Elapsed time calculation

Imported from Yahoo

I have a passage race to process. It starts at (say) 11:17:00 on day
1 and boats finish starting from 06:30:00 day 2

How do I enter the days & times so SailWave can correctly calculate
the elapsed time?

Thanks

Hi Allan,

I have a passage race to process. It starts at (say) 11:17:00 on day
1 and boats finish starting from 06:30:00 day 2

How do I enter the days & times so Sailwave can correctly calculate
the elapsed time?

Sailwave handles a single midnight boundary so you can enter the
start/finish times as they really are. I would try it to convince yourself
it works OK.

It's probably worth mentioning what it does, which is something like this:-

If Start is before Finish
  Elapsed = Finish - Start
Otherwise
  Elapsed = 24 - Finish + Start

If your passage is more than 24 hours, you must enter the extra days as
multiples of 24 hours:-

e.g.

Start: 12:00:00
Finish: 35:00:00

Would be an elapsed time of 25 hours.

Extending the start/finish syntax to include dates and/or day offsets is
planned.
