	I do not think that will be prioritized since many player have a problem with bandwidth already as it is now... ...one of the guys behind the game...

	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 Capt.Damir

	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. HTH, HAND, Philip

	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. None so blind

	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?
