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 - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
