Release notes

V1.19 beta - April 18, 2025

If the sheet of a self tacking jib was pulled extreem tight, the jib would flip to the windward side

Sheave only blocks would turn towards the pull direction of the line

Lead car blocks weren't tilted in the pull direction of the sheet

When a block is attached to a line that can't be adjusted, the length of that line will remain fixed. Previously it would stretch when the line that was going through the sheave(s) was pulled.

When sailing offline, the Gennaker, Code 0, Genoa, J1, Mizzen staysail and top sails are dropped in strong wind above 15 m/s. The Gennaker, Code 0, Mizzen staysail are also dropped when sailing upwind at TWA less than 50 degrees

Magnetic declination of the autopilot was inversed

The side hulls will now generate more upwards force to make it easier to lift the mid hull out of the water when the boat heels

When a boat was not set to check the supplies status, but still ran out of water before it ran out of food, it would drop the sails, flip the status "Out of food or water" and was ejected from the event it was participating in.

Slide feature for an instrument value definition didn't work

Adjusted the computation of the airflow to prevent strong curved sails (like a gennaker) from being able to sail upwind

Boats had too much heel when sailing very close to the wind

Sail angle as displayed on screen label wasn't always updated correctly for sails with a boom

Changed the computation of the submerged hull volume and avg. level above water surface to exclude the windward hull of a trimaran. This will make trimarans behave more realistic under heel.

Sails will have a shadow effect on each other. This will make it less favorable to hoist all foresails when going downwind.

Sails that are close together will have a small boosting effect on each other when sailing upwind

Pulling one of the sheets when going downwind will flip the foresail to that side.

Tolerance for running a sail on the windward side has been increased and now depends on the type of sail and the curve depth

Weather helm was computed incorrect when sailing downwind

Port hull of a trimaran submerged under heel, while starboard hull did not

Sail trim in Sunbathing mode on port tack was different from starboard tack

The automatic sheet in Sunbathing mode became unstable in certain conditions

The speed to pull sheets and halyard now also depends on the size of the sail, because it took very long to pull the sheet of a very large sail.

Added air resistance to non-raised sails that lay on deck

Solved an issue where a foresail could not be pulled tighter due to an incorrect minimum angle

The minimum rudder pressure when a boat is drifting is reduced and made relative to the force of the wind.

A furler with a trim line would move with the length of the trim line

Due to an artificial sail efficiency value in Sunbathing and Take it Easy modes (auto trim), the boats could sail at very high speeds in a storm. This artificial boost has been removed.

Boats now use a different way to prevent capsizing: the force in the sail is reduced when heel exceeds 45 degrees. This prevents boats from sailing ultra fast in a storm.

When windward sheet is guided around the mast, it is no longer pulled too far backwards if the mast is further back

Level 1 polar data is automatically gathered when the conditions for collecting data are met (see User Guide)

Level 1 polar data can be reduced when data is collected, although this effect is 3 times less than when a higher speed is recorded.

Level 2 polar data is now gathered when explicitly switched on or when the boat is sailing in a race or challenge

Collecting level 2 polar data can also have a negative impact on the polar speed, although this effect is 5 times less than when a higher speed is recorded. The level 2 polar speed can never be less than the level 1 polar.

A text in the screen will show when the boat is collecting data for level 2 polar

Changed the speedat which rudders turn when using the hotkeys or using the scroll wheel. It now uses the duration as set in the boat designer.

Changed the speed at which rudders return to the center. They now use duration as set in the boat designer. When the boat speed is less than the Archimedean hull speed, the rudder will return slower and when it is more (boat is planing) the rudder will return faster.

