    Re: Is there a test server?
    Board » Technical Support
    bc, Try this.... on the home page it has a countdown to the start of the next race.
    For example if it says 6 hours to go, set your DC to start the race in 5.5 hours,
    So set it for 30 mins before what ever it says.

    OR, When setting DC use the clock on the instrument panel.
    You don't have to convert any time then.
    Remember if the race starts at 10.00 utc you don't try and convert it so your DC goes off at 10.00 your time.

    If you go inside a mark, you have to go back the way you came and round the mark in the correct direction.In your case you would have had to jump the spit again in order to round the mark.

    Sorry I get you now...What your saying is that the start time and last registration time should be in the NOR. And not be changed if favourable winds are coming later in the week!!!
    Yes i would definilty agree with that!!

    I always thought that timed races didn't have any practice sailing. When the race opens its game on. ( I might be wrong though)
    I do agree though that no changes should be made to start times, and also the time the server is to close should be stated before start time and definitly not changed!!!!!!!!

    Leg 1 Would have closed to make room on the server for other races. Your ranking will be what it was when the race closed.

    Is there any reason why the tall ships race can't start on Saturday morning to at least have a chance of finishing it in the weekend?

    Just looking at the St Nazaire race. The L'Iles-d'Yeu mark could be moved to the south east of the island and the lle d'houat mark to the north west. They look very inviting to do the old touch and go roundings! Or has that been fixed now?

Current Races:

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.

Red Eye - Hobart Convict Run 2026

Back in 2010, one of our SOLers of the first hour, AUS_Scott76, came up with this ‘Convict Run’ out from Hobart, past Cape Raoul and the penal colony of Port Arthur, round Tasman Island, up and back down the east coast of Tasmania, to finish with a tight technical run – so Scott called it – up the picturesque D'entrecasteaux Channel, home to Hobart once again. It’s 250nm, ideal for a bit of ‘Red Eye’ in comfortable Finngulf 43’s, and if the original idea was to pick up some convicts on the way for a bit of R&R and sea air, you may always drop’m back before returning to Hobart!

New Ice Age 2026 - Longyearbyen to Browerville


Although we have by no means exhausted the possibilities of ice boating on lakes at high latitudes or high altitudes, it was noticeable that as our 2025 Series progressed, there were calls from time to time for longer-distance challenges, and so in response to these calls we will pretend that global warming has reversed and as a result the coastal waters of Antarctica and Russia and Canada have fully (and smoothly!) frozen over offering us the possibility of a 4-race New Ice Age series in our trusted no-PL DN machines. Our first leg takes us 2600nm from Svalbard’s Longyearbyen east to North Alaska’s Browerville. You’ll be a few days on the ice, so dress warmly and take some provisions; go!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Robinson Crusoe to Galapagos


Welcome to our first race of a new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, this first race taking you north from south of the Tropic of Capricorn to the Equator-straddling Galapagos, home of magical iguanas and other exotic fauna (but no mythical kings, Dory) Departing from the island where in 1704 adventurer Alexander Selkirk inspired Daniel Defoe to write the best-seller "The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe", by debarking off the unsound "HMS Cinque Ports", four months before she foundered off the coast of present-day Colombia, we will sail the 2200nm in our decidedly sounder and faster than the " Cinque Ports",
