Mock.Race:

Fixed an issue where boats sometimes sailed towards the wind when attempting to turn from bearing just under 360 degrees to a bearing just over 360 degrees.
This required an update to the boundary detection code.

Visualiser:
Appear to have fixed issue where clock didn't display correctly. Previous commit only fixed certain circumstances.
