Editing 

All values which define the size of the sail can be edited.  These values are bold and black.

Description

The description is also able to be edited.  This is the top value '10R No1' and is made available for editing by double clicking it.  Each description must be unique but it makes sense to use a pattern for naming to make it easier to find and organise rigs.

 

Yacht Type

The name given to the type of yacht type (Ten Rater) on the image is also able to be edited by clicking on the green sign 'Click here to edit 'Yacht Type'.  Any change made to the yacht type is reflected in all other rigs involving that yacht type.

 

Editing and Current Rig

Once editing has begun then the only available rig to view is the one displayed and the drop down box (lower 10R No1) is greyed out and not active.  Both the main and jib are available to be edited to see the effects of changes such as the total Sail area or Main/Jib area ratio.  Switch between them by using the 'Show' jib button

 

Saving Record

The 'Save Record - Y/N' button is active once a rig has been edited and should be clicked once editing has finished.  The edits may may then be saved or discarded returning the information back to the original values.  This allows the values to be varied to see their effects without committing them.

 

Areas and Ratios

Note that the sail areas and area ratios are not editable as they are calculated from the sails in that rig.  For a Marblehead yacht the sail area ignores the added roach allowance in the rules and simple calculates the triangulated area from the luff and foot.  Any additional extra width added via the 'X', 'Y' or 'Z' values will add area though.  All other rigs base the area on the sail as they show with no free values and make an approximation of the real area which will need checking by the appropriate rules that apply to that yacht type.
