    Enter boats and MMSI in file , not right clickin

    Is there a way to enter boats withouth finding them and right clicking.  Is there a file that can be edited ahead of time.  The tracking files, don't account for MMSI, I would like to be able to enter the boat, be able to click the entry in the boat list and see where they are on the course.

    Go to AIS settings from the instrument connection page or the AIS window. You can enter the MMSI numbers there.

    Is it possible to change the number to a name, as it may vary from race to race and while I can write it down on a postit, it would be nice when doing a replay of the race, to know what boat 2 was in that race.  Thanks Nick

    ;It would be great to be able to link a boat name to a MMSI, and be able to map 20 or so, I have that many in my class

    You can. Currently the limit is 100 boats.

    I just posted a fix this morning as boats.xml that saves all these wasn't always being read.
