	I think just forbidding jumping will solve 99 % of the problem. What will be left are accidental jumps. My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I'm right.

	Rod, if the server can apply 100% perf. loss before/after a SLI jump, we could just as well put the boat on twa=0 instead, like actually beaching. As long as this is not implemented in the server: - SLI jumping can happen by accident. - Tracks don't show the exact path the boat has sailed (if on twa), so track can show a jump while there was no jump at all, or the other way around. It's impractical for people to enforce a rule like "SLI jumping is not allowed". The only real solution is enforcing it on the server. SLI jumping has been allowed for a long time, let's keep it that way until the server can detect it.

	As the real problem is SLI jumping, I think best thing is just to solve that. All these suggested penalty-systems would be needed to be implemented to the server and ranking code as well, I'd rather be solving the SLI-jumping.

	The whole question of SLI jumping would become redundant if we were able to have course changes at a waypoint instead of at a time. That is how I used to sail IRL, I would turn after I passed a point - not 'x' minutes after I had started, regardless of whether I had passed the point.

	The problem of SLI jumping would be solved by calling it "Doing a Vesta" with TWA 0 and 100% perf loss---exactly like real life!!!! This is supposed to be a simulation of ocean racing navigation, not a video game. If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.
