I have just find the app for Ipad ”Puffin” it’s a Webb browser witch allows you to play Sailonline.
It’s working weary slow but I think it is the only one working.

Hi Tomas

Flash support is still a tough one.

There are a few special browsers that render flash at the server side and then output the result to your device. Hence the speed drop.
I used Skyfire some time ago on my windows phone, I think they also have a app. Let us know the ones that work best.
I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

There are also a number of tools that allow you to connect your iPad remotely to your PC/Mac desktop.
They should provide better performance as it is your own computer running the flash...

Apple has a policy of not supporting technology on its devices it has little or no control over, so don't ever expect any iP*** device to support Flash
I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

I was just thinking if anyone had thought of creating an App specifically for Sailonline. It can be done, just a matter of finding the right person. I lead a vey mobile life, a better format for mobile would be a big hit.

It seems that the Volvo iPod App for their version of sail racing is a simple, effective extension to the user.
Don't get me wrong, Sailonline is by far my preferred platform for sail racing on computer. Sadly, my life does not allow to devote more time to racing. But, a simple to use app would make it possible to keep more up to date.
I am sure I am not the only one who feels the same. I do realise the expense involved, but that must be able to be off set somehow...

Starting and finishing in Livorno, this year the race takes you the length and breadth of the Tyrrhenian Sea via little Mortorio (Mortoriotto) off Sardinia to Capri and home again to Livorno. This race also counts towards Sailonline’s Magical Mediterranean Series and the SuperBuddy title. Online, you will be sailing a Mini 6.50, to give you a match against several of the real-life entrants, which you will be able to track on-screen!

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)!
