Hi Chris
I have tried to use it for our racing which is all cruisers/keelboats
and it just doesn't work well enough. I raised the issues with the RYA
and the guy who programmes it some time ago and have had no response, so
have given up. It seems to be only suitable for dinghies.

Hi there,
I'm having trouble uploading race data to the RYA this week. I have
been able to publish to our club website so its not my internet
connection, which leads me to believe it may be an issue at RYA's end.
I just get a cannot connect to RYA message box.
Anyone else having any problems with it.
Chris
p.s. if there is anyone out there who isnt currently uploading their
race data to the RYA that would like to be, please let me know. It is
in all of our interests to encourage as many clubs/people to do this
as the more real race information they get the better all of our PN's
will be.

That hasn't been my experience for the reasons I outlined and I would like to see a response from the RYA or Simon before trying again. How do you overcome the issues I described. I'll forward my original issues list.

Mike, I’m struggling to remember the main problems you had, but wasnt it to do with the way that you had several fleets of cruisers. If my memory isnt playing tricks on me, the easiest thing to do was set-up a seperate sailwave sheet for each fleet and insert the outputs of each into the PY, effectively treating each each fleet as a seperate race, which is pretty much what it was.
In terms of response or feedback from either Simon or Bas, unfortunately I’ve not been too pleased with their assistance but then I think Simon may have taken on more than he could chew with the system.
I’ve heard rumours but am not prepared to voice them on here as several of the key people may be reading.
