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.

Normalised value = boat speed ÷ forecast wind speed for each sample, then averaged within each 5° bin. 1× means boat speed equals wind speed; 2× means twice the wind speed. Zero or missing wind readings are excluded.
0° upwind · 90° across the wind · 180° downwind. Uses the smallest angle between the published boat course and wind-from direction. Empty bins stay blank; lines join adjacent populated bins only. Uses the selected boats and current wind / time filters.
