	Enclosed is a screen capture of the Optimum Angle tool in which the bottom line has been pushed below the edge of the popup window. The kn from the previous line spills over and disrupts the intended space required. None so blind Attachments VMC.jpg (126.7 KB)

	I have not encountered this but will look into it. Did it resolve, or did you need to reload the app? I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	What was happening, is that on my machine each line for P/S VMC takes only a single line of text without overflow to next line, so both showed fine. What I have done is put the Optimum Angles tool into a resizeable window. The 'content' stays anchored to the top left, but you can modify its size as you please by dragging the lower right corner of the window I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	I would also like to point out on often overlooked feature of this tool - the data logging. When you open the graph for your Boat Log, it only displays COG/SOG/TWA data, but it collects much more, which you can export in a text format (CSV) to the clipboard by clicking the 'Export' button beneath the graph. The data is directly paste-able into Excel or similar, and includes a header line identifying the various fields: TIME,LAT,LON,TWS,TWD, TWA,COG,SOG,VMG,VMC,PERF,RANK,DTF The data is collected for every minute from when you have had the tool open. The format of the latitude and longitude fields depends on what you have set for display in the Options/General. All numeric fields are given to 3 decimal places (including the lat/lon, so DDM provides more precision) --- Last Edited by Aaron Gage at 2012-06-26 06:52:14 --- I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	There certainly is a wealth of information provided by this tool but I am little overwhelmed by how to utilize most of it. The ability to examine the weather field is greatly appreciated. None so blind

	Agage---am I correct in thinking that the predicted courses are calculated SOLELY upon the wind at the boat position, and make no allowance whatsoever for any future wind changes, even within the present WX, at any position in the predicted courses?? If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	I don't think so because sometimes the distance covered in each hour can vary significantly, whether one is sailing CC or TWA. If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

Stockholm to St. Petersburg - 2023
Welcome to Stockholm - are you ready to race this course of about 431nm across the Baltic and into the Gulf of Finland, from one great historic city Stockholm to another St. Petersburg? The Gulf of Finland is still ice-free so board your Club Swan 50’s and prepare. Take care and keep a weather eye.
