Route Optimisation - Hitting Land!

Morning
Have spent a few long evenings learning about the route optimisation for the upcoming Coffs race (Australia).  Very clever software!
However....
Using both Tidetech and Predictwind as Grib inputs - I keep on getting a course that takes me over land in parts!  Have put the idea to the skipper - understandably he's not so keen....
Any hints on what I might be doing wrong?
Cheers
Neil

Re: Route Optimisation - Hitting Land!

Try selecting the 'Avoid vector land option'.

​You can also use race notes.

The avoid C-Map land option is not generally recommended.

​As well as Saildocs GFS, also have a look at Arpege from Great Circle/Squid. They also supply ECMWF data (which is probably the best model around), but it is expensive.

Thanks Nick
Have tried both the Avoid Vector Chart Land and Avoid C-Map Land options - both still have me 2nm inland over Smoky Cape!!!
Just wondering if I am doing something wrong in the settings
