    Re: Problem with course selection in new client.
    Board » Technical Support
    Although I prefer the new flash tool over the old client, I have to say exactly the same happened to me as mentioned by captjack1942 as well last night. I zoomed in all the way over the finish line and saw my own '6 hour ahead line' crossing easily the southern tip of the finish line - with some head room. However, I also crossed the line and kept going until I hit land the other side. I woke up and sailed back over the line a second time before it was registered.
    Maybe - the finish line could change colour like the rhumb line when you are on course to hit it?

    Re: Hesitant display on Laptop.
    Board » Technical Support
    so, just in case this helps anyone else. I found a cure for this. Previously I was using the Intel PROSet / Wireless utility to logon to my wifi network. I disabled this and allowed Windows to manage my wireless connection and then all came good.

    Now I can sail from anywhere in the house...

    Hesitant display on Laptop.
    Board » Technical Support
    I have a hesitant display on a Laptop.

    I have the client installed and working well on two desktop pc's, one wireless the other wired. However when I installed on my laptop I get a hesitant display, that is - sometimes the client does not respond, the clock in the top left stops for a few seconds, as does the display, polar etc then just starts again. The laptop itself appears fine.

    HP Compaq nc8230,
    512MB RAM, 2.1GHz CPU
    XP Pro SP3
    ATI Mobility Radeon X600 display
    [1680 x 1050, 32bit depth]

    I have the latest video drivers from HP’s website, have tried with and without firewall and with no other apps running. It is connected to the same home network and DSL internet connection as the two working desktops via wireless. [54Mbit/s connection signal strength measured as ‘Excellent’ by windows].

    On exiting the app, I see a log error box. Log says;
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "gui\glmap.pyc", line 156, in MouseMoved

    I would welcome any ideas?

    Thanks

Lake Vättern PYOC 2026


Back in 2013, longstanding SOLer Musigny and his friend xthyra invited us for a three race tour of beautiful Lake Vättern in the heart of southern Sweden. After many years, we return there for a quick sprint from a start in front of the village of Brandstorp, either way around Visingso island in the middle of the lake, but PORT HAND ROUND a buoy off the Granna piers on the eastern shore and back, once again avoiding Visingso as best you can. At least 20nm in trusty Scandinavian 11m One Designs; good luck!
