	Hi RC, appreciate your efforts as always. I am sorry about the wiggly line. I am not an expert in designing this over Google and was too much concentrated on the wps that I did not even see the line wiggling! I cant promise but will try to straighten the line tonite, if not I will let you deal with it. Thanks again and will definitely send you the article (in Turkish) with executive summary in English translated by myself

	That's quite the rewrite! It looks good, and I think it's clear what the organisers want. We'll need to add a couple of points due to the way SOL works... What happens is that the side to pass every mark is automatically decided by the server/client based on the angle between the previous and next waypoints. In the current update SOL will draw the course passing West of Bozcaada because it wraps the line around the "outside" of the bend. The same thing happens at Samos and Antalya. To force an inshore passage, waypoints can be added so that the line warps the correct direction. The Lesvos rounding needs one on the peninsula West of Izmir, and the Samos and Antalya roundings can be fixed by adding one on Datça or South Marmaris. Complicated I know! Other than Bozcaada, the result will be pretty close to the version II kmz I posted above that uses the waypoints that RC already has in the system. Can I sugggest that we use that as the basis going forward? We can edit the names of the waypoints pretty easily. If we want to go inshore of Bozcaada, I think we can just barely accomplish that by moving the westernmost Çanakkale waypoint to Tavşan adası. So we'd go W of the small islands and then East of the larger one as in your jpg? 76T

	Ahmet - I will work on the revision of the race in SOL tomorrow/over the weekend and hopefully will come up with something that looks good. 76T thank you for suggesting waypoints that will get in SOL the course the designers want. You understand the "science" of SOL way better than I do!!!

	OK, I understand you have lost hope in me doing the right course for sol. True. Will have to do a little homework myself to understand how sol works Thanks 76 and thanks RC.

	The mark rounding thing is the single biggest "trick" to laying out SOL races We all struggled with it when figuring this stuff out... you've joined an elite and not very exclusive club New kmz attached with extra marks (in blue) to get around the islands the right way. I've included a way to uses Bozcaada. Attachments Turkey_IV.kmz (1.8 KB)

	Posting as sol is also very exclusive... sigh. In the above kmz: Red thumbtacks define the course. Blue thumbtacks are there to make the roundings work. Yellow thumbtacks for convenience and the ranking. --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2010-07-16 19:44:19 ---

	Ah.. just as you were doing all that I was adjusting waypoints in the SOL setup!! I shall now see what you have proposed ---------------- Ahmet - a little more tweaking and I believe we now have in SOL a super challenging and fun race!! What do you think? --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2010-07-16 20:14:37 ---

	Ahmet - I hope you have now had a chance to copy the current (?final) course to your co-designers. As there is another race that needs to be tested, I am moving Sail Around Turkey to the archive - thus she won't be visible on the homepage. If you need it back,briefly, let me know and we can coordinate it.