Gennaker and Code 0 were not recognized as foresails, which resulted in switching the port and starboard barberhaulers

Made Code 0 slightly less deep by default to allow it to be used at smaller AWA. The actual depth can be set in the boat designer and by adjusting the sail wardrobe of your boat


Windex couldn't be positioned but had to be attached to another hardware item instead

Added simple plastic wind vane and long pennant for Dutch transitional boats to the hardware library

Flags can be scaled now

Added warning messages for unrealistic boat design tweaks

Changed the distribution of average tweak values over boats of the same class

Telltale edits weren't shown in the boat designer

Sail min. angle as set in the boat designer was not applied

Line paths for custom deck layouts weren't saved

Added a function to apply a custom deck layout to a boat design and make it the new default setup for all boats

Improved multihull detection in the boat designer

Overlay textures on movable boatparts can no longer use uv mapping by projection. Only the mesh uv is valid

Trampoline outside the hull is no longer incorporated in calculations in boat designer

Hardware and flags are excluded when taking measurements in the boat designer


Unsubscribing from an event with a team or club boat didn't work

Added the option to select multiple boat designs for a sail event


If a boat can't be loaded due to a configuration error, the loading screen will prompt there was an error after a time out period and then open the "My Boats" screen after 20 seconds to allow you to select another boat instead.

Hardware wasn't attached to specific boat parts anymore after copying a boat design

Check if local cached height map is still up to date was incorrect, resulting in unnecessary downloads

Reduced multiplayer messaging frequency when pulling a trim line

When 2 boats of the same design were close together and 1 boat was using a custom sail texture or color, the other boat would have the same texture/color in its sails

Custom telltale parameters weren't applied to the boat

When a navigation light was already on upon loading the boat, any texture on that same mesh was not loaded.

Failed web requests no longer block other web requests while they wait for a retry

Avatar sunk into the deck upon loading boat


Added a review system for boat designs, deck layouts, liveries and instruments

Newline characters were displayed in the text instead of interpreted

Increased mouse scrollwheel speed on Linux

Abandoned attempts (DNF) are no longer listed in the leaderboard of a challenge



V1.18 - March 14, 2025

When taking the measurements of a boat design, the rudder connection rods were added to the overall length

The position of the avatar on board was flipped in Z direction, meaning that the bow would slightly rise when the avatar moved forward

The black hole shader didn't implement fog

Nearby fog is reduced to improve visibility on board

Texture rotation and uv changes were not passed on to the shader unless the texture itself was also changed

Auto navigation was sometimes switched off upon loading a boat

Night sky was blurry due to large texture mip map streaming



V1.18 rc6 - March 13, 2025

In the old line system it was possible to attach both a line and another hardware item to a hardware slot. This was unintended. In the new line system this bug was no longer present, but some of the existing boat design hardware configurations still used this possibility. This resulted in detached hardware.

Reefed/non-raised sails used a UV map that didn't match the sail

The performance weight break down now shows boat part ids

When the sheet looses tension, the barber hauler block/ring drops to the deck

When the sheet is inactive because the sail is on the other side, the barber hauler ring/block is moved close to the point where it is pulled to.

Position of lead car with pin was not saved to the server

Area of gaff sail was computed wrong



V1.18 rc5 - March 12, 2025

An error occurred when loading the hull mesh was not completed before the navigation lights were switched back to their last recorded state. This caused a time out.

re-implemented the old-style deck collider, to make walking on deck possible on boats that have not been updated to v1.18

added an optional extra deck collider for walking

halyards remain visible when a sail is stored

The line was animated as if being pulled between a clutch and the winch



V1.18 rc4 - March 11, 2025

The position of a railcar with a pin could not be changed

Sail were raised the 1st time you placed them

The avatar always landed in the center of the boat

Reduced the tolerance for moving outside the deck area

Sheet only went around the mast on 1 side

Added the line name [sail] pull tack

Top sail sheet controls the length of the sail bottom again

Moving the clew up in the boat designer, resulted in a a bigger sail area, because the length of the bottom increased, but since the length of the luff also decreased this was incorrect

Changing length and pin radius in the boat designer didn't have any effect on a wrapped line

When you copied a material in the boat designer, it got the same name as the original, which was confusing

The X-close button of cards on the My Boats screen overlapped with the scrollbar

Improved the rotation of blocks in the direction of the line that goes through

Unused blocks will lie on the deck instead of standing upright

Custom navigation lights only responded upon startup but not when switched on/off later

The base size of a rudder connector was not set after you imported a mesh in the boat designer. As a result the rod did not scale properly in the bot designer.

