2016-04-02 19:42:47 - Re: Converting a QtVLM route to brainaid DCs
The dates need to be in English, so "arv." is not recognised. The solution is to get QtVLM to export the routes in English.

I have quickly added an option that might help you. You can use this link (so long your DCs are in april): http://sol.kroppyer.nl/qtvlm2dc/?date_regex=/avr\./&date_replace=apr
It automatically replaces "arv." by "apr" in the date field.

This is a quick and dirty solution, and it won't work for many cases, just when "avr." needs to be replaced by "apr". But I can give a link to replace practically anything by anything else, when you have a new file that doesn't work.

At some point I might add some kind of language support for dates, but right now you either need to supply English dates, or you need to use the work-around.

2016-05-04 10:41:37 - Re: Converting a QtVLM route to brainaid DCs
I've heard from people that in this new month QtVLM may use "maj" instead of "may", causing the date conversion to fail.

I've updated the converter to automatically translate
"avr." to "apr";
"mai" and "maj" to "may"

So this link should work for you: http://sol.kroppyer.nl/qtvlm2dc/

(Tech note: the date_regex and date_replace variables can still be used to override these translations to something else, when the new month comes for example)

qtvlm 5.3-4
If you export a route to .cvs in qtvlm no longer the name of the month is exported but the number. That's nice but be sure that in the qtvlm configuration screen your choice of day/month or month/day is right.

using brainaids dc-editor there is a big difference between
08/05/2016 22:26:00 cc 100
and
05/08/2016 22:26:00 cc 100

my excel macro's worked because
08 mei 2016 was recognized as date where mei 08 2016 was not.
Conversion to 2016/05/08 was somewhat different for both.

If I choose in Qtvlm day/month all works well.

If you use
http://sol.kroppyer.nl/qtvlm2dc/
you no longer have to worry about the maj, may, mai or whatever this month is called in your language..

(in my excel macro i plan to check whether todays month number is te same as qtvlm's month.. )

I think I'm reading my converter works with the new qtvlm date format?

Be sure to let me know when it fails (if possible, send me the file that makes it fail). I haven't tested with the new qtvlm date format, so double check the output dates.

After changing to version 5.3-7, I now get the date format as yyyy/dd/mm? Qtvlm shows correct format on route details as dd/mm/yyyy any suggestions please

SSANZ Round North Island Race 2026 - Leg 3

Leg Three of our Round North Island Series, in partnership with SSANZ, keeps the pressure on! From Cook Strait, the fleet turns north for a 187 nautical mile passage up the east coast to Napier. It may look like a quick overnighter, but shifting coastal winds and the ever-lively Cook Strait demand sharp focus. In our responsive Sun Fast 3600s, a proven short-handed racer and powerful downwind performer, tactical decisions and precise timing will make all the difference!

The start time for this race may change at short notice to align with the real race. The confirmed start date and time will be announced via an in-race “L” flag message — Please monitor race communications closely.

Dyer Dhow Derby 2026


Most winter weekends, SOLer wsguerin and his friends at the Mamaroneck Frostbite Association venture forth on Long Island Sound to race Dyer Dhows, originally designed as WWII tenders. Indestructible little boats, great comradeship and serious short sharp races of 10 to 20 minutes duration. Sailonline now invites you to experience the joys of the Dhow in winter, virtually, by way of a slightly longer 14nm race: from Mamaroneck to Execution Rocks, over to the Gong Buoy and back to Mamaroneck. And if the wind pipes up to 20kn and beyond, you'll find SOL's customized polar will plane, rather than nosedive!
