Using TopYacht with Places rather than Times

While using times for finishers has a number of significant advantages, there are a few circumstances where you may choose to use just places. Keep in mind that producing meaningful results using just places is limited to one-design racing, and remember that the ‘one-design’ definition does not include variants like Laser (Full Rig), Laser (4.7) and Laser (Radial). Each of these variants has a different Yardstick.

Additionally, capturing just places does not leave a backwards path to be able to establish timing…. “Can I have some handicap results as well please….”

While it works, TopYacht recommends avoiding this process where-ever possible, use the Computer Stop-watch to capture times, and work only with times.
