2011-01-19 07:39:52 - Mark Rounding
I remember this issue arrising some time ago, and beleived that SOL had changed the rounding requirements such that they are like IRL, then today I saw a rounding that does not work like IRL - No names mentioned of course ;-)

Just wanted to clarify what the situation is, as I thought you could no longer round marks in this way...

Apart from the hop ONTO the Island, which I assume is some artifact of the granularity of server position updates in time or rounding error in the client?

Hi Aaron

There has just been a discussion in chat about this in relation to your race.

It is my fault that the Troubridge Island mark was not onshore.

The race was setup some time ago and since then SOL has introduced new weather/map tiling and, I am sorry, but it did not occur to me that any marks would move offshore.

In future all races, even ones raced before, will have to be double-checked to make sure that all waypoints are where they are meant to be!!

Sorry mate.

no problems RC, it wasnt so much the placement of the mark (I did notice before race start but thought i) thats a VERY SMALL gap & ii) it won't offer much advantage to bother with), but the rounding which I read was just the display as i suspected it might be...

Just asking though

To clarify, I´ll show you in the attached picture my own rounding of the bouy.
A lot of space!

Fair Winds!

Sorry for triple pics - something went wrong and I couldn´t figure out how to delete the attachments? (Is there a way to do that? - or maybe to delete the post and do it all over again, couldn´t find that option neither...) The smallest pic (118,4kb) is the only one you have to check...)

Skimmer Dragonfly - India to East Africa 2026


In the autumn, when the rains stop and the tourists thicken in Goa and along the north western coast of India, globe skimming dragonfly climb to the skies (up to 1500m) to catch the high-altitude ITCZ winds and glide south west to East Africa. We’ll stay at sea level, where alas the winds will be less predictable, and race them there, the whole 2400nm of the way, in Carkeek 40s.

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
