[sailwave] Size Limits

Keith
seems to me boats are either in the series or not. Because even if you did
not include them in the overall points, they will still impede/affect the
other boats on the water with covering, wind shadows, rights at marks etc,
which can seriously prejudice the position of a boat doing the whole series.
Just a thought

John

Excellent! Thanks Colin.

One other question that have been posed to me this morning...

Some days we have entries that are just for that day's racing and not for
the series. Is there a way to enter them into the regatta but not have

their

results affect the overal points for the series? I know, this seems a
strange one but we are trying to keep the event as accesible as possible

for

everyone...

The worry is that if a one day entry comes, say 3rd or 4th, then all the
boats that finish behind them on that particular day will have an extra
point against them in the series, whereas thoes that finish ahead will

not,

and there may only be a point or two in the final series results.

Cheers

Keith

Hi Keith,

Confirm there is no limit to the number of competitors; 350 is fine. I
would personally keep the files separate. Good luck with the event.

HI Folks,

I'm very new to using sailwave and have just been asked to look into the
best option for our town regatta. I have one main question.... Id there

any

practical size limit for sailwave? Our regatta will have IRO 180 boats in

26

classes racing twice a day for 5 days.

I have found nothing in my 'playing' with the program to indicate that

this

would be a problem but would like to check.... ;o)

We will be running 3 committee boats and was planning to have 1 person
ashore working with each one, would they all be able to edit a single
sailwave file at the same time (I doubt that very much) or would we be
better using aseperate file for each committee boat and publishing from
there (or merging files for publication, maybe)?

Thanks in advance.

Keith

I agree; we often have boats doing a single race out of 3 in our regatta and
they just get counted with the others, using DNC for the races they don't
enter. I cannot see how you can have boat racing and then take it out of the
results.

Richard Gunn
