I have not tried to use Wine but some time ago invested in VMWare Fusion and Windows XP Professional Sailwave works perfectly under that - including posting results to our club website ------------- Jim |

I have to say that Sailwave is the only PC Application that I use on my Mac under VMWare and Windows and is now the only possible reason for owning a PC and not a Mac or iPad!!!!!! Sailwave is brilliantly simple and uncomplicated like most Mac applications ------------- Jim |

I'm new to Sailwave, and I've volunteered to do scoring for our sailing club. I only have two Macs. I've got Sailwave to run under Crossover. Now I need to get the PC templates for the monohull fleet, multihull fleet, and the Hobie Wave fleet, into Sailwave so I can do scoring. I have our templates, *.blw files on the Mac but I can't get Sailwave to find them. Long series with high point scoring, if that makes any difference.
