2016-02-24 15:36:47 - more boat-routes in BWR (and qtvlm)
I'm fiddling around with BWR and since 5 days with qtvlm.

I thought it would be nice if I could get the routing for 2 races on the same screen.

In BWR I create 2 routes... name them to-ny and to-ct for example.. in route options insert the right polars.

make two marks ny-finish and ct-finish
(sf-ny & geraldton-ct races).

Both routes I start at "GPS Position"
From brainaid I download the NMEA proxys and rename them so that I can recognize them.

Download the weather.

start one nmea proxy..
start BWR- gps-instrumentpanel
optimize the route.

then i disable the BWR-instrument-panel-com3: port.
close the nmea-proxy
close the virtual com port

And then wait a about minute

then the start up the nmea-proxy for the other race; open the virtual com3:
in BWR enable com3:
get the weather for this race..
And make the new route

works with me. Confusing can be the gps-track.. I delete that.
Even more confusing when bwr is still reading from the "old" nmea-stream..
(That's why I wait a minute after having closed down the NMEA proxy for the first race.)

In qtvlm this works sort of the same. Simpler. In boat(s)settings choose the right polar.
I only made a new POI named ct-finish besides the POI sf-finish that was already there.

Start the right NMEA-proxy..
get the appropriate weather...
in 'routings'make a new routing and select the POI you want to route too.

Works nicely. Only one crash I had.

Apart from that I seldom are racing and nearly never do two races at the same time.

Just curiosity in what could be done beyond the obvious.

happy sol'ling

SSANZ Round North Island Race 2026 - Leg 3

Leg Three of our Round North Island Series, in partnership with SSANZ, keeps the pressure on! From Cook Strait, the fleet turns north for a 187 nautical mile passage up the east coast to Napier. It may look like a quick overnighter, but shifting coastal winds and the ever-lively Cook Strait demand sharp focus. In our responsive Sun Fast 3600s, a proven short-handed racer and powerful downwind performer, tactical decisions and precise timing will make all the difference!
