Apart from being ridiculously too early, why doesn't the website function with Safari?

I thought those guys were IT geeks.

you need to install the 'D-Zero' plug-in .... not only will it then work on a macbook, but you'll actually get some competitors to sail against there too.

I get a flash an edit goes off the only way I can see the entry bit is to keep rapid clicking the mouse, I wanted to see how many Alto's were headed down there.

Having said that, there are better spots to spend a Bank Holiday Weekend than Calshot.

Safari works most of the time as my Mac default, however sometimes it doesn't like images posted on this forum for instance. 
FireFox is an easy install and seems to like the things Safari doesn't.  Confused

I find Safari works on my iPad for everything apart from SailRacer.

Well pants or no, I'm set up to use Safari, I find with all the others, the ads and spam and clean your mac drivel is out of control and since I can't be asked to find out how to stop it I default to Safari along with millions of others, your task Jim should you choose to engage us, is to make your ****ing site work with the 2nd most popular web browser.

Back to the question at hand, is that all they've got entered in the double handers? In fact is that all they've got entered period? I thought this was going to be like the winter Sailfest thing, just goes to show maybe when there's a choice folks are peeved off with what those winter buggers are doing, when there are other options they're giving it a drive by?

So why is it I wonder, what are they cashing with?

I just hope the NWF isn't met with a similar level of apathy.... it must be hard for the organisers, putting that much effort into something and not getting the take-up you would have anticipated.  

That said, there's not been much noise about it this year, nothing on twitter or Facebook etc, so I'd imagine this could be the graceful exit for SailFest.

It's in 4 days time according to the ticker thing, that's this weekend! I finally got in using this firefox I'm posting on now three pages of crap 'clean your mac' pages later and an ID I haven't used here for ages.

What a shame, there seems to be lots going on, just goes to show you can't rely on one source of internet alone. They need a web savvy social meejia marketing person.

So there will probably be lots of turn up on the day types wont there, is that the D Zero's happening there or nearby? That'll liven things up surely. Although they are new, do they know how to party I wonder, this is such a shame I've just run a demo down there a week or two back, I could have really livened that event up, I might have even brought along the windsurfers 'all you need to know how to party guide book' including tips on cross dressing, lyp synch battle, open mic, pole dancing for pervs and game of thrones swinging tent.
