    Q´s
    1. Which version of Chrome for Linux do you use?

    System problem - Linux Mint 13 Maya
    Recently our son built a Linux computer to my wife Kerstin (TheAlice), so we could sail on two PC´s instead of one.

    First try
    When we entered the PR for Winnebago yesterday evening her cursor went nuts. It was all over the screen, even if we only touched the mouse.

    Actions
    Today I swapped the mouse and changed the mouse settings in the Control panel, but it made very little improvment.

    Any solutions from the SOL Gods?

    195x - Brand new cut invented by Peter Pfab
    Board » General Discussion

    Watch the poor main sail...
    but the jib is full, so she´s fast!


    New sunfeather jib looks OK and so
    does the old sail ship in the
    background.



    The "Sun feather jib", invented by our
    Dad and his sail taylor Peter Pfab.
    It almost got forbidden when Dad came
    to the race, a lot of sailors was
    very upset.


    Finally both sails work toghether and
    Dad is enjoying the test! :)

    Pls. note that the boat is tied to the island for hours... while the new main sail got the correct racing shape.

    Conditions:
    Correct TWS
    Correct TWD
    Proper sheeting of the sail

    Such tragedy down under.
    It can´t be true...

    You fantastic friend, you improve the letters and figures in the SOL displays and Polar so I could continue to race with my poor eyes.
    Many, many thank´s Aaron.

    I find no more words Aaron, I will miss you so much. But I have sent you a last e-mail which I hope your family will read.

    In very, very deep sorrow

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!

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!
