Printable pages can be downloaded or printed from the site. This prints automatically at one course per page with a chart, a course description, and distances and bearings between course marks. Users can print at two courses per page of they wish.

Sample Page

 

The Kiosk / embeddable display is designed for embedding in an iframe or as a standalone display. It is mostly chart, with a top banner that rotates through the divisions set up for the regatta and, once assigned, displays their courses. This is remotely configured through the RC COURSE POSTING form found on the share page. Options include whether to show or allow different wind, current, and chart selection. A QR code allows the selection of a fixed single class for display.
