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 - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
