A quick note that I've been meaning to mention: I am colorblind and find the contrast between the two colors that are used in the stars for selecting your rating post-puzzle to be significantly harder to distinguish than the colors used to display your rating on the main yacht page. Would it be possible to use the same color scheme in both places?

Done - now using same color scheme in both places.

We have to (temporarily) revert to the original color scheme. For reasons we still have not analyzed fully, the ratings are captured incorrectly because of this color change. We missed to test this while putting in the change. We have cleared all ratings received after this bug was introduced.

Will there be any way to see solutions to any of these after the competition is over? I seem to have hit my wall with #13, 14, and maybe 15 and really really want to see the solution to Yajilin #13 at some point. Thanks in advance for considering this question.

Thanks everyone for participating in Yajilin Yacht! It's been a lot of fun these past few weeks watching replays and talking about these puzzles with solvers. It was great to see some new and unfamiliar names in the leaderboards. Congratulations to Walker Anderson for taking first place and becoming the first repeat daily contest winner, Freddie Hand for yet another commanding second place, and Thomas Luo for cracking the top 3! I hope that these puzzles were enjoyable and somewhat instructive for solvers of all skill levels.
If you're wondering how I intended these puzzles to be solved, I've prepared a playlist with a solution video for all 21 puzzles (5 trials, 16 contest puzzles) that can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8RPcJPqpvOgGunGBxUxWoOZIyIpt...
There's even a few bonus puzzles in there too.
Additionally, I'll be posting these puzzles to my blog in the coming weeks with some additional designer comments - feel free to check those out if you're interested.
Until next time, thanks for participating everyone!
