	I have setup an automatically generated notice of race. This is generated from race info sent to the client and is a textual description of what you see on the map. Is this comprehendible or does the text need improvement? Here is the output for race #141 VolvoSuursaariRace: Notice of Race: VolvoSuursaariRace Start Time: May 08 2009 16:00:00 UTC Start Position: 60N07.8000 024E52.5000 Marks: BRG is the bearing from ship to mark at scoring position. 1: vs2 60N02.1960 024E53.8038 BRG 266 - pass East of the WP 2: vs3 59N56.9380 024E54.0000 BRG 041 - pass South of the WP 3: vs4 59N58.9998 025E35.9268 BRG 347 - pass South of the WP 4: vs5 60N10.5060 026E38.8470 BRG 183 - pass North of the WP 5: Hogland N 60N05.7000 026E57.5400 BRG 230 - pass East of the WP 6: Hogland S 60N01.2000 027E00.1800 BRG 327 - pass South of the WP 7: vs5 60N10.5060 026E38.8470 BRG 190 - pass North of the WP 8: vs4 59N58.9998 025E35.9268 BRG 347 - pass South of the WP 9: vs3 59N56.9380 024E54.0000 BRG 041 - pass South of the WP 10: vs2 60N02.1960 024E53.8038 BRG 266 - pass East of the WP Finish Line: Line between marks A and B at positions A: 60N07.7769 024E52.1028 B: 60N07.8231 024E52.8972 http://sol.brainaid.de/notice/notice_141.txt _/)_/)_/) The sea is lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to sail before I sleep, And miles to sail before I sleep.

	Looks good Eddie, The layout on screen is a bit off at the moment at least on my screen. The notice is a bit wide for the webpage. Other then that it certainly a good way to provide some basic course info. I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

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!
