Prize Sponsor for RYA Volvo Dinghy Show SailX Championships |
|
Bollé, Official Supplier of performance sunglasses to Skandia Team GBR in their bid for medals in 2012.
An industry leader in eyewear, Bollé adopts latest optical technologies to optimise performance afloat. Embedded polarization and anti-reflective coating eliminates distracting glare to help the sailors ‘see the breeze’ on the water. A hydrophobic coating on the lenses repels water, increasing clarity of vision through the spray.
Technically superior and at the top of the optical field, Bollé recognise the importance of technology in sport, and are delighted to be supporting the RYA Volvo Dinghy Show SailX Championships 2012 as the 600+ online sailors battle it out for overall victory.
Andrew Grose, Managing Director of Bollé, comments: “With the large amount of time the Skandia Team GBR sailors spend on and around the water, it is essential both for their performance and their eye protection that they have the very best in eyewear available to them. In the same way, SailX offers the most sophisticated game for developing the mental skills involved in sailboat racing that we have ever seen. And it’s great fun. Whether you are aiming for the Olympics or racing at your local club, SailX will enhance your performance afloat – just like wearing Bollé sunglasses!”

The new replayer is ready.
It is as smooth as the standard Java2D one (used today for racelets, protests and race replays). And it is lighter and requires less resources.
It can be used from any HTML5-compliant browser from any platform. Yes, it works on smartphones, tablets and such. No problems for the newest versions of Firefox, Safari and Chrome but it requires Internet Explorer 9.
We will migrate replay features to use by default this replayer and offer a fall-back option for the old one.
Some examples you can try clicking directly:

Welcome to SailX
SailX is a free sailing environment where users race regattas virtually.
This environment was created several years ago by sailors for sailors. Mainly intended as a training tool for sailing rules and regatta tactics it soon developed into a full on-line environment and a game.
Sailing is free but if you register you will be able to name your boat, access more fields and use the protest system.
You can also buy a subscription, that will get you a ranking world-wide and access to exclusive events and more racing modes.
To know more about SailX you can browse our Wiki  (take also a look to the options sliding down under the Info menu on top).
Although starting immediately to sail with us is possible we recommend you to spend a couple of minutes learning the basic keystrokes, this flash tutorial will help you  .
We are a very active community, our Forum is the main commincation tool. Dont be shy and ask there whatever you want to know about our environment.
We honestly welcome you. We're happy to have new members. We ask only one thing from you: to act in SailX as you would do in the real water.
Enjoy!
