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...

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
