    If you hit ground and know about (ie SMS warning) you can use the mobile client to turn. Way better than trying to send an SMS with new course :)

    I'm not an official of Sailport but just a quick note. To send an SMS in the volumes we're talking here would cost around 1 SEK (0.10 Euro cent) per SMS. I'm pretty sure the banners won't cover that.

    For an extra charge though... :)

    This has now been tested for 2 race starts and actually has more than one user :)

    I would say it works.

    The nature of RSS says that the items/posts shouldn't change but race notifications changes as the race is first announced, then opened, but that also works and all races is made aware of...

    I recommend this for this RSS-hungry sailors out there :)

    yes, and besides it calculates with the coordinates I've taken from the map which could be somewhat wrong.

    This could perhaps be fixed but not right now :)

    I also know that it has some weird things once ppl start to finish but that will be fixed.

    Thanks, nice catch! :)

    I have found the bug and skipper85 is now correctly calculated as 700-something :)

    Thanks again.

    Right, minor glitch :)

    It has been fixed and now reports ranking 132 (135 official) and a couple of nm less than the official DTG.

    Hi!

    You all know how that the DTG (and therefor also to current ranking) doesn't work perfect when rounding marks if you're not really close to the mark. Infact, in several races the leader finds himself to be ranked several hundred places down just when passing a mark.

    In an attempt to make that better I've made a new ranking page for the third leg of SOR and it can be found at http://sailor.raven.nu/112.html

    It's brand new so it might have bugs but I think it works. The distances are slighty different that the official once but not by much.

    It's currently generated every 15 minutes.

    Let me know if anything weird shows up.

    As long as comhem works it works :)

    As long as I'm told about any problems I should be able to get it up and running quickly :)

    Still experimental though, I haven't even tested it with a newly announced race.

    An opt-in email list that just get short announcements when the races go visible.

    Another option is a RSS feed with the races, would that work?
    Either would be fine. If you have the time to build it than it's perfect. Otherwise I just stared to build that kind of rss, probably finished during this week :)

    (also another really cool new page for SOL is ongoing :))

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!

Regata dell’Accademia Navale 2026

Welcome to Sailonline’s partnership with the City of Livorno (Leghorn say the English) in cooperation with the local yacht clubs and the Italian Navy, offering all the online opportunity to race the famous Regata dell’Accademia Navale - 630nm in length. Starting and finishing in Livorno, this year the race takes you the length and breadth of the Tyrrhenian Sea via little Mortorio (Mortoriotto) off Sardinia to Capri and home again to Livorno. This race also counts towards Sailonline’s Magical Mediterranean Series and the SuperBuddy title. Online, you will be sailing a Mini 6.50, to give you a match against several of the real-life entrants, which you will be able to track on-screen!

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!

Falklands to Tasmania 2026

Welcome to yet another all-new route. This next race is part of our Ocean Championship as well as the ROW series. Falklands to Tasmania, is like last year's island to island. It’s one of the longer ones 6400nm, more than half way around the world (and the Antarctica). It starts the 2026 OCQ2, and will be sailed in our Steinlager 2, contrary to prior notice.
