thank you all for the info and your effort to explain.. I am not a engeneer or IT person just trying to have fun here.. neither the manual of this program nor the race info do not explain how to round this kind of marks.. and I am not happy to spend some time infront of the pc race with my friends and yet not complete a race.. there should be clear expelanation on the manual how these marks are rounded and such as "wait to see rounded warning below the mark" or similar.. without clear explanation this is not correct. if this a proper race protest will be valid and won since the race notice is not satisfactory.. defintely need correction .. or if it is in the manual that I missed I will appreciate if somebody tell me whee it is.

Here is what the manual says (http://www.sailonline.org/wiki/show/Manual/):

The next waypoint to pass is indicated by the text e.g. "pass north", "pass south" etc. Passing of the marks are registered automatically by the server and immediately announced by changing the color of the previous leg and signaling next mark to pass. The passing of the mark is registered as your boat is "in-the-middle" of last leg and the coming next (a leg is the travel between two marks). Passing may be done in any direction. A registered pass is never reclaimed which means that you may immediately turn back after a pass is registered if you like.

Remember, it is only a game. :)

for your info: I passed NE of Indian Rock, then reciprocated my course. I was waiting for the bearing of the waypoint to get to 225 degr, at which point exactly the "rounded"message appeared.

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
