2011-07-09 21:17:38 - boat class line not necessary
Newly introduced boat class line under boats is really not necessary, as known to everyone and if more classes than it could be seen in leaderboard.
The problem is that now the distance to arrival is not seen and the screen should be shifted to see it but after short time it returns back to boat class.
I don't know whose idea was this but it is not good.

As per the new explanation the columns can be repositioned according to your wishes.

I already said that all the improvements are very appreciated by me,except dark blue for light wind(light blue stronger) and this boat class line.

Your proposal 8mR of exchange of places of boat class line and DTG is very wise

The boat class should only appear when there are multiple classes in the race...
As for the columns changing order after a time, I have not experienced this so cannot comment, but cannot think of any reason this should be so...

I would point out that if you really don't like the boat class column, then you can always re-size it to almost 0 width...

Sure you can search through multiple pages of the leader board for competitors boat class, but including in the client allows you to sort on it, and makes creating a list of only your own class very very easy ;-)

================
This is a consequence on the natural light spectrum and its progression from Red->Green->Blue.
If you look at any colour spectrum you will see that darker blue is 'outside' of the lighter blue, as the lighter blue is a combination of blue and green.

Doing it any other way would look extremely unnatural...

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!
