THE MAJOR change

You can now alter a competitor's basic details for just one series eg..

· You can alter a boat's class from D1 to D2 for a particular series.

· You can alter the skipper name, just for a particular series.

This is a major shift in how you use TopYacht!

Previous versions needed a new competitor for a common boat with different skippers or for different division numbers.
Now you store each boat once in the master list, with a default skipper and class.
Use this to enter a new series then adjust the class or skipper for just that series.
