Creating pace boats

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

All Pace Boats except Quick Pace Boats are created and saved in the Pace Boat Studio.  Once they are saved, they are listed and can be selected in the Session Setup / Lanes utility.

Please note  the Set Piece that is selected in Session Setup determines which pace boats are listed in Session Setup / Lanes / Pace Boat - only pace boats with the same duration as that Set Piece will be listed there.

To create a pace boat:

On the RowPro main menu, click the down arrow next to Control Center and  select Pace Boat Studio.
Click New to create a new pace boat, or select an existing pace boat from the list and click Edit.
Click Basic, Intermediate or Advanced.
Select the Time or Distance for the pace boat from the Duration drop-down list. Please note that pace boats must have a particular distance or time associated with them, so for example a pace boat could be a 500m pace boat, or a 30 minute pace boat. Also pace boat can only be created for the standard Set Pieces as listed in Session Setup.
Use the Color Studio at the bottom of the Pace Boat Studio to set the colors of the boat and rower, exactly the same way as you do for setting your own colors, as described in the User Profiles Help Topic.
Set the parameters of the pace boat as described in the Help Subtopics for each type of pace boat.

You can come back later to a pace boat you've already created and edit it at any time. You can then save the edited version as a new pace boat simply by renaming it, or you can over-write the existing one by saving it with the same name.
