Ok, one solutions is of course to support us by joining SYC - with the bonus that the SYC ad completely disappears =)

Hi Kalle

As a SYC member myself, I have a problem with ur reply to Bugsie re SYC advert on polar screen, when u said quote to solve the problem join SYC, this is not in the best interest of the Club or SOL, as they have one member of the family as a SYC member, an no restrictions to viewing polars, yet the other has the join SYC logo across the polars, are we going down the track of the money hungrey VOR game sites or keep this as pure an honest as the best Virtual Sailing Site

Regards Aussie Col

Hi, it was meant as a joke - however you must also agree that it also was a good workaround to the problem :)

I have made some changes in the drawing code which should further improve the placement of the ad on small screen. However, below a certain size the banner will still partially cover the polar. That is a trade-off - if we would decrease the polar size below that limit it would be unreadable for that reason. I welcome more input in this issue.

If anyone also have a better way to promote SYC I am also listening - the banner just seemed like a good idea. We do put in quite an effort in this project (a lot of our own money and time), so SYC memberships are crucial for the long term survival and development of SOL. We are very happy and thankful for all the people who has made the decision to support us via SYC - I cannot thank you enough.

Kalle, I think the flash interface is very good now. But I still miss one utility from the old client.
The possibility to progress the wind forecast for 3 hours with arrow-keys and for 6 or 12 hours with page-down/up-keys.

I hope it is possible to fix that too?

Sambal: It might not have the correct "response", but if you first click on the weather time "marker", you can then change time with left and right arrow keys.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Samoa to Hawaii


The second race of our new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, takes us northward again up the Pacific Ocean, now from Samoa at 13.5 degrees South, across the Equator to Hawaii, famed for its breaking surf and active volcanoes, on the edge of the Tropic of Cancer at 19.5 degrees North. It’s 2300nm, so we’ll take our very steady Steinlager II. Race #1982

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!

West Papua to Oregon 2026

Our next race in our Ocean Championships is the first of a series of great natural migrations we will track in 2026. The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed marine reptile on planet Earth, and chooses to breed in warm tropical waters, but prefers to forage in more temperate habitats, travelling thousands and thousands of miles effortlessly annually to maintain this way of life. Our race will follow one of the typical trips of this turtle, from breeding grounds in the seas off West Papua to the coast of Oregon. It’s only 5900nm, so to keep up, but in comfort, we’ll follow in our Gunboat 90.

Race to Up Helly Aa 2026

A-OI!!! The fiery spirit of Shetland’s legendary Up Helly Aa returns, and Sailonline’s annual race to Lerwick is once again upon us. Covering 383 nautical miles from Aberdeen, SOLers will tackle winter waters steeped in Viking tradition. This year, we race the classic Frers 33, a proven cruiser-racer born from the golden era of offshore racing and still a sturdy performer both on the virtual and real water. Can you master the course and reach Lerwick in time for the flames?

SAILING NOTE: Gruney may be approached from any direction but must be passed for rounding purposes as indicated on the chart.
