	I'm still up, but Shamrock and hew are reporting that races are loading with no data. No way to tell what's happening, but last time our networks had domain lookup problems this was the temp fix: I think that's the symptom we had with DNS loss. This is the fix that saved North America last time around - good luck!!!: Hard to say how localised this is, but it looks like Ottawa at least is having trouble finding SOL again. The same fix as last time works - on windows machines: Go to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc there should be a file there called "hosts" with NO extension right click it and open-with ... notepad add these two lines: 62.181.230.173 race.sailport.se 62.181.230.171 www.sailonline.org restart It's a good idea to remove these two lines once they are no longer needed, which can be done by adding # to the beginning of each line: # 62.181.230.173 race.sailport.se # 62.181.230.171 www.sailonline.org

	have no access to Canadian race for two hours already.Sailing blindly by Brainaid DC editor and navigation.From time to time checking on Google Earth not to run aground.There is however no turning point north of Belle isle on Google earth so if SOL race does not resume working at that time it will be hard to turn south. africa

	From my observation: Server troubles were at 22.6.2011from at least 0:50 to 2:00 UTC. Web client did not download. Mobile client worked (without map) and Brainaid site was able to update navigation data and fire DC. At 3:30 UTC (may be sooner) Web client downloaded correctly.

	Hmmm, I sent a command at almost exactly 0050 that didnt have the desired effect, perhaps this is the reason? But my toolkit has shown constant connection for the whole race so far - maybe that will also help in these situations, atleast you can see the race in a Google Map, albeit without WX, but you do get your own 'current wx' like in the client and brainaid's Nav page (out soon I promise) Also the WX and BS strip charts in NavMon (and the log i keep) show no breaks in connection... 1 thing though, brainaid's site sends DCs to the sever when you press the 'Apply' button just like the actual client does, it doesnt send the command at the time you specify... So of course any DCs set there should have still worked. Actually his site still working kinda backs up 76Ts DNS resolution 'theory'... I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

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.

Prepare yourselves for an epic 30-day journey, navigating through the unpredictable waters of the South Seas.
