To ensure competitors are given the option to join the correct fleet, the Race Officer must create the Fleets which will be sailing on the course. This can be done initially when creating a new course or retrospectively in the Advanced menu under Race Officer Serttings near the bottom.
List all competitors per fleet and see their distance to you or any mark on the course; useful for the finish boat to see the order of boats as they approach the finish line, or the RO from the start line looking to get another race underway.
View all competitors on a map, with each fleet shown in their colour.
