    Just realized the circle maybe is of another color, just shows badly on my screen.

    I've not read through all the 11 pages of suggestions, so I may be reiterating some of them. However, two thoughts:
    One is simple, I believe
    A)When you use the course planner, the wheel or whatever it's called (the tool to lay out a new cc or twa) the effect of the new TWA is indicated in the Performance plot. Could the new "performance circle" (the small circle that indicates the new speed/twa) be indicated in another color than black, which is the color of the current speed/twa.? [In the next post I realise the color probably is different...]
    B)I agree that having the ability to use waypoints through the course makes it a bit too mechanical. However - and I believe this has been brought up earlier - alarms at certain long/lats or along lines of long/lats might be an alternative. Sound or email alerts (which could be mobile email of course). Could be implemented on server but maybe better as a client "GPS" with an email agent. Some development to be done, I believe, but: open up an interface to each boats long lat (pw protected) and let a 3rd party (not I!) do development.
    Just a late night idea.

    My feeling is that any irl yacht club would promote participation, so I don't have a problem with that (although it probably works against me).

    Just for the record, it's also important to ascertain that your screen resolution is lower than that indicated by the "max screen resolution" in the open GL tab in display properties. The max screen resolution seems to vary with the antialiasing settings. So either change screen resoltuion or the anti aliasing setting.

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