Added access to the financial transactions window to the Info menu



V1.18 rc3 - March 8, 2025

Changed naming of foresails nr1, nr2, nr3, nr4 to J1, J2, J3, J4

Invisible line point always let the lines collide with the deck, even if this was switched off

Winches placed behind a cleat or clutch were not used when the line was being pulled

Trim lines got length 0 when a 2nd sailor came on board

Overlay textures in sails didn't show

The slots of the guiding rings are now named Hole and Ring, to make the difference more clear

A barberhauler only worked if you used a guiding ring, blocks will do the trick as well now

A new hardware item that had been added since Sailaway was started could not be selected by clicking anymore

Line tangled mess always collided with the deck, this is now optional



V1.18 rc2 - March 7, 2025

Attaching a hardware to slot 1 or 2 of a plain rail car didn't work

The wrong side of running backstays was shown in the Q/E menu

In order to set a reef the boat had to be turned into the wind. This is now changed to a wind angle where you can take the pressure from the sail while still being able to reach for the clew at the end of the boom

Transaction history didn't work since 1.17

Tweak value for y position of ballast only had an effect on the moment of inertia, but not on the actual counterweight for heel.

Tweak values for Foil drag and Wind drag had no effect



V1.18 rc1 - March 6, 2025

Ordering on the boat design marketplace now also depends on the price. If a boat is sold for less than the suggested price, the ranking will be pushed back accordingly.

Added instrument values for hour, minute and seconds in UTC time and boat local time

Deck surfaces that have been made obsolete change color in the boat designer

Added a toggle switch in the boat designer to prevent a section of a line from hanging through

Steel material for lines used wrong shader

Changed the computation of the side-distance of the lateral point for foil force, because side foils countered heel too strongly

Boat Designer Tweak values for: "Foil lift", "Overall stability", "Hull speed barrier", "Dive fwd/lean back" had only limited effect or no effect at all.

Added an extra tweak value for adjusting the counter heel force of side foils

When the last recorded length of the halyard was was taken while the sail was raised, and the sail was removed by the offline sailing routine, it would be raised instantly when it was placed.

With 2 or more persons on board, adjusting a line or foil was constantly returned to a previous value because of the round trip: user adjusts to new value -> new value send to other users -> helmsman receives new value -> helmsman sends all values to everyone -> adjusting user receives all values -> currently being changed value is overwritten by an outdated value that originated from himself

Line highlighting didn't work in earlier builds of 1.17

Boats with a center T-foil failed to float due to an internal error

Added a menu option to donate bubbles

Fixed a sign error in computing the pressure in the sail with a tight sheet downwind

Increased boat heel in very strong wind

Increased the effect of waterballast

Weight of provisions had no effect on moment of inertia

Reordered options in boat popup

Logbook is now also accessible from the boat popup menu

Foresail sheets stay in front of the mast

The angle of the foresail was incorrect directly after loading

Wait time for loading the sea has been sped up

When attaching hardware items to a boat part, it was only possible to select the first boat part of any type

The traveller and leadcar positions where not adjusted in Sunbathing mode

The selection panel for boat types was positioned under the Edit Event screen

The marketplace for instruments only showed 17 instruments

Avatar was able to move outside the deck area, resulting in camera errors

Incorrectly configured trim lines were flooding the log with error messages

The game would also check if sail event course marks were passed when the mark did not belong to the sail event that the current boat was participating in. (Previously loaded sail event courses)

100% fog has been reduced to a more realistic limited visibility. The sail corners did not apply fog in the newer Unity version anymore and remained fully visible regardless of the distance to the camera

Value for accumulated precipitation that was pulled from the server was incorrect

The instruments on the screen and on the boat would sometimes become empty

When creating a new route by clicking in the map popup menu, the boat stalled and you needed to restart

Manually adding waypoints to a route would sometimes mess up the order of the waypoints

The Add button in the select Trim line panel in the boat designer didn't work

When setting up a barberhauler system, the ring will stay in place or falls on the deck while it doesn't yet have a line that goes through it.

