The NYC Bismark Sea Start Line has moved! (Just a bit)

After more discussion than the topic probably deserved, NYC today moved the Bismark Sea Start Line (slightly). It’s a small change and you might not notice the difference. However the new location should reduce traffic jams and tacking collisions when several boats are racing. In case you keep track of this stuff,

The OLD locations of the line buoys: RED: 193, 108  GREEN: 193, 147

The NEW locations of the line buoys: RED: 173, 151  GREEN: 173, 195

Speaking of Start Lines….

Yuukie Onmura just set up a very nice, short Hotlaps Course  on Mandhari Island. The line uses the SLSF Group tag. Go take a look!

One of those changes is a new, second start line in the Coral Sea Sim. That’s Svar Beckersted and Armchair Binder in the distance setting it up:
