CLOSING THE GAP

Distance to leader · DTL

Gap to each boat’s class leader · nm
Lines identify boats. Points and gap values: dark green = gaining · red = losing · grey = unchanged / unavailable.Source dtlProgress: positive = improving, negative = losing ground.

Uses selected boats and time window, independently of the wind filter. Dashed lines bridge gaps longer than 20 min. Progress is the publisher’s comparison with its previous record, which may precede the previous captured point. Times shown in UTC.
