GMSC Racing Schedule:
Download to Your PC/Mac/PDA/phone/iPad/...
NOTE: The first 2011-12 edition had several mistakes.
The current version is
(probably) correct. Fixed 1 December, 10:00 pm. If you downloaded the schedule before
then, you have a few mistakes. Sorry!
Download the schedule right into your calendar. From
there it goes to your phone or PDA next time you synch it with your PC.
I use this with Outlook, but it works with other calendars that allow
importing an "internet
calendar," "virtual calendar," "iCalendar," "iCal,"
or ".ics" file. The easiest way to find out is just click the link and see
whether it works. Instructions below
are for Outlook; the process for other calendars should be similar.
2011-12 Keelboat Schedule
Go ahead and download the
keelboat schedule
now, or read on for instructions, caveats, etc.
Harbor Gun Warning
As of this writing (2 Dec 2011), Harbor Gun times on the GMSC site are listed as 1230
for all Sunday race days. For regatta Saturdays the Harbor Gun
is set at 1100. Check the official sources if you have any doubts.
Remember that this site is completely unofficial!
How To
You can keep the schedule as a separate calendar or merge it into your regular
calendar. As a separate calendar, you can view it on its own or overlay it with
your regular calendar.
Import as separate calendar
The process is really simple:
- Click download schedule
- Click Open in the dialog
- Outlook will open and display the schedule
Let me know if you need me to explain that further –
especially you Hobie sailors. ;-)
If you don't like it as a separate calendar, delete it and follow the directions
below. To delete it, right-click on the schedule tab, select
"Delete GMSCKeelboatSchedule11.ics..." and your sins will be
forgiven.
Import into your regular calendar
This way is a little more trouble, you have to save it to your PC, then open the
file you saved. Here's how to do it using Outlook on a PC:
- Click download schedule
- Click Save
- Save it (remember where you saved it)
- In Outlook, in the File menu, click "Import and Export..."
- Select "Import an iCalendar (.ics) or vCalendar (.vcs)"
- In the Browse dialog, find the file you saved (it's named
"GMSCKeelboatSchedule11.ics" unless you changed it). If it doesn't appear,
be sure to select
"iCalendar Format (*.ics)" in the "Files of type:" box
- Select the file you saved and click OK
- Outlook will display the schedule
If you're using a calendar other than Outlook, the process should be pretty
similar, just play around with it, don't call me.
