Possibly because I had "ROADS" or something similar ticked in Google Earth. Currentlty on laptop, not desktop so can't check settings. However it did show motorways / roads linking islands in the Lat/logs stated (correctly i hope).

If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

I think you are refering to the two bridges, who connects Fyn and Mainland Jylland!! the southernmost is the old one (1935 i think), The Northernmost is the new one ( ca. 1972). A beautifull one.
Actually, when I visit my parents in law, I can see both of them at the same time (if I turn my head a bit ;-)

Certainly looks nice and possibly I could fit my yacht under it LOL.

Here again having a real chart optional display with depths and clearances would make SoL more interesting, IMHO, instead of basic white sea.

Google earth helps, but does knot have the nautical information overlay that a proper marine chart would show.

Hi Hawk - the race has now been set up in SOL. The wx system has had its lats/lons adjusted but it was done too late to catch the 1030 wx update so the change will be visible after the next update this afternoon.

To view the race for comment/amendment of course/waypoints just do this.

Log in as the sol boat.

Username: sol

Hawk
If I'm not mistaken, these are set up like practice races so the server doesn't "recognize" your finish. That way you can keep sailing to work out any issues in the course. I'm sure RC will have a better description/response.

SP

PS: I'm right behind you on the course!
Obviously... since forgot I was logged as SOL, again!! No doubt more protest from PaulR pending!

Newport Bermuda Race 2026


The 636-mile Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet and the Sydney Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. First raced in 1906, now in its 54th biennial, the Race can again also be participated in online. In real life, the race is open to entry in four different division – Double-Handed, St. David's Lighthouse, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, and Finisterre Division – which in the past we have also offered online. This year, however, our online race will be all-in one-design in silky swift Club Swan 50 yachts, so that your results can count towards SOL’s SUPerBUDdy title, whilst hopefully still giving you a chance of overall line honours against the fastest yachts of the real-life Gibbs Hill Division, especially if you can find some forecast winds that don’t quite work out that way on the real water!

Thessaloniki to Port Said 2026

Welcome back to the Eastern Mediterranean for the fifth race of our Magical Mediterranean Series. Only marginally less unlikely to be ever raced in real life during SOL’s lifetime than our previous race from Tobruk to Iskenderun, this 710nm race takes us from Greece’s ancient northern port of Thessaloniki through the Aegean island maze, south east into the Levantine Sea to a finish in modern Port Said, in splendid Swan 65s!

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2026

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited again to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.
Our online version of the race will be a TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto try again after finishing a run. You will have two weeks to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
