	I do not think that will be prioritized since many player have a problem with bandwidth already as it is now... ...one of the guys behind the game...

	May I make a proposition regarding tiny islands quite invisible in the middle of the seas.Sometimes it happens if you don't zoom enough those tiny island fall exactly on the wind arrow and are really invisible at present color of the land. Admiralty charts have lands in yellow color, which is well visible on any background. If you get aground in long regatta no problem but if it is a short, one day regatta like yday to Athens,it is hard to recuperate 100 lost positions,and just 0.82nm,which happened to me yday. Therefor I propose yellow color for the lands Capt.Damir

	I have one tiny, trivial addition which I often find that I miss: A 'Home' button in the game interface to go back to the front page (and take the load off your server). It appears there's something to that effect in your source below the: <!-- <a href="/races/all/">Back to Sailonline Website</a><br /> --> but I've never seen the button. There might even be room for it next to the question mark. If it's a hassle, drop it. Sailing with SOL is superb.

	Adding a bookmark to your browser's toolbar would accomplish the same thing. HTH, HAND, Philip

	This is a small suggestion but I feel it would indeed be an improvement. Almost invariably some of the colored tracks that are randomly assigned to other boats are not always distinguishable from the background color of the day/night display. Perhaps my visual acuity in my advancing years is not what it once was or should be, However if it were possible to toggle an "invert color" button for the tracks it would allow them to reverse and stand out. Of course some that had good visibility might then become more difficult to see but with the alternating option one could pick and chose as necessary. None so blind

	how about making the CC/TWA choice on the mobile client a check box or radio button? Easy to get wrong and lose your first place Actually could do same thing with port/starboard = make TWA absolute and avoid chinese gybes...

	Maybe there is a possibility to remove advertisements (Wind Forecasts and Sail Planner) for SYC members? I want to see sailing area as big as it can be on full screen and maybe with hide/show button for side bar (Steer, Chat, Help etc.) It's very important when using netbook with small screen.

	Perhaps SOL won't like me posting this, but ad blockers as are available for firefox reduce the ads to small placeholder boxes. When I use Google Chrome to play SOL, I see the ads, and the 'sailing area' IS much reduced. Maybe you could find something like this for your browser?

Capt Anderson's Resupply TIMED Race 2024

Welcome back to the Pacific Northwest for a race that takes us around the southern end of Vancouver Island and up the west coast as we supply six lights. The leg starts in Victoria, and we sail into the open water of the Salish Sea. After making our way up the west coast we must go up the narrow channel to restock in Port Alberni. This is a TIMEDrace, so you may RE-REGISTER HERE to try again, after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to show your skill and decision making after the race opens.

Neumayer Station to Biscoe Wharf 2024

It’s Autumn now in Antarctica, the sun is permanently below the horizon, but during the day, from c 0900 to c 1700 local time, there is some twilight – nautical twilight, not to be confused with civil twilight which is brighter. The penguins are starting to huddle together to keep warm and the sea ice is growing. Time to get back to Biscoe Wharf then, before the water becomes impassible. Including a detour past Argentina’s main two Antarctic stations, it’s only 1900nm, so, although we’ll be in a hurry, we will take the bigger, better ice-classed Paratii 2 once more, just to be sure!

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
