    Hi SOL friends
    I did update my document for comparison of virtual sailing sites with the new knowledge on the SOL beta player. see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VgeYoRS3o2-pkfOuuAgRk8F3i7kDltXzE-sGjAZ9ONE/edit

    Sail on , fair winds and take care for fishing boats at the Portuguese coast :)

    hi Sol friends

    thanks for all information on the revised SOL player. I have missed this complete.

    Now I found the manual for the Beta and with a quick screening saw some very interesting improvements. I am now sailing onthe Lake and hope to apply the new features.
    I will adjust in a positive way my comparison report but this weekend is a little busy with Vendee start and the normal ongoing stuff.
    fair winds and I did rate SOL already 2nd in my ranking based on the older player. :)

    Hi RainbowChaser.

    I played SOL some year back, I made the comparison somewhere in June2012.
    I will make the changes you indicated, as the development of SOL has continued, maybe sail a race as then you learn the features the best.

    No SOL is not the only site where players can make their own races or cruises. It happens a lot in LiveSkipper; the LS challenges are continuous available and allow groups to start in their own time and decide their own route. I have also in VORG2012 participated in alternative routes, but that lastest only as long as a leg lasted. In VR, I understand that groups of players also organise their own races/ cruises. So it seems that there is a need for some own organisation of race/ or cruises by players.
    Thanks for your comments that can only improve my comparison and as volonteers, I am even more impressed by your virtual SOL player. ard.

    Good to see that SOL is sailing around the world in company of so many other virtual sailors :)

    Mr. Misterqu are you the misterqu sailing alongside me in LiveSkipper?

    Neuroman, I like to set up a discussion on your statement "SOL is always the best". I have done a comparison of 4 virtual sailing games, SOL among them and SOL has some positive points as other games have. My document is available in my blog http://paradise49.blogspot.com/ under TAB "virtual sailing"
    fair winds :)

    Hi sol friends
    I noticed that the VendeeGlobe will start soon, 10th November.
    I don't see anything like it in the SOL November calender.

    Does SOL has a plan for a similar sailing race around the globe?

Great Bear Ice Race 2025


You can fly to Great Bear Lake Airport, but if the ice is good, instead hire a pick-up truck, load your disassembled DN into the cargo bed and drive, first following the McKenzie River north, and then straight across the lake to the start of our final Ice Boat series race of roughly 100nm in length. The Airport authorities have agreed to leave all lights on, so you should just about be able to see where you are going as you zing and rumble, PL-free over the ice!

Chile Islands RTI Sprint 2025


Across the Canal Puyuhuapi from Puerto Cines on the Chilean mainland lies the Parque Nacional Isla Magdelena, and further west across the Canal Moraleda from Magdelena lie the islands of the Chonos Archipelago. Returning for the first time since 2017 we find ourselves in vari-charted waters here, with the mapping between physical islands and their names not 1:1 but rather some:some. It’s only 26nm but you could get lost! Good luck.

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
