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:

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!

Roma Giraglia Regata 2026

Our eighth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil – is another buddy-up; this one with the Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . Founded in 1984, as the new Traiano yacht Harbour neared completion, the Circola since then has developed into one of the major yachting competition centres in Italy, and next to the 450nm Roma per Tutti (which SOL buddied earlier in the year), the Roma Giraglia Regata is its other headline offshore event. First raced in 2005, the 210nm course takes competitors from Traiano to a rock on the inside of the Ile de la Giraglia off the northern tip of Corsica and back to the Italian mainland for a finish in the bay of Santo Stefano. We’re racing this one in our Class 40!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.
