The Race Dashboard can display the signal flags for the next race, as well as present other important information.
- The time of sunset is calculated from an astronomical algorithm for the Lat/Lon of the PYC.
- The Fleet Race Officer (and Standing Race Committee members) can setup the dashboard here to raise signal flags and upload a notice (file) if code flag Lima is hoisted.
- Times of tides are pulled from the NOAA site for Falmouth Foreside.
- The wind forecast graphs are based on the “gridpoints” forecast database from NOAA/NWS (for gridpoints: {77, 60}). The plots in the dashboard track the wind and gust forecasts for Tuesday, starting a week before the race day, and track the running history of the wind forecasts across the entire race day.
