or if you fancy a simulation using boats in real time, with current live weather whilst sailing against others.. try sailonline.org

Details are shown in the ybw Race Game forum and if you join with a username prefixed ybw_ then it will be easy to find the rest of us.

Don't worry - it's free and does not cause you to get spam email. I've not sailed in it since the Round the World race earlier this year but when UK summer is over I'll have another go...

Some fun races going on in sailonline.org at the moment.

That site asks for a username and password which suggests it's a scam.

Except that it's almost impossible to find any site on the interweb these days which is not like that. :ambivalence:

This site asks for a username and password. [/confused]

It's definitely not a scam. I've met the people behind it.

You'll see that the url uses the subdomain "demo". That "suggests" that Flaming pasted his bookmark, not the front end site.

I couldn't tell you it was 7 years ago...

Flaming posted the right link (7 years ago btw)...seems they were compromised and have had to take the site offline whilst they patch it.

From facebook

The site suffered a hack attack and we were forced to suspend activity in order to make sure we were safe.
Currently we are studing a way to fix the site security problem along with the issues about the simulator we all know and as you may know that's not cheap...
We know you love Sailx as much as we do and we're trying our best to find a possible solution.
Thanks a lot for your pacience.
