2012-12-09 22:49:42 - Problem loading SOL
I'm not able to load SOL on one of my computers. Running on IE8. I've checked that the latest version of flash is installed. SOL opens but does not load wx or boats. Hangs at downloading wx.

Any ideas?

This has come up before although I can't off the top of my head give you the threads here that apply but there are several.

The client not initializing or Wx not finishing after a reasonable time can be a symptom of a "Limbo" state caused by either not maintaining a singular IP address recognized by the server or having some other details compromised held by cookies or Log in session status.

Not usually Flash related.

General steps which are easy to do and can be a quick remedy include:

1. Log out from the front page of SOL
2. Clear browser cache
3. Remove all SOL cookies on that browser
4. Disconnect from internet
5. Reboot computer
6. Start a new internet connection

Now start over by Logging in to your SOL account and report progress

The IP address issue can also be a result of how your ISP handles their IP address allocations or the path between you & SOL such as proxies and the like.

Cleared browser history and saved flash info. Same problem. Having same trouble with beta and older version. I noticed that IE8 has different flash settings compared to other browsers, maybe older version required?

Anyone else having trouble with IE8 and SOL?

I assume you mean the Simonstown to St Helena race? I believe that you were 5th before the real race started at 2012-12-22 09:00 (UTC). All races are in practice mode couple of days before the start where you can sail around the course and otherwise learn the boat polar.

1 hour before the race start the boats will be returned to the starting point so that all boats start at the same time. If you are not online at the start time, you can start your boat by setting a delayed command within this 1 hour starting period and the sailing engine will start automatically sailing your boat.

Kz, not loaded w8 yet. The problem disappeared after a few days, not sure why. Maybe a general windows update cleared the problem. One of those weird issues.

Shetland Race 2026 - Leg 2


After the thrill of the first leg, we don't linger long in Lerwick, Shetland. Following brief but joyous celebrations, it's time to set sail back across the North Sea to Bergen, Norway, for the gripping second leg of the Shetland Race 2026!

Covering another unpredictable 190 nautical miles, tactical depth and fierce competition await. This year, we take the helm of the Linjett 33. Designed by Mats Gustavsson in 1994 for Sweden's historic Rosättra Båtvarv, this sturdy, quality cruiser-racer has been a Sailonline favourite in northern waters since 2010. Whether you are chasing victory or savoring the voyage, hoist your sails and let the journey home begin!

Brisbane to Keppel Tropical Yacht Race 2026


When the winter weather turns cool in southern Australia, sailors head up to the warmer tropics. Sailors from all over the world make their way to The Great Barrier Reef for the big winter regattas at Hamilton Island, Airlie Beach and Magnetic Island.
This year's B2K will start on 20 June to offer an event suited to a broader range of boats. Sailonline is, once again, joining with the racers from RQYS to race the 343 nautical miles from Brisbane to Keppel Island, this time in our First 44.7. It might be winter down under, but all you will need is shorts and t-shirts.

Newport Bermuda Race 2026


The 636-mile Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet and the Sydney Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. First raced in 1906, now in its 54th biennial, the Race can again also be participated in online. In real life, the race is open to entry in four different division – Double-Handed, St. David's Lighthouse, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, and Finisterre Division – which in the past we have also offered online. This year, however, our online race will be all-in one-design in silky swift Club Swan 50 yachts, so that your results can count towards SOL’s SUPerBUDdy title, whilst hopefully still giving you a chance of overall line honours against the fastest yachts of the real-life Gibbs Hill Division, especially if you can find some forecast winds that don’t quite work out that way on the real water!
