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 ;-)

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!

Andaman Islands PYOC 2025


The Andaman Islands are an archipelago, made up of 200 islands, in the northeastern Indian Ocean. Together with the Nicobar Islands to their south, the Andamans serve as a maritime boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west and the Andaman Sea to the east. These waters will be the theater of our next 240nm race in the ARCH 2025 series. Which one you choose depends only on you, i.e. your Elan 410 sport will leave the Andaman Islands on the starboard or port side.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
