We use Aliases when running a RYA PY race alongside personal handicaps. It all works very well with one exception. To hide unwanted DNC from the summary we exclude unsailed competitors (we have a large template of all members and boats). Sail number wizard is able to pull in excluded boats, however it doesnt also pull in the Alias which was also excluded.
Is there any way for the excluded boat and its Alias to pull in rather than just the non Alias boat? We get round it by saving with excluded displaying after publishing. Sometimes we forget and it can get confusing if someone creates an Alias twice for the same boat not realising the Alias is excluded.

Hi Sean,
That was by design originally, but as you are the second person to ask for this (unless you have previously asked as I can’t remember who it was), I’ve now added the code in version 2.38.1 to un-exclude all alias competitors for that competitor that is now included - just be careful if there are multiple aliases they will all be included.
2.38.1 is an .exe only and should be used to replace the Sailwave.exe which is part of the full 2.38.0 install
You can download it from https://www.sailwave.com/download/sailwave/sailwave2-38/sailwave.exe
Let me know if it works for you
Regards
Jon

Hi Jon
First time I have asked as last year was the first time we used Aliases. Thank you for the .exe. Will that work as I am using the Beta version with the extra goodies for publishing?
Many Thanks
Sean
Hi Sean,
Well that’s good so there will be at least two people happy now. Yes it will work with the Beta version - It has all those features as well, and a few more which I just about to document
Regards
Jon
