Changes in this version from 2.17 are
- This version features the new upload of PYS data to the RYA. See the section How do I send handicap results to the RYA for more details
- This version features a new interactive interface to ISAF for submitting results to ISAF further details can be found in How do I send results to ISAF.
- Enhanced support for Progressive handicaps and NHC
On the rating system tab there is now a tick box at the bottom labelled Excel Link. If you run NHC in External Debug mode it normally defaults to using the SWNHC3.xls template to perform its calculations. With this version you can now tick the box Excel link and supply a different name for the template. In this example it will use the NHC 2015 specification template which is included with this install. Note at the time of writing – Sailwave don’t recommend the use of the 2015 version other than for experimentation. The Excel link name is stored within the blw Sailwave file so is remembered for the series. Future versions of Sailwave will expand the use of the Excel link box.
- You can now press F2 (Similar to Excel ) to edit a cell.
- Updated Sailracer functions
- Some Cosmetic and spelling fixes and minor bug fixes
NOTE:- As a lot of antivirus programs don’t like the fact that Sailwave can send emails directly they have been generating false positives that the program is a virus, for this reason and also that many people now use web based mail, the install does not contain the files necessary to send emails. If you require this function you can download the following zip file and unzip it to the same directory that contains the Sailwave.exe typically C:\Program Files (x86)\Sailwave\
