Best save the page in a subfolder of your Joomla folder, then on the administration panel create a new menu item and use the wrapper to embed this SW page in a Joomla page.

Well I guess that's one way - but I'd have thought it eaiser to upload
the html and use a wrapper. BUT either way its probably not as
integrated as it could be.
Both in terms of style, security or general content management
STYLE - if you have a joomla site you want joomla's template to do they
style work for you.
SECURITY - uploading via FTP is about as secure is my garden shed. Plus
if you do get compromised you might as well leave your house and car
keys in the shed! Joomla's user levels aren't exactly powerful (J1.6
will change that) but you can certainly define levels of who can publish
but not delete... etc.
CONTENT - SW produces good HTML files but consider that in one season an
small sailing club will usually have a Wed & Sun Race with series for
Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. My own club would then have events
(Club Championship Weekend, Club Week) plus a frostbite and a winter
woolies series. Each with 8 fleets in each and up to 28 races per
series. Wouldn't it be better to have all that linked (like a content
article) with the option of menus (dynamically created as new events
populate it), RSS feeds etc for it. Even better competitor links that
allow you to see Sail No 123456 last year as well as this year?
The new MVC design in J1.5 is pretty simple to code with. Is there a
possibility in the future of being able to get sailwave to publish
probably its XML file to a website which would be a Joomla Tool?

Hi.
I've had a difficult time of this, mainly, I think, because of some aspects of joomla. We went gerat for the first seven or eight races, publishing via HTML and cutting and pasting into an article. But, beyond about eight races, the page wouldn't show uo on joomlaa, as the page went too wide, and joomla didn't put up scroll bars. I have now resorted to making the menu ling point at the ROK downloader, and putting a html or PDF file in there for people to download rather than look at it in the page. But in a lot of ways, joomla is ok. It's easy to update the site, and easy to add normal stuff. But I agree there is a problem with publishing series with more than about eight races.

The problem will actually lie with the joomla template rather than
joomla itsself.
Possibly you need to add a scroll: allow (or something?) to the CSS for
<div id="componentcolumn" class="sc_0">
But can't swear to it.
You can certainly set wrappers to allow scrolling etc
