You can see the same differences (that is the ones you see right after the start) varying during the course of a race. Some people refer to these as "server burbs". However, to me it seems like positions and DTF converge towards a real and fair outcome towards the end of a race.
My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I'm right.

Jumping happened to me twice, both accidentally.

1) with a great advantage near Cape Horn on the NY-San Francisco race where I jumped a small island during the night. I would have lost a lot of time if BBQ'ed.
2) with great loss on the SOL WorldRace 2011-12 - leg 3 near Musandam, where I jumped on DC in the inside of a mark. The boat didn't BBQ near the mark and went on and it took me more than a day to jump again and round the mark properly.

This shows that it is totally unfair to jump even if you don't intend to do it. Therefore, I'm totally in favor of banning jumping by a code change.

Extract from our own website description of what Sailonline is

Sailonline.org is a community-owned sailing navsim game providing a realistic, entertaining and educational platform for those who love the sea and sailing, wherever they may be around the globe.

So. My vote is to continue tweaking the code in order to make the platform even more realistic

Incidently. I have tried to analyse my jumps and have used a practice race to try determine any consistency in the jumps, to no avail. Although I did manage to jump. Plus I am too 'chicken' to actually try this in a race.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!
