	You are an angel! Gracias! I have already set part of the race up and I can see one or two small problems with the way the SOL server creates the racing line - we may need to adjust a couple of marks or remove them? I will have the race ready for preview tomorrow so you can see what I am having to do... then we can agree the final version!

	Sure we find a perfect final solution. Thanks again

	Ahoy Anchoilla The race as currently set up is now available for preview. To do this you need to log in as the sol boat. USERNAME: sol PASSWORD: sol and then click here To understand how the SOL server generates the rhumbline, imagine a piece of string that always goes "outside" the marks. For example, Draw a line and put three marks on it A at the beginning, B in the middle and C at the end. Now move B to the left of the line from A to C, the rhumbline will now move left, to the outside of B, thus requiring SOLers to leave Mark B to starboard. It is this convention/rule that means I have had to modify a couple of the marks. We can add/remove as many marks/buoys/lights as you wish to make the course perfect... we just need to comply with the rhumbline rule!

	Hi RC, if I have understood well what you explained me about A, B, C and the line (it sounds madly funny) better we forget the waypoint PENJATS -the program obligates us to sail a dangerous area as you may observe if you download the chart 7A from http://www.olajedatos.com/cartas/listcartas.php- and lets sail directly to Espardelló 1. Then, everything works superb. One correction: Espardello 1 = Espardello Espardello 2 = Espardell Espardello 2 = Espardell (Espardello is Espardell's diminutive in the particular language -pages- they speak in the island) RD, thank you very much for your interest in this project. I am very happy everybody comes to visit virtually the island where I live.

	Anchoilla - if you refresh the browser screen now you will see the changes have been made Once you are happy with this, let me know and I will archive the race until we race it in SOL

	I forgot to do another small correction: The waypoint Espardello 1 had to be placed on the small southern islet. We have not to sail that strait between both island if we want to make the race like real. Thanks again!!!

	Refresh your screen again... the Little Espardell is now marked correctly Its fun learning about new places wherever they are in the world! I used to travel a bit when I was in work but now, too soon, I have parkinson's which has stopped me working so the internet brings the world to me Because this is a special race (particularly because of your beautiful picture gallery) I think we need to have not just a Race Description to go on the right hand side with the race info, but perhaps a small Central Homepage blog piece too, with a picture of the island. What do you think? --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-04-19 19:06:24 ---

	Wow, you work fast. Thank you. First correction is perfect. If you change the waypoint Espardello to the adjoining islet, the race will be perfect, superb and real. Thanks, RC
