Two days ago Svar Beckersted added eight new water voids to the United Sailing Sims, shifting the nine-sim Bella Lavella Island group Southwest. The new sims are shown in orange below and the green arrow indicates how the island side-stepped. The new waters will provide sailors with an extensive new region for cruising and racing.

The major changes in geography mean the old race courses in this area of USS no longer work, and so NYC is busy changing all the charts! As I write this, Francois Jacques has just loaded four new charts into the dispensor on the NYC Clubhouse dock. The new charts are labeled USS F1, F2, F3, and F4. The USS F4 chart will be the new NYC Hotlaps course:

Drop over to the NYC dock in Bismarck Sea when you have a moment, take a look at the new sims and new charts, and then test out all that water!
