    Hmm. Maybe not fog, but "Stealth mode" would be really great. That would be that you could "dissapear" from anyone more than, say, 15 nm away from you. So that you could try to lose those "shadows" that sometimes appear. This time it's not a prolem for me...

    Actually, I would think the day/night feature should absolutely follow the boat position sun azimuth, not the computer clock!

    Hi, I think the Night Zone is just great, and adds to the fun factor of the game.

    But you could easily have it as an option (that I would choose to have on :-).

    Case SWE54 just makes my point clearer: he can now after St.Malo post 1-1-1-2-2, and I can just call with 1-1-1-3-3. However, in rankings, with my activity points he can not even come close.
    As much as I hate to lose, it is almost as painful to be at the top merely thanks to quantitative merits ;-).

    Thanks Jakob, I knew you would understand my delicate situation. And appreciate my needs to rest once in a while... ;-).

    Please, I want a limit on the "participation bonus points", like 1000 points (20 races).

    I like the rankings now (obviously ;-), but as we are very even on the top, one missed race would mean giving up several placings...

    Also, it is a bit funny, that in a race with less participants, the points difference between subsequent placings increases. For instance, if a pair mixes 1-2 finishes in two races, that who wins the race with _less_ participants gains an advantage in points.

    Have to comment myself: it seems the weather is OK now.

    Missing weather
    Board » General Discussion
    It seems we are again missing weather infos, now two schedules 080327 UTC0500 and UTC1700.

    This is not an complaint;-) I have plenty of old weather data to choose from, but the accurate weather is just an essential part of this game, me thinks. What I absolutely do not like is the possible "surprise" of an unscheduled weather update.

    I mean, I'm not going to stay up all night fo just in case, I'm gonna sleep ;-)

    Heh, maybe this should be put into perspective... you are not actually steering the boat or anything, rather "piloting".
    I would be perfectly happy to give my possible "unfair update rate frequency advantage" to you dagge, and then we would see what happens. In fact, a slower response would perhaps have saved some unpleasant plus/minus error jibes & tacks, and miles lost...
    ;-)

    Hey Dagge, that is just how the program works!
    I mean, this is not 100% real-time, online, but more a strategy game.
    The boats are updated normally about every 15 sec. Such a delay in a 5-day game is certainly not unfair?

Quiberon Islands 2026


The Quiberon peninsula extends as a submerged granite ridge a further 15nm or so beyond the La Teignouse lighthouse on the rocks off its southern tip, surfacing as two small islands, Houat and Hoedic, the duck and duckling in Breton, 5nm and 10nm beyond the light. Treacherous, tidal waters, but on SOL that daunts us not. Of course, we've raced here before, mostly Timed Runs out of Quiberon around Belle Ile, just south of the islets, and back, but this time it's a sprint from Belle Ile's capital of Port Marie round the foul fowl and back. A triangular course of 22nm, appropriately enough for Moody S38.

Roma per Tutti 2026


Sailonline are honoured and delighted to have been asked to partner an online first Roma per Tutti yacht race with organizing yacht club, Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . In real life, this will be the 33rd edition of this 540nm offshore race from Rome’s Riva di Traiano to the Aeolian Islands and back. Online, the race will not only be our first partnership with CN Riva di Traiano, but also the second race of our Magical Mediterranean series. A number of Mini 6.50s have been entered for the 33rd edition of the Roma per Tutti; so our own vintage Mini is also our virtual yacht of choice for this one.

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.
