Looks great Kalle!

Chompo and I gave them a good workout at Schouten Island and I think everyone will be _very_ pleased with the upgrade.

The side effect of doing away with the double rounding arrows is an improvement in itself! One question from the SRC: how will the server resolve the 180deg case so we can add this info to race planning guidelines and race descriptions? Default marks to port/stb etc?

Did you really? Without having tested it I am under the impression one could still sail onto the mark the correct way until "Rounded" and then turn 180° and continue the course.

Schakel, no, the new rules enforces proper rounding of marks, in the direction indicated. The old style of just registering a rounding by passing above the wp and then turning back won't work - when you turn back the "next waypoint" will change back again with the new system.

75T, regarding the 180 deg case, you need to ask Jakob how the direction is calculated..... :)

The system should work with the 180 deg turns. The server then chooses a direction. To be frank we need some final testing of that to see that the client and the server agrees on the rounding direction. :-) Thanks for caring, testing and reporting!!

Truly excellent! This game should reward those who discover the best strategy over those who can beat the loopholes of the game. Changes like this, and the timely implementation of it are a credit to the SOL developers.

..........

There are no loopholes if nobody is beating a loophole - so lopphole beaters feel encourage to chase one or two or more ;-)

The Vineyard Race 2025


For the first time since first hosting a virtual Vineyard in cooperation with Long Island's Stamford Yacht Club back in 2010, due to an operational calendaring error, Sailonline has missed the start of the real life race, the USA’s Labor Day weekend this year unusually falling across the turn of August. Silly SOL! So, a week late please join us anyway for a virtual rerun of Stamford’s iconic annual overnighter from their club line out the sound to Buzzard's Bay Light near Martha's Vineyard Island and back again, leaving Block Island to starboard. This year, Sailonline is making its magic MC 38 available to competitors, a race boat with a quirky polar that will require you to stay wide awake as you speed around the c 250 nm course, in rockstar style!
