I find it fair when people team up to run their races. I can beat the whole team, but only when I am 100% focused on the race, which means getting up at night at strange times dictated by weather or shorelines, not miss a weather update, not miss a change in strategy of the boats to cover, do lots of work on my own strategy.

"Team Italy" did the final tack a little earlier than myself, I should have covered. They simply where better this time, and deserve the win and podium. I have no problem with people building teams.

Let me try to summarize your points, please correct me if I forgot anything!

1. Bs and Vmg in stearing tab should be bigger.
2. There should be a better distinction in colors between own ship, marks, rhumb lines, and leading ship.
3. It should be possible to turn off rhumb lines and texts.

Point 1. should be easily fixed.
Point 3. requires some new button and some thought.
Point 2. might be fixed by looking at the IHO S-52 standard for presentation of digital charts (with some level of freedom):

Colors given in day/night:

Own ship and predictor: magenta/magenta.
Leading ship: blue/blue.
Waypoints: red,green/red,green.
Rhumblines and Arrows: orange/orange.
Waypoint Text: black/white.

The shades of colors should be adjusted to give a good contrast depending on day or night view.

Please help by providing some feedback if I got everything in my list, it's so much easier to look through the code just once... Thanks!

I fully agree with Winston. The rounding system as it is now is fair, and quite clear.

Of course we still have situations not the same as RL, but these are less artificial. Exmer's smart move in the Round Britain was risky, because he had to take a lot longer way initially than just turning back at the mark. I believe this is exactly what makes it fair. He saw an option I did not see and got rewarded.

There will always be corner cases where the rules of SOL allow something a similar RL race does not allow. The current rounding system generates a lot less of such cases which makes it the better system IMHO.
