thank you all for the info and your effort to explain.. I am not a engeneer or IT person just trying to have fun here.. neither the manual of this program nor the race info do not explain how to round this kind of marks.. and I am not happy to spend some time infront of the pc race with my friends and yet not complete a race.. there should be clear expelanation on the manual how these marks are rounded and such as "wait to see rounded warning below the mark" or similar.. without clear explanation this is not correct. if this a proper race protest will be valid and won since the race notice is not satisfactory.. defintely need correction .. or if it is in the manual that I missed I will appreciate if somebody tell me whee it is.

Here is what the manual says (http://www.sailonline.org/wiki/show/Manual/):

The next waypoint to pass is indicated by the text e.g. "pass north", "pass south" etc. Passing of the marks are registered automatically by the server and immediately announced by changing the color of the previous leg and signaling next mark to pass. The passing of the mark is registered as your boat is "in-the-middle" of last leg and the coming next (a leg is the travel between two marks). Passing may be done in any direction. A registered pass is never reclaimed which means that you may immediately turn back after a pass is registered if you like.

Remember, it is only a game. :)

for your info: I passed NE of Indian Rock, then reciprocated my course. I was waiting for the bearing of the waypoint to get to 225 degr, at which point exactly the "rounded"message appeared.

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
