    You're Right :)

    & 'F' stands for Fumes
    Oh? I thought it meant something else! Like in "Oh f... - forgot to fill!"

    BTW, I have tried uploading an avatar, how long does it take to appear by my posts?

    Doesn't "E" mean "enough"?

    Thanks for your help. Perhaps I should have worded my Q differently: Is the distance to go shown by the game calculated along the great circle, or does it assume a flat ocean? I infer from your answer however that it must be the great circle distance. Thanks again.

    Great Circle Route
    Board » General Discussion
    Forgive me if this subject is covered elsewhere, but does the game take into account that the shortest route over longer distances is a Great Circle? Or do the game maps not account for this?

    Son's computer seems to have been hit with a trojan infostealer. Computer was frozen from yesterday afternoon to this morning. Have been busy trying to sort that one out all today. Just tried SOL again on my XP machine & BINGO, voila, eureka, whatever - it worked, weather downloaded, chart is up, going to check it out now.

    Hi Rainbow Chaser, I updated Java to v6 update 20 (build 1.6.0_20-b02) yesterday. I believe I now have latest everything. Hope to try connecting later on another Vista computer with cable connection to the router.

    Tried IE8 on the XP machine last night with same result.

    Captjack I am in Barbados. I am also using a wireless home network router. I tried your suggestion to disable, re-enable & reconnect but it has made no difference. I will try to connect on another Vista machine with cable connection to the router and let you know if it works. If it is worth anything, I have been playing on the VirtualRegatta.com site for the last year with no connection problems.

    Update: I have updated Java to v6 update 20 (build 1.6.0_20-b02). Shut down computer & restarted. Reloaded game and same thing: stuck at "Waiting for weather download...". Only thing left is to try other computer which my son is hogging. Will have to wait till he goes to bed.

    You need flash player 9 or higher. Other than that, if you are using internet explorer, try Firefox instead (or Chrome or Safari).
    Thanks for trying to help. See my first post: Windows XP Home 2002 SP3, Firefox 3.6.3, Adobe Flash 10,1,53,64; 1 Mb/s connection

    No corporate or other proxy. Java usually updates automatically. How can I check if it needs to be updated now?

Tall Ships 2026 - Aarhus to Harlingen


Welcome to the first of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . The course for this first race is from Aarhus in Denmark, through the Skaggerak and down the North Sea to Friesland’s Harlingen – a proper tall ship training adventure of circa 450nm, which online this year you will race in Sailonline’s classic Clipper 240.
NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

Viareggio Bastia Viareggio 2026

Our sixth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil - was planned to be our third buddy-up with another incredible Italian event, the Viareggio Bastia Viareggio (or BVR for short). Unfortunately, in-real-life the BVR has been cancelled this year. But online we shall race it never the less. It’s a quickie – a 160nm roundtrip there-and-back in classic Class 40. Have fun, and if you’re planning a BBQ, piccola isola Capraia halfway across is simply lovely!

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!
