    I can see that exact URL as you say in chrome://net-internals. I'm pasting it into AdBlock/Options/Customize/Manually Edit Your Filters but it won't block the weather. The only block I can get is with www.sailonline.org/* which of course blocks everything.
    I'm home now (and on Linux). I try again on Monday at work.
    Thanks for your help Outlaw.

    Good suggestion Outlaw.

    It didn't matter what I blocked; http://www.sailonline.org/*/xml/*
    http://www.sailonline.org/*/weather/*
    http://www.sailonline.org/site_media/*
    non made any difference but of course http://www.sailonline.org/*
    killed it completely confirming that the block was in fact working.
    I'm guessing the weather request coming from flash may actually bypass Ad Block - is it even an http request? Or it may be that its waiting for more than just weather.

    Thanks for your help

    I'm behind a corporate firewall and I'm not able to login. The client gets stuck waiting for weather. Its been suggested before that a load balancing proxy will do this but I checked with IT and we don't have one of those. Any other suggestions?, ports?, protocols?, etc that I *might* be able to persuade IT to change for me?

    Thanks

    I also confirm this bug. I'm using the beta, just set a course (no DCs) and went to bed. Next morning I was stalled with a twa of near zero.

    Cheers

    Bug: DC on predictor.
    Board » Technical Support
    Is this the right place for a bug report on the new client beta?

    The orange dot on the predictor line doesn't update when the DC is edited. The dot remains in its original position. If you exit and restart the client the dot no longer appears. I guess it's only placed when the original DC cmd is sent?

    Otherwise a truly excellent improvement to the client, thanks.

Lago Viedma Ice Race 2025


Less than one third of the land mass of the planet is to be found in the southern hemisphere, and most of that in tropical to temperate latitudes or in Antarctica, so it is difficult to find good natural ice to race DNs anywhere in August! However, if you take an internal flight from Buenos Aires to Aeropuerto Internacional Comandante Armando Tola de El Calafate by the shores of Lago Argentino, it’s only a 100km taxi ride to Lago Viedma, where we have set out a few beacons on the ice for you for a quick 80nm blast around the four corners of the lake, and as it’s so remote here, no need to worry about breaking the solitude of monks or suffering PL!

Marstrand to Cowes 2025


We invite you to another race, which will kick off the third quarter of our ARCH series. We'll set off from Marstrand, Sweden, which, along with Skagen, Denmark, marks the line commonly recognised as the border separating the Baltic Sea from the North Sea. The 650nm route will take our Ripitide 50 across the North Sea and the English Channel to Cowes, England. Watch out for the fast ferries crossing the Channel from Calais to Dover 😊.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Baia de l'Oiseau to Carnarvon


How ever shall I return to report with clarity to my Great Sultan – asked Sinbad. It needs be told this island and all its fables shall be expunged from the annals of every thousand and one night. The wind howls – and sun be none (it’s Winter, Sin’bro, ed.) – and all days from the west, but let’s launch anyway and see if we can work our SOL Balloon north as the days pass aiming for Asthralaya, where The Mahabharata tells the ancients once tested mighty weapons, about a quarter and a million qasbah away (2500nm, ed.), perhaps one month.
