[sailwave] Same Skipper- different boat

It would be a nice addition to be able to change the boat type/name as well as the handicap.It looks a bit odd in the race
results to print the boat type as say a laser but use the handicap of a fireball.

We did decide to allow it since people generally end up swapping boats as a result of having or not having a crew rather than
swapping for conditions and we would rather encourage people to try and compete and so far it hasnt been a problem.

Hi Jim,

There is no built in way to do that if the competitor spans multiple
entries.

But you can set a race specific rating per competitor via the Edit+Result
window and change the competitor class and/or sail-no (etc) fields to a list
of the boats they sail. The race specific rating means the entry will be
scored correctly and the other fields will give some indication of the boats
they have sailed. Perhaps we need a per competitor/race note field.

Interestingly, at our club we don't allow it, if sombody sails two classes
in a series, they are scored as two separate entries, similarly if they sail
with different configurations of the same boat. I think the fear is folk
picking a boat/configuraion to suit the conditions...

Is there a way to score a series when the skipper changes boats (or use a
different handicap)? Over the entire summer we have people who regularly
sail with crew and without, and some who even change boats. I'd
like to be
able to score skipper for any boat and or handicap.
