Hi SUG Members,
In one of my recent replies I indicated that I knew something was happening regarding the RYA Portsmouth Yardstick Scheme. Well more details are now in the public domain directly from the RYA. The information released by the RYA can be read at http://www.rya.org.uk/NewsAndEvents/newsroom/news/Theportsmouthyardstickschemenowbeingdevelopedonline.htm
Colin Jenkins the author of Sailwave has been asked to include functionality to allow easy uploading of information of individual race information to the online repository that will ‘massage’ the information. However, please note that users of Sailwave will still have some work to do to ensure that the information uploaded for each boat for each race has the information required by the RYA, i.e. the configuration that boat sailed in in the race. More details of can be read in the documentation available on the RYA website at http://www.rya.org.uk/KnowledgeBase/technical/pys.htm
I have asked the RYA if they will give permission for Sailwave compatible rating files to be made available from the Sailwave website or alternatively available from the RYA website under the link above. I am waiting for an answer. I supplied compatible files for their consideration.
Kind regards,
Huw
