	On the North Sea Open last week, and on the Manila Race this week, there is confusion about how the waypoint has to be passed: to port or to starboard? Longer-term suggestion: waypoints should be shown as arrows, clarifying on which side they have to be passed. Short-term suggestion: this should be specified in the race presentation. --- Last Edited by Incognito at 2009-05-01 09:24:15 ---

	I agree that we should make some sort of graphics showing the correct rounding. However, why on earth do you think we put waypoints there if you are not required to round it on the outside? Simple rule: all waypoints shall be rounded on the outside ...one of the guys behind the game...

	ESEA said @ 2009-04-15 10:56:54: The divider/measure tool works a bit funky as it lays down a route but when clicking on the tool again the route disappears. This is not conducive to planning ones strategy easily. It would be better if the route you just placed down would stay there until you double clicked the tool or single clicked to add to the existing route set down or being able to set a second route to compare with the first. I support this feature request very much. --- Last Edited by dunbur at 2009-05-02 05:12:34 ---

	What about adding waypoints where delayed course commands come into play? So instead of saying "turn to 180° in 2 hours", have a command that says "turn 180° once you have reached point A". It is what navigators instruct when they go to sleep or programme autopilots. I'm still miffed that I missed marker 4 in the suursaari race by 2 Nm, 25 minutes after going to bed (i'm in a GMT+6h country here, throw a dog a bone).

	Waypoints, which I deemed would be released "soon" in december 2007 The answer is - waypoints would be very nice, but implementing it in an interface that a novice can understand without reading a manual - hard! We will probably have waypoints one day though...

Haida Gwaii 2024

We will end the second quarter of the ARCH competition with a 390nm race around the Haida Gwaii islands (literally "Islands of the Haida people"), also known as the Queen Charlotte Islands. This is an archipelago located on the northern Pacific coast of Canada. In SOL, we last raced on this route in 2012 and few people remember what happened there. Prepare your Riptide 50 well, it's going to be a lot of fun.

Newport Bermuda Race 2024

The 636-mile biennial Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet Race and the Sydney to Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. Founded in 1906, this 53rd running of the Bermuda Race can again also be participated in online.
Entries are invited for one of the four divisions:
Double-Handed Division:
Jeanneau Sun Fast 3600
St. David's Lighthouse Division:
Santa Cruz 52
Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Division:
Judel Vrolijk 62
Finisterre Division:
Riptide 50
Details for each yacht are available in the ‘Particulars’ links below. As in real life, you can only sail one boat in one division, so choose your virtual yacht carefully, and because of the unusual (for SOL) 4-division nature of the event, please note results will not count towards any Sailonline rankings.
