Hi Folks,
We been using sailwave at rothesayyacht club (http://www.rothesayyachtclub.com/racingframes.htm) for over year and it's a amazing, it really had made our life easier. I am going to pass the hat and get some $$$ for Colin after our next race its the least we could do.
I just wanted to send a note on a procudure error we ran into, I don't think it is a bug. We run two starts one for PHRF > 200 and one for PHRF <= 200. We set this up by editing the race profile and it fills out the start times in the sail wizard we just enter the finish times. Last race a made a error setting up a new series and had the starts reversed. We did not notice and entered all the finish times. When we notice the error I thought I might get off easy and edit the race start times (under edit race) and correct the error, re-score and publish. Once results are entered it will not change the start time via the edit race master settings. I had to manual change the start time of each competitor. If you don't make mistakes you never learn, but now I know :>)
The only improvement I can think of for Sailwave is a screen to publish PHRF rating for competitors (I do a manual html page on our site) and show the base plus mods for Jib, prop, golf handicap etc. As sailing director I allways have skippersasking me how the race commitee came up with their unfair rating. I am sure it the same in every club.
Keep up the Awesome work!
Cheers,
Wayne

Hi Wayne,
Recent versions update the start times in the compeitor fields
automatically, if you change the start record.

Colin
