John340 said..The recent Raceboard Worlds on a Moreton Bay use a real time tracking system that worked really well

Very interesting! Does anyone know what the system was and who supplied and ran it?

TracTrac. The following is a URL from their website

Also try the following URL which has TracTrac files of all the races

Brilliant.

No offence Matt, but you have access to Spotty's logs, why haven't you studied them to make you faster? Could it just be plain and simple that he is a better sailor??

It could be a few reasons - he *is* a better flat water sailor than me. He is more than 50% heavier than me so his net-leverage is so much greater than mine.

Whatever the reason, *I do* study other people's tracks -> I studied, Mal Wright's tracks, Slowey's tracks, Spotty's tracks, Daffy's tracks, ... and even my own. I learnt quite some time ago, that accelerating to speed early/high up the course, results in faster speeds down the course -> so I now make that a priority vs say finding extremely-flat water.
