Looks great Kalle!

Chompo and I gave them a good workout at Schouten Island and I think everyone will be _very_ pleased with the upgrade.

The side effect of doing away with the double rounding arrows is an improvement in itself! One question from the SRC: how will the server resolve the 180deg case so we can add this info to race planning guidelines and race descriptions? Default marks to port/stb etc?

Did you really? Without having tested it I am under the impression one could still sail onto the mark the correct way until "Rounded" and then turn 180° and continue the course.

Schakel, no, the new rules enforces proper rounding of marks, in the direction indicated. The old style of just registering a rounding by passing above the wp and then turning back won't work - when you turn back the "next waypoint" will change back again with the new system.

75T, regarding the 180 deg case, you need to ask Jakob how the direction is calculated..... :)

The system should work with the 180 deg turns. The server then chooses a direction. To be frank we need some final testing of that to see that the client and the server agrees on the rounding direction. :-) Thanks for caring, testing and reporting!!

Truly excellent! This game should reward those who discover the best strategy over those who can beat the loopholes of the game. Changes like this, and the timely implementation of it are a credit to the SOL developers.

..........

There are no loopholes if nobody is beating a loophole - so lopphole beaters feel encourage to chase one or two or more ;-)

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.
