Minitransat 2023 (windy-plugin-minitransat)
-
Hello everyone,
The "Minitransat 2023" has already started and several people asked why a windy plugin was not available like for other big offshore race. So I have developed windy-plugin-minitransat, that will show the positions and tracks of all boats engaged in the race. The position are updated every 4 hours (approximately in this first version).
The plugin is available at https://github.com/globe-coder/windy-plugin-mt-2023.git
I would like this plugin to be approved so everyone following the race can check the weather condition.
It looks like that for now :
Best,

Good job !
However each boat is only identified by a number. Would it be possible to have the skipper name, the country, and additional information on the boat (prototype or model…) ? -
@idefix37 Yes I will definitely make an update for this in the next days. I am planning on making a better version for the leg 2 but as the race is already on going I published as soon as I had something working.

@Arnaud-KAWKA Good Job, thank you.
It can replace the old "route du rhum" still showing as an official or approuved plugin I think.Aymeric

@aymeric106 Yes it would be great indeed. What is the process for this to be done ?

Now we have all details on each boat. This is fine !
But seems there a glitch with the distance to the first one. In the screenshot the boat is just 1.5 NM from the first one while the boat in front of it shows 43 NM to the first one! Not consistent with other boat distance to the first one.
By the way it should be better if all the text was in English.
