at about 1800 GMT.
A common problem or only here (Germany) ?

Greetings I also experienced this "Unable to Connect to Server" anomaly yesterday. Not sure if others who stayed in the program were affected or not. I signed off for a meal and after about 1.5 hours could not raise even the homepage to SOL. I am in the US (Michigan) so this was not just in Europe. I wondered if this was a symptom of a DNS snafu of some sort & if this was the case it would be helpful to know the numerical designation for the SOL server in case of a future repeat of this type of episode.

I just downloaded the Sailonline client and I constantly get an error saying "Lost connection with the server, could not update boats". I can play the game with the online client but not the one on my computer, is there something I can do or just wait?

That is an old client which is not used anymore. Throw it away and browse here http://www.sailonline.org/windy/run/187/#

Magical Mediterranean 2026 - Benghazi to Korcula

Red Eye 2026 - Georgian Bay

Welcome to the sensational scenic Georgian Bay of northern Lake Huron, the first area of the Great Lakes to be visited by Europeans in 1615, so former SOLer A2R informed us when he designed this geometrically tortuous course of 317nm criss-cross through its island maze. Originally known as Lake Manitoulin, in 1822 the bay was renamed after King George IV after his succession to the throne. This time we’ll take the very flashy Fareast 31R, which hopefully should keep you wide awake!

Tall Ships 2026 - Stavanger to Aalborg


Welcome to the fourth of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . This fourth race is from Stavanger in Norway into the Skaggerak to a finish off Denmark’s Aalborg and perhaps an Aquavit to toast the adventure afterwards – a final circa 250nm in Sailonline’s classic Clipper 240.
NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

Chinook Salmon - Canada to Andreanovs


A year after spawning in the upper reaches of the rivers of British Columbia, Chinook Salmon develop the age-old urge, so familiar to SOLers, to go to sea, heading for different parts of the northern Pacific Ocean. This race catches up with a particular school with an instinctive memory for the Andreanov Islands far west on the Aleutian Islands chain, as they depart the Salian Sea between Vancouver Island and the San Juans. It’s 2200nm and we’re taking the 60ft Trimaran, in the hope we can keep up!
