How do I set up SW and enter finish times for a race taking longer than 1 day??

From http://www.sailwave.com/stuff/abyc.pdf

What is the format for elapsed times?

Requires version 1.53 or later.

Elapsed times can be entered in one of these formats:-

days:hours:minutes:seconds

hours:minutes:seconds

minutes:seconds

seconds

Mike,

from the help file but start time will also have to have same format

so elapsed time is calculated properly.

A start time takes one of the forms:-

time

date@time

time
must be one of:-

hhmmss

hhmm

h:m:s

h:m

                  If a corresponding finish time is before a start

time, and dates are not used, one midnight
boundary is assumed. Although a : is the most
common separator any one of the following can be
used:-

: - / . ;

                  Spaces are ignored.  Do not mix separators in a

start time. The following examples all refer to
the same start time of 9am:-

090000

0900

09 : 0 : 0

9:0:0

09:0

9 / 0

9-0-0

                  Note that when no separator is used, the start

time must be a 6 digit or a 4 digit number. When
separators are used, you can drop leading zeros
and to improve readability you can optionally
include alphabetic characters in each component of
the time, for example:-

9h:0m:0s

                    When including a date

separate the time from the date with a “@”
character; for example:-

Kind regards,
