Hello

Here is a new set of "fast" windsurf races (a few days) for the fall 2016

I'll try to better manage each leg to don't loose some in the ranking as in the previous set

The first leg takes place in the Aleutian Islands, followin a suggestion of ernol Danfers, thanks ernol !

Start: Navy Town
2 gates
Finish: Nikolski

Starting Sunday September 25 at 20h UTC+2

As this leg has been set a bit late (...), the winds +0 are not visible Sunday 25 before 20h UTC+2. At 18h30 UTC+2, it will be possible to see the "+12" winds forecasts that will become the "+0" wind in the engine at 20h UTC+2. Sorry about that.

A bit of cells to cross, but at this latitude and with rather good wind condition, that should go fast; just pay a little attention to some little rocks...
Heated wetsuit allowed

I wish every skipper a very good windsurf fall season

Hello,

During this leg, we will cross the antemeridien for the first time since the mapping software update a few months ago, omiting the few ones that sailed the Jules Verne Challenge.
This software update, necessary for displaying boats of several colors, also solved the non continuousity problem beyond the antemeridian: now the lands, winds arrows and boats are displayed beyond the antemeridian whereas they did not before the update (there was a big hole of nothingness )

However, as Raptor tnl noticed tonight, the winds parameters do not display on mouse hover for the wind beyond the antemeridian (as well as the boats names). To get theses parameters back on mouse hover, you have either to pan 360° longitude to the other side of the world (no fun), or to click the "antemeridian" button on the left of the map, between the magnifying glass icon of the search tool and the chat icon (see image below).

Please, ask if this is not clear.



Notes:
1/ The boat path is a bit buggy around the antemeridian as it is drawn all over the globe. It comes back to normal soon after having crossed the antemeridian.
2/ The map dispaly, pan and zoom is a bit slow around the antemeridian.
