Track Vendée Globe progress on Windy.com

Great!
But I still believe this is sort of a "bug" from the Windy plugin loader, don't you think @marekd ? -
@kbsali Greaty plugin. Can we propagate the plugin, or should we rather keep quiet?
How about Vendee Globe name? I guess there are some copyright issues.
-
This is a great plugin, good job !!!!
-
Hi @ivo
thanks! :)
I have asked them on several occasions but never got an answer.
But to be honnest, I don't think they would complain : they use the plugin on their live videos now to present where the boats are! :)K. Saliou

@kbsali
Fine,
EDIT
I've found these videos, but cannot give the link, just a screenshot.
They say that these maps are provided by Christian Dumard. This meteorologist is routing boats on this race and is known as a Windy user.
See his FB post of Nov. 19:

So, are these maps from a Windy API source?
But not exactly the plugin itself? -

Hi @ivo
thanks! :)
I have asked them on several occasions but never got an answer.
But to be honnest, I don't think they would complain : they use the plugin on their live videos now to present where the boats are! :)Really? Congratulations!
What a great result for you and the Windy community :)

@idefix37 you are right!
I spoke with him on the phone short after submitting my last message. He contacted me so we could integrate the routing his team has been working on. As you spotted, they are using the API and did not know how to turn it into a plugin. So we will "join forces" to make the routing bit available to everybody. We'll see if the race org starts using it.
Also https://www.facebook.com/marineweatherandstrategy/posts/3958519977516189@ivo Yoann Richomme, an offshore skipper, publishes new weather analysis every Monday, and he uses the plugin while explaining the situations :

@kbsali
Excellent news !
The video of Yoann Richomme is very interesting, from 4:18, ... for French speakers. -
Thanks @ivo :)
Just to make it easier to load and because you have approved the plugin, it is directly reachable through https://www.windy.com/plugins/windy-plugin-regadataBtw @ivo, would there be anyway to load any plugin "directly", without going through the extra presentation step? I've had a few users asking this over twitter.

Yes I know, but we want to propagate whole Plugins Ecosystem to motivate also other developers to jump in. Or our users to check the plugins page and see, what's new there.

@kbsali PS: I was race sailing also 16 years ago. Category "Mono Proto B". We won many races with Thompson T850 boat.

Super work! Thankyou very much!
Can you do a plug in for the two trimarans competing for Joules Verne Trophy? -
@rdretcanu I have contaccted both teams but no answer so far. I was told that Gitana is not willing to share their data.
