	Sorry guys, but I have no idea so far, except that for some reason Windows >= 7 and newer Java are not supported... I will poke around the problem, but as I do not use Windows at all this will happen in the background at low priority unless I get help by someone with Java programming and Windows >= 7 experience. Sorry for the inconvenience. _/)_/)_/) The sea is lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to sail before I sleep, And miles to sail before I sleep.

	Eddie - thanks for the update. We can all have a snoop around, this can't be the first Win7/Java new release issue so hopefully we will be able to find something on the internet.

	ok...def a java 7.07 issue..i installed a vista VM machine, same problem. Thats good to know, so it is not the win version that is making the trouble.

	I have tried to force using Java 6 by changing the launcher file. Could you please try what happens now? - Thanks a lot! On Linux, I see no problems with Java 7.07, this makes it difficult for me to debug this issue... _/)_/)_/) The sea is lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to sail before I sleep, And miles to sail before I sleep.

	Hi Eddie. Just tried using my Vista machne and Java 7 and after d/l the NMEA file, when I click on it I get an error message of: Java(TM) Web Start Launcher has stopped working on my WIN7 machine I uninstalled Java 7 with a view to installing Java 6... but I can easily reinstall 7 and test the proxy. It will be a little later on today though.

	There is a problem in the javaws.exe distributed with Java 7. I found a detailed description here. The problem is with the URL inside the .jnlp file, this contains something like "?boat=12345&race=123" which is needed to pass these values to the NMEAproxy. But this part of the URL makes the javaws.exe program crash. The link above explains this in detail and the recommendation is to install Java 6 update 35 or higher, as there are many exploits (things that make your computer very vulnerable) inside Java 7 anyway... I have added a link to the Java 6 download page to sailonline/toolbox. I hope this helps, Eddie --- Last Edited by Eddie C.

	Hiya - ah, just read your update(s). I've been out and just re-d/l Java 7 to see if the fix worked but.. I see it has been superseded. I will uninstall and go for 6.35 and see if that's OK (6 didn't work on Vists this morning but maybe I did something wrong). Thanks Eddie! and DH and Equinox!! ________________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2012-09-13 17:45:20 ---

Jakob's Birthday BBQ Race 2024

Sailonline had two founders and Jakob, the more senior of the two, has his birthday in April which we always like to celebrate with a race through the Stockholm Archipelago from Revengegrundet Lighthouse to his mooring at Baggensfjärden. Traditionally also, like other celebrations this time of year, this feast has been “moveable”, so on this occasion we will be racing on a Wednesday in one of our latest high-performance 40-footers, the Carkeek 40. Please join us then for this always tricky 30nm race. Grattis på födelsedagen Jakob!

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
