2011-07-09 21:17:38 - boat class line not necessary
Newly introduced boat class line under boats is really not necessary, as known to everyone and if more classes than it could be seen in leaderboard.
The problem is that now the distance to arrival is not seen and the screen should be shifted to see it but after short time it returns back to boat class.
I don't know whose idea was this but it is not good.

As per the new explanation the columns can be repositioned according to your wishes.

I already said that all the improvements are very appreciated by me,except dark blue for light wind(light blue stronger) and this boat class line.

Your proposal 8mR of exchange of places of boat class line and DTG is very wise

The boat class should only appear when there are multiple classes in the race...
As for the columns changing order after a time, I have not experienced this so cannot comment, but cannot think of any reason this should be so...

I would point out that if you really don't like the boat class column, then you can always re-size it to almost 0 width...

Sure you can search through multiple pages of the leader board for competitors boat class, but including in the client allows you to sort on it, and makes creating a list of only your own class very very easy ;-)

================
This is a consequence on the natural light spectrum and its progression from Red->Green->Blue.
If you look at any colour spectrum you will see that darker blue is 'outside' of the lighter blue, as the lighter blue is a combination of blue and green.

Doing it any other way would look extremely unnatural...

The Vineyard Race 2026


For the 16th consecutive year, our SOLers are invited to tackle this iconic 250nm overnighter. The classic route charges out through the sound, leaves Buzzards Bay Light to starboard, rounds Block Island to starboard, and heads home.

This year's weapon of choice is the Beneteau First 47.7. A proven performer since its 2012 SOL debut, this Farr-designed cruiser/racer excels at leading real and virtual handicap fleets. Success will demand sharp tactical navigation, so watch the polars closely to conquer the sound's shifting winds!

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!
