Due to Leo Eggink’s age he is no longer involved.<br /><br />ZW 5 is still a work in progress, but it is suitable for most regattas.<br /><br />Regarding your entry on the following page, there are some changes I would like to bring to your attention<br /><br />Version: 5.01 (build 0, at the moment)<br />Author: Gerhard Bouma<br />The same handicap systems are supported, but ORC support will be completed in a later version. If necessary, the old version 4.24 is still available for this.<br /><br />Download size, approx. 3.3 Mb<br />Supports RSS 2021-2024<br /><br />The program is heavily used in the Netherlands as well as in Italy. <br />Supported languages at the moment are Dutch, Frisian, English and Italian.<br />Since your last publication the Dutch National Authority has decided to no longer support one specific scoring system.<br />Sail numbers may now contain letters in a prefix and suffix manner. Scoring is still done by entering the numeric part only.<br /><br />The program is still and will remain free, except for some new features that are added, like a results upload function with the e-Captain system.<br />A free registration of the software is required during installation. <br /><br />It can be downloaded from https://www.zw-scoring.nl<br /><br />I would like to kindly request you to re-evaluate the software and update your page according to your findings.<br /><br />Any feedback would also be very much appreciated.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Gerhard Bouma<br />ZW-Scoring<br />Joshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346870418220762709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170261917486213112.post-7776488773916828652016-02-10T18:46:34.179+01:002016-02-10T18:46:34.179+01:00I believe it is confusing to the competitor to use...I believe it is confusing to the competitor to use number pennants under the AP ashore. I prefer to use the AP by itself and to post a Notice about when the next decision time will be. This requires the hoisting of L as well. Then the argument starts about when L has to come down. Without debating that in this post I have found this method to be more user friendly.

Denn das Leeboot gibt dem Luvboot nur dann keinen "Raum zum Freihalten", wenn es zu schnell anluvt. Ohne das Startboot ist dass völlig klar.<br />Regel 16.1 sagt nicht, dass das Leeboot nicht anluven darf, wenn das Luvboot schon keinen Raum mehr zum Anluven hat.

Mr. Butterfield's proposal works better. The "Policy" provides a large incentive for general recalls, and if there are judges who think that 13 seconds is too long to wait to announce individual recalls, they should think again. Committees also might consider writing a sailing instruction that prescribes that either X or GR and sound signal will be made at 30 seconds after the start. This would even out the impact of the Individual Recall from race to race and raise the stakes for boats approaching the start line with excessive zeal.<br />Tom DonlanTom Donlannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170261917486213112.post-26352292537199151972014-06-04T10:38:12.206+02:002014-06-04T10:38:12.206+02:00I have made enquiries - and the RYA racing rules ...I have made enquiries - and the RYA racing rules team have been as efficient as ever in replying. The RYA Race Signals page has been different from the ISAF version since 2001. That was when the RYA decided to put all the IC Flags on the back page of the rule book (thus loosing a substantial revenue generating opportunity). This feature is one of the many which makes the RYA book so useful. Having printed the numeral pennants from 0-9 on the back page it did not make sense to repeat them on the Race Signals page.<br /><br />RYA officials do not consider that a postponement is limited to 6 hours. AP over 9 for instance would be a valid (if unlikely) signal.<br /><br />There is no intention to make a submission to change the ISAF Race Signals.

Hours postponement from the Scheduled starting time' However, this is the RYA rule book, and it has been like this for over 6 years. This sounds eminently sensible. French rule book and ISAF version use AP over 1-6. However the AP signal in ISAF version clearly states 'Postponement of 1-6 hours from the scheduled starting time'. Something may have got lost in translation§<br /><br />I will try and discover when the Brits changed Racing Signals.<br /><br />On the L flag - L over a numeral clearly indicates that the Notice to Competitors only concerns the class having that numeral flag as their class flag. The fundamental principle of flag signals is that they are hoisted to warn competitors and taken down when they become effective. An L flag should be taken down when the Notice to Competitors takes full effect.
