The menu is formatted to display uniquely on desktops and mobile phones. When the Skipper is logged in, some menu items change to provide additional features for the Skipper and those with designated administrative rights. Additionally the Skipper may set the site to remove all schedule, results and crew information unless logged in. This provides the Hidden Site menu that is limited unless an authorized site user is logged in.