The offline sailing routine used a wrong path to read the height map files. This resulted in water that was always deep enough, even if the boat was at the coordinate of the Mount Everest. When coming online, the boat was suddenly in the middle of dry land

New boats have "Stop sailing when out of provisions" switched off by default

Boats stopped sailing below 3 knots when offline



V1.17 - February 22, 2025

All trim lines are now handled by a new system

Created a new deck collider. All existing boat designs need to be upgraded. Go to the "Boat Designer, LOD" and click on "Trace deck" to generate the collider. Also check if any existing colliders can be removed from your boat designs

For each trim line section you can specify whether it should collide with the deck. You can do this in the "Boat designer, Lines and Hardware" after you've selected a trim line

You can select the name of a line from a listbox, or overrule it if you want. Overruled line names will not be translated

Tension ratio of a line is now shown in the boat designer

Clutches didn't open when operated

It was not possible to specify a knot or terminal for an invisible line point

Removed "Rounded edge collider" from the hardware library

You can apply a name to a sub mesh in the boat designer materials screen for easy reference

Projection method of main texture was changed to "Project from starboard" as soon as the submesh was selected in the Materials section of the Boat Designer.

In order to reef the sail, you need to turn the boat into the wind now

You can already set a reef in the mainsail when it is placed, but not raised yet

There is a new calculation for the CurveFwd value and for the tension on the luff based on the halyard, cunningham and backstays. A mainsail without a cunningham can have 100% luff tension but only 90% curve fwd. A mainsail with cunningham can no longer ease the luff tension with the cunningham to a value below the already set halyard tension

Querying the magnetic declination on the server returned the wrong results

It is no longer possible to show the AR labels on the screen with the K-key when in non-GPS mode

TWD in sky popup menu showed the angle in -180 - 180 degrees instead of 0-360 deg

Audio signals of seamarks in fog were too loud. They now have a logarithmic roll-off

Added a ruler to the binoculars with a mark for each degree

Reduced the Chromatic Aberration effect on clear night skies to give the brightness of the stars on the edges of the screen roughly the same visibility as in the center of the screen

When an instrument was deleted from the dashboard the on board display associated with it wasn't cleared

Added checkboxes to manually overrule the application of the post processing effects: Motion blur, Film grain and Vignette. They are switched on by default

When creating a new route by clicking in the map popup menu, the boat stalled and you needed to restart

Manually adding waypoints to a route would sometimes mess up the order of the waypoints



V1.14 - November 29, 2024

Fixed a display error in the boat polar diagram

Added a warning in the sail offline panel when the auto navigation is set to AWA

Added a warning in the auto navigation window not to use AWA for faster boats as it may cause the boat to steer very heavily

When the auto navigation was changed to, the angle not correctly changed according to the new setting, causing the boat to change course

Fixed font size of instruments on larger displays

Publishing a tutorial didn't work

Changing the order of tutorial steps would delete the step instead

The edit buttons in the My Boats screen are now disabled for boats that have joined a sail event

The Teleport to Start line button is disabled when the boat has started

Added arrows to adjust the angle of the left half of the sextant

Added a measure tool in the map

The frame rate was not reduced when the application looses focus while the video setting for it was switched on

When a chat message is received the sound is only played when the channel is different than the previous channel, or the last sound was more than 30 seconds ago or the message is an announcement or the message is private

The volume of the chat message can be adjusted separately

Added upscaling slider to the video settings. Use this to boost rendering performance if needed

Changed the text on the Sailor details window

Applied a max number of geographic names that will be rendered on the map

Added a limitation to the nr of control labels on screen. If there are multiple people on board and everyone is adjusting a trim line, the screen would be filled with these labels.

Added a second set of adjustment controls on the left side of the sextant. You can now either focus on the star/sun and adjust the left control to level the horizon. Or focus on the horizon and adjust the right controls to center the celestial body.



