Sailing Races⚓︎
This section compiles all the sailing races encountered during my journey through the Holiday Hack Challenge.
Starting Locations⚓︎
The coordinates are aligned with a spherical minimap, where the top-left corner corresponds to (0,0), and the bottom-right corner is represented as (2000,2000).

7 - BRUHmuda⚓︎
I stumbled upon the BRUHmuda racing minigame situated to the east of Film Noir Island, near Chiaroscuro City Port. This timed race, navigated using arrow keys, comes with a unique challenge: exercise caution with your bearing line. The race is based on the minimap, which doesn't precisely depict the full global perspective. Envision the minimap as a globe, enabling movement to its opposite side, but bear in mind that your bearing line might not accurately capture this phenomenon.
Here are the coordinates of the race:
