    Well, ok.

    Convinced now. Indeed the angle of boats "hanging" at the start line is a bit odd and they all point into the wind. Never noticed this slight detail.

    Thanks for giving me this information :-)

    Hmm. Would sound reasonable, if ....

    there wouldn't be a lot of other boats already "hanging" at the finish line.

    I'm not convinced.

    Finish not accounted
    Board » Technical Support
    I have seen this complaint several times here and now it happened to me too.

    Just tried to finish the (pre-race) Chicago-Mackinac race and it happened to me with the St. Malo race, too, that the finish line just let's me pass.

    I made sure in both cases that all marks I saw have been rounded (the fact they change their text now definitely is a great help, thanks). Nevertheless I couldn't finish.

    1. What reasons could there be beyond missing a mark?
    2. How to find out what reason applies?

    Best regards

    Hi everybody

    I'm not sure if some people think that this is part of the fun but for me it's an annoyance:
    When I have to steer automatically (i.e. when I'm off due to sleep or other things) the only options I have are to set CC or TWA. Misguessing the wind speed just by a small bit can make you miss the target by a few nm. When aiming at a small target like a finish line that is a lot and you can't play that safe.
    The feature I'd like to see is to have a point on a map that controls the new course. Ths should work as follows:
    The moment the the command is executed (remember delayed execution here) a new CC is calculated as the direct line between the current position and the new target point. Once the CC is calculated things go on as now when you give a CC.

    As the target point doesn't play another role, the boat will show no actions when it sails over it but just sails further on a straight course.

    On the UI you could use the same tool (this compass rose like icon) to enter the target point. All data is already available as the coordinates are already shown when you move the cursor. All it needs to is to put them into another input field.

    Best regards

Tall Ships Races 2025 - Le Havre to Dunkirk


Welcome to the first of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . The course for this first race is between the French ports of Le Havre and Dunkirk; circa 125nm in Sailonline’s magnificent 90m Barque.
NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