V1.13 - November 21, 2024

Prepared for use of new server setup

Added a halyard and furl control to the Q/E menu for sails with a furler

A non-raised mainsail would flip back and forth very fast in certain sail modes

Font size of instruments was scaled too big on larger screen resolutions

It was not possible to undo the purchase of an instrument and the refund button was covered by the scrollbar of the financial transactions window

The function to show a boat on the map for event organizers did not work

Weather is downloaded for boat coordinates instead of camera coordinates

If downloading the data for a mesh fails, an empty mesh will be used instead to prevent that loading the rest of the boat will fail as well

It was very hard to keep a trimaran in irons in order to raise the mainsail

Fixed an error in ordering the display of instruments on board

After editing your own boat in the boat designer and returning to the boat, the sails were no longer displayed

Instruments were not immediately available on the dashboard after buying them

Reduced the increase of water drag when the boat heels over for relatively narrow boats (like the J-Class)



V1.12 - November 9, 2024

Added several words/sentences to the translations list

Edit mean waterlevel gave an HTTP error

Applying a texture to a boat part that had no materials set in the boat design (like a flag added to your boat) was not persistent

If the user session on the backend server gets broken for whatever reason, a new session is automatically created. This will prevent repeated "Error saving boat status" messages.

When changing boats, the old boat would remain visible for a few seconds

When copying an existing sail event, the old course would remain visible on the map

Teleport location to start line is now a random position in a rectangular area just before the line



V1.10 - November 1, 2024

The size of the chat section is reduced a bit

The force that keeps the rudder in the water of a foiling boat was also applied when the rudder was up

The angle of the foresail was too loose when sailing in Sunbathing mode

Reduced size of lens droplets on bigger screens

Sheet angles adopts faster to course changes in sunbathing mode

Made steering possible while the drone is active

The process of updating polar diagrams has been rewritten. Have a look at the User guide chapter Boat speed, Offline: Polar diagrams. Beware that no polar diagrams are updated in v1.08 and prior due to this change

When nr of people on board was changed in the Provision window, the total weight was computed incorrectly

The auto navigation didn't work correctly when the GPS was switched off

Boats with the GPS switched off are not visible on the map anymore to prevent cheating

Increased timeout for loading boats from 2 minutes to 3 minutes for very complex boats, densely populated areas with lots of buildings and edits and/or poor internet connections

The flashing navigation light alternates every 3 seconds on and off now

Improved visibility of seamark lights and boat navigation lights

Alt key settings would overwrite the dft. key settings when switching between keyboard types resulting in keys that didn't work anymore like the Z key on a QUERTZ keyboard to show the airflow

When making a high resolution screenshot with the UI switched on, the save path of the screenshot was visible on the picture as well

The red arrow to show the sideways force in the sail was too long to be useful

Resolved a frame duration spike that occurred every 73rd frame when map would measure the depths

Rain value as read from grib files is in accumulated mm per 6 hours, but was treated as a 0-1 value

Changed sail materials on your boat were not loaded if the boat design didn't already contain sail material settings

The database table that holds the best practice per boat design for which sails are raised and reefed is only updated when a boat's speed is more than 90% of the boat design polar value. The combination that has the best results is used for offline sailing

Sails are only changed during offline sailing when:
   the TWA changes more than 20 degrees
   or the TWS changes more than 25%
   and there is a best practice for sails raised/reefed present for the current TWA/TWS combination.
In all other situations the last used sails will remain as they were even if the boat encounters a hurricane.

New routine for downloading and placing OSM buildings

Fixed semi transparent loading screen while switching boats

Loading screen now waits for water depth map to be loaded

V1.05 - September 28, 2024

The formula for computing the instrument values TWDa and AWDa (average Wind Dir) was wrong for directions around 0 degrees

When a sail was partially raised, the force produced by that portion of the sail was multiplied by the area of the entire sail. This caused weird behavior when you started pulling up a sail

Window "Team roles" showed the roles for clubs (Commodore instead of Manager, etc)

The Commodore of a club and the Manager of a Team is able to buy items for that Club or Team

Bubble transactions that resulted in an error did not display the actual error

TWD displayed the magnetic wind direction in stead of the actual true wind direction

When the installed version of the software is outdated, the login screen now has a clickable text to go to the download page

Added an input field for the Windows drive letter in the window "Select file"

Race course buoys remain visible in the map when zooming out

When a boat is loaded, a logbook shows what has happened while you were offline

Shaders are preloaded during login phase to get rid of objects rendering in pink because the shader was not compiled

Boat designs, liveries, deck layouts and instruments that were bought could not be deleted

Added redundant messages to improve reliability of multiplayer server protocol

The edit button on the sail event details window was unreachable once the event had started
