Stuart Walker. One of the most read (albeit dry...) authors on racing tactics, weather, and psychology. http:/
No speedpuck = step backwards. The Quebec fleet actually has 10 that they give out to random boats every day, then post the resulting tracks during evening dinners and their web sites afterwards so all can learn. Most of us have them as well so we end up being able to look at the entire fleet, plus it is fun during the evening hours. This is a step forward use of technology.
Allow GPS for three things, speed and compass and recording of these metrics for OFF WATER USE.
And if you think laylines, pinging start lines, etc will help you in F18 sailing (small courses), good luck! While you are waiting for your GPS to tell you to tack, I'll be blowing past you at mock ten.
Timing and a compass allow you to judge between oscillating or persistent shifts, a la Dr. Walker. These two scenarios are the base of the pillars of strategy.
True, Dub, but that sounds like a lot of time with your head in the boat. You rock stars just
