I do not think that will be prioritized since many player have a problem with bandwidth already as it is now...

May I make a proposition regarding tiny islands quite invisible in the middle of the seas.Sometimes it happens if you don't zoom enough those tiny island fall exactly on the wind arrow and are really invisible at present color of the land.
Admiralty charts have lands in yellow color, which is well visible on any background.
If you get aground in long regatta no problem but if it is a short, one day regatta like yday to Athens,it is hard to recuperate 100 lost positions,and just 0.82nm,which happened to me yday.
Therefor I propose yellow color for the lands

I have one tiny, trivial addition which I often find that I miss: A 'Home' button in the game interface to go back to the front page (and take the load off your server).
It appears there's something to that effect in your source below the: <!-- <a href="/races/all/">Back to Sailonline Website</a><br /> --> but I've never seen the button.
There might even be room for it next to the question mark.
If it's a hassle, drop it. Sailing with SOL is superb.

Adding a bookmark to your browser's toolbar would accomplish the same thing.

This is a small suggestion but I feel it would indeed be an improvement.

Almost invariably some of the colored tracks that are randomly assigned to other boats are not always distinguishable from the background color of the day/night display. Perhaps my visual acuity in my advancing years is not what it once was or should be, However if it were possible to toggle an "invert color" button for the tracks it would allow them to reverse and stand out. Of course some that had good visibility might then become more difficult to see but with the alternating option one could pick and chose as necessary.

how about making the CC/TWA choice on the mobile client a check box or radio button? Easy to get wrong and lose your first place

Actually could do same thing with port/starboard = make TWA absolute and avoid chinese gybes...

Maybe there is a possibility to remove advertisements (Wind Forecasts and Sail Planner) for SYC members? I want to see sailing area as big as it can be on full screen and maybe with hide/show button for side bar (Steer, Chat, Help etc.) It's very important when using netbook with small screen.

Perhaps SOL won't like me posting this, but ad blockers as are available for firefox reduce the ads to small placeholder boxes. When I use Google Chrome to play SOL, I see the ads, and the 'sailing area' IS much reduced.
Maybe you could find something like this for your browser?

========================================
Bookmark, or using a browser withg a tabbed interface, and opening the race in a new tab leaving the SOL Home page open in another?

Great Bear Ice Race 2025


You can fly to Great Bear Lake Airport, but if the ice is good, instead hire a pick-up truck, load your disassembled DN into the cargo bed and drive, first following the McKenzie River north, and then straight across the lake to the start of our final Ice Boat series race of roughly 100nm in length. The Airport authorities have agreed to leave all lights on, so you should just about be able to see where you are going as you zing and rumble, PL-free over the ice!

Chile Islands RTI Sprint 2025


Across the Canal Puyuhuapi from Puerto Cines on the Chilean mainland lies the Parque Nacional Isla Magdelena, and further west across the Canal Moraleda from Magdelena lie the islands of the Chonos Archipelago. Returning for the first time since 2017 we find ourselves in vari-charted waters here, with the mapping between physical islands and their names not 1:1 but rather some:some. It’s only 26nm but you could get lost! Good luck.

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!
