    Hi all

    Been away from SoL and qtvlm for a while, and have forgotten the little that I knew before.

    I am trying to figure out how to run a routing that takes the Gulfstream into account. I know it can be done, but age is beginning to tell :-)

    I just filled in the cells per other polars which I know work, not converted from a txt file or any other format. What do I need to do with the csv file to make it work?

    I'm having issues converting an excel file into csv format. I follow the instructions, yet QTVLM won't accept it. Can anyone help me and show we where I went wrong?

    Coming back to Expedition (and SoL, to be fair) and after a few years away, and I cannot figure out how to connect Brainaid's NMEA to Expedition. I have no issues with QTVLM. Can someone put me out of my misery please?

    It says Baggus, you're not the Messiah, you're a very naughty boy. The missing link, many thanks. I can now go back to figuring how my babies work.

    Tried everything, nothing works. Perhaps it doesn't work with v 5.4-3

    Thank you Sir. I thought I'd done that (I was following the conversation you had with the French chap on the qtvlm site).

    Is the IP 127.0.0.1 taken from the Brainaid NMEA ip address for your computer, or is it the same for everyone?

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
