At this stage I want to be able to display the data on an excel sheet; TWA,TWD,BSP,COG that sort of thing.
Is it possible?
Could you point me in the right direction for research?
I've tried a couple of time but was not succesful

I suppose it could be done. Excel 2013 has two new functions called webservice and filterxml which you could probably use to pull boat.xml into Excel and display what you want.

1. use timestamp=2147483647, it will get rid of the chat messages in the response, which can contain characters that not all xml parsers can handle.

2. There's a performance loss thread somewhere in the forum where I've posted (I think) a PHP script that logs some data in a csv.

3. This might not help Roddo. using boat.xml might work for sol, but won't help him when he's sailing IRL.
Roddo: what do you need this for..? and what exactly do you need? It's easy to assume you want a log of boat parameters every x seconds in a spreadsheet, so that you can apply some analysis afterwards. But maybe you want your spreadsheet log to grow automatically as racing continues. Or perhaps you don't want a log at all, but just the most recent values, updating live within the spreadsheet.

Have a look at one of Kipper's most recent posts on http://solfans.org/. He has a java application that (I believe) logs boat parameters (it does a lot more than that too).

I have no licence of expedition or excel, so I can't really hand you a solution, but at least I can try to make the problem clear :)

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!
