Good morning all

Quick question, and I'm pretty sure of the answer, just wanted to check. Can SOL be played on an iphone?

I'm afraid not Baggus at least not at this time.

The race window is completely flash based and support for this on IOS devices is lacking. We have not had the time or resources to develop a custom version for this so far.

Greetings Jeroen

It is possible.

I'm using my iPhone to connect remotely to my laptop through a free download called TeamViewer. This way you can control your boat from your iPhone across WIFI/3G access points.

The setup is quite easy. All you have to do is leave your PC running when you leave home.

I will try that from my HTC - it has flash but is virtually impossible to control your boat. Not that anyone would notice with my courses.

I use logmein, which has a free trial period.

I have managed to find a working solution to use the native SOL interface on the iphone.

Install a browser app call Puffin, which is only 99c in the AppStore. Using that you can login, view and make changes to your boat. You can zoom in and out, look at the weather forcast and plot courses by touching the screen.

One of the icons at the bottom will allow you to switch to 'drag' mode so you can move around the chart or the 'keyboard' mode so you can enter data.

It works really well on both the iPhone and iPad, and has now allowed me to leave the house for longer periods when races are on!

Will this work without your laptop/PC being turned on at home?

Doesn't look like it works on Android.

Yes it is stand alone. Just watch you data useage if you are not on wifi as it reloads just like the normal browser.

I am not an android user so do not know of the best solution for that, sorry.

I can confirm that the Puffin browser app works exceptionally well with the SOL/iPhone combination.

Thanks to TuuleTallaja who found this link to the download:

Quiberon Islands 2026


The Quiberon peninsula extends as a submerged granite ridge a further 15nm or so beyond the La Teignouse lighthouse on the rocks off its southern tip, surfacing as two small islands, Houat and Hoedic, the duck and duckling in Breton, 5nm and 10nm beyond the light. Treacherous, tidal waters, but on SOL that daunts us not. Of course, we've raced here before, mostly Timed Runs out of Quiberon around Belle Ile, just south of the islets, and back, but this time it's a sprint from Belle Ile's capital of Port Marie round the foul fowl and back. A triangular course of 22nm, appropriately enough for Moody S38.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!
