Racing Rules of Sailing 2025-2028 New Version of compatible Sailwave available

A new full install of Sailwave is available at

Download Sailwave | Sailwave

RRS 2025-2028 changes the rounding for scoring of penalty points, this is supported in this version, so it is important that if the NoR specifies RRS 2025-2028 that you are using this updated version and it is configured correctly

To allow scoring of series files that are using the earlier version of RRS this can be reverted to rounding to whole numbers

Full details of this and the other changes are available at the link above

Note - I’ve noticed looking at others’ results that quite a few users have changed the round-off of calculated points to 0 - Although there are some results it is fine to do this with, generally you shouldn’t do this as Average, and scoring penalties will then be incorrect. If you really want the display to be less cluttered then use the suppress trailing 0’s - This does not affect the calculations but does make the result generation slightly slower as every number displayed has to be processed a second time.

As always let me know of any issues

Hi Jon,

Thank you for creating a new full Sailwave installation. However there is a small correction. The new Rules including the change to RRS 44.3(c) are now ineffect and RRS 2025-2028 doesn’t have to be included in the NOR, but RRS 2021-2024 must be included if you want to use the old rules.

Thanks Peter for that info interesting to know

Hi Jon
I’m having problems installing this, Win11 Pro. I keep getting:

and the install shuts down. A tmp file is requesting access, the name of which changes every time.
windows security is stepping in with ‘unauthorised changes blocked’ and the name of that particular instance of the tmp file. At the moment my old instalation has gone and the new one is not installed.

Installed and ran with no problems - here is a video of the download and install

[Install 2-37-0.mp4 - pCloud](https://Video of install)

I have Microsoft Defender install do you have something different

CentreBurgee.js was already installed on this PC but I’m Curious as to why there is a double \ just before CentreBurgee.js in your image
