	Hi guys! Every progress has a price! I like the changes very much but... Is it my imagionation or does the new interface download more data each time it updates boat positions? I have noticed a threefold increase of data usage at my end. Three times the data = three times the cost of sailing! Alternatively a third of the time I can spend on line So, for now, I sail very seldom. Question: Is this optional or can it be switched off? Regards George

	There has been no change to the amount of data downloaded by client, except that now the DC list refreshes on startup, and then every 30 minutes, but this is only 1 or 2 Kbytes every hour (at most - even many DCs would be perhps 5Kb), so there is likely something else running that is eating your data up I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	Thanks for all the help trying to get the new interface working for me.I tried everything and it still wouldn't work, so I gave up and just started using firefox.Logged on with IE this morning by mistake and, like magic the new interface is working on there!!!.

	Great news Sally, I still suspect a somthing was storred outside your computer to reduce traffic load. As you seem to be on the Virgin Islands the bandwith could be highly "optimized", over time these stored data get refreshed. Now you can use Sol on both again, so no need to force a browser choice by Sol I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

	I absolutely love the changes you guys have made recently, particularly the no-click zoom amd the new improved polars. Good on you Solgods

	The awful wind sound is still there. Do we need this really? I have always SOL-clients running in the background, we have 1-3 races at a time with different wx-times, so I hear this "gaming indicator" 3 to 9 times a day (always missing a wx at night). Will we have wave sounds in future too? Please stop it Bernd

	Hi Bernd, I agree with you on the sound in a work enviroment so we are certainly looking for a way to switch this on and off in the next version. If there is a way to block the current sound I will get back to you. I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

	AGage said @ 2011-05-24 18:53:28: PerEric Horn said @ 2011-05-24 09:26:53: I do it several times before I round an island, so 154 steps are too many I think. ALL the way out?? Really? may I ask why...? Hi Aaron! Sorry for late reply. No, I zoom in from normal overview to full zoom in and back several times before an important move. I have not counted that number of zoom steps, but I can do it if you wish (Done and it is aprox 100-110 steps). Yes, you may ask way. But as I don´t know how to sail on top level and don´t use softs I need some aces in my sleave, so I keep it for my self.

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.
