2011-01-19 07:39:52 - Mark Rounding
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?

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...

Just asking though

To clarify, I´ll show you in the attached picture my own rounding of the bouy.
A lot of space!

Fair Winds!

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...)

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
