	I remember this issue arrising some time ago, and beleived that SOL had changed the rounding requirements such that they are like IRL, then today I saw a rounding that does not work like IRL - No names mentioned of course Just wanted to clarify what the situation is, as I thought you could no longer round marks in this way... Apart from the hop ONTO the Island, which I assume is some artifact of the granularity of server position updates in time or rounding error in the client? I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__ Attachments Mark_Rounding.jpg (9.2 KB)

	Hi Aaron There has just been a discussion in chat about this in relation to your race. It is my fault that the Troubridge Island mark was not onshore. The race was setup some time ago and since then SOL has introduced new weather/map tiling and, I am sorry, but it did not occur to me that any marks would move offshore. In future all races, even ones raced before, will have to be double-checked to make sure that all waypoints are where they are meant to be!! Sorry mate.

	no problems RC, it wasnt so much the placement of the mark (I did notice before race start but thought i) thats a VERY SMALL gap & ii) it won't offer much advantage to bother with), but the rounding which I read was just the display as i suspected it might be...

	To clarify, I´ll show you in the attached picture my own rounding of the bouy. A lot of space! Fair Winds! --- Last Edited by theviking71 at 2011-01-19 12:38:01 --- Sorry for triple pics - something went wrong and I couldn´t figure out how to delete the attachments? (Is there a way to do that? - or maybe to delete the post and do it all over again, couldn´t find that option neither...) The smallest pic (118,4kb) is the only one you have to check...) --- Last Edited by theviking71 at 2011-01-19 12:39:52 --- --- Last Edited by theviking71 at 2011-01-19 12:41:54 --- Attachments Rounding_Down_Under.JPG (150.1 KB) Rounding_Down_Under_.JPG (118.4 KB) Rounding_Down_Under__.JPG (118.4 KB)

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
