Headings at the start of legs in nice large clear writing.
Elapsed times at significant visual fix points (these should be at approx fractions of the total route, i.e. about 1/3 or 1/2 depending on the leg length to facilitate proportional timing correction. But at roughly 15 min intervals).
Elapsed time at ends of legs.
Mean wind velocity arrow and worst case Safety Alt (MEF +1000) in the middle of the 'triangle'.
Max Drift next to the W/V arrow.
Headings - he has this, written by the side mixed with other bits, not ideal maybe but it is there and presumably a system he is familiar with.
Elapsed times en route - again there, maybe not how you would do it, but I know at least 3 ways of doing timing marks, all of which I was taught in HM RN and all of which work (i.e. second leg he has eight min marks with an extra one at 17 to give use a better feature), yes he maybe could have done this better, but not a major problem.
Elapsed time at the end of legs - yes you can, but that is on the plog and easy enough to look at on there.
MWV arrow and Safety alt - both there, MWV arrow is in the middle of the route in red, not easy to see and I would have liked to see a better colour used, I would also put max drift next to it. Safety alt is there, besides each leg which is where I would prefer it myself - these are wrong as many have pointed out and to my mind the only thing apart from the 200 heading that I would really find worth criticising!
