    Hi .Once again pen to paper.I hate computors,but do enjoy the game,but this Beta I have to admit is completely spoiling my(me)game.Firstly the actual course is so small to watch and use,it is only about a third or even less of screen area.The polar is half covered by the advert to join SYC,which makes it useless,and bigger than the course itself.I understand you have to have adverts etc for sponsorship etc,but to the detriment of the game,I dont understand.The coloured tracks are very pretty,but clutter up what you can only just about see,on the old system track came on when boat was selected.Its quite possible that its my system that is faulty,but since everything else works perfectly I have my doubts.Zoom you may say,ok but then you can only see the boats and notthe facilities for adjusting.
    If you can advise me on any way of improving things or what Im doing wrong here I would be mpost grateful!!
    Meanwhile happy sailing to the "contented"Beta users and sympathy to users who may have my problems if any!!
    Thank you

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!

Roma Giraglia Regata 2026

Our eighth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil – is another buddy-up; this one with the Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . Founded in 1984, as the new Traiano yacht Harbour neared completion, the Circola since then has developed into one of the major yachting competition centres in Italy, and next to the 450nm Roma per Tutti (which SOL buddied earlier in the year), the Roma Giraglia Regata is its other headline offshore event. First raced in 2005, the 210nm course takes competitors from Traiano to a rock on the inside of the Ile de la Giraglia off the northern tip of Corsica and back to the Italian mainland for a finish in the bay of Santo Stefano. We’re racing this one in our Class 40!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.
