Race Committee & Race Management
Try out a course design system
Hi friends!
I have built, and recently advanced the design of, a tool for aiding in the design of race courses. It's highly visual, and it provides an analysis of your courses taking into account wind, currents, and the boats' polars extracted from ORR, ORC, or Expedition.
When the designs are complete, they can be exported to drop into your sailing instructions, and they can be shared with the world in an interactive display like this one.
On race day, the PRO can use the automatically downloaded weather to assess which courses have the desired wind angles and time on course for the fleet.
The system is described at https://regattalog.com. I'm looking for a few folks to try it out and comment (we will be using it here for Rolex Big Boats again, so it is ready to use). I'm particularly interested in your take on usability and features included.
Message me or send me an email at admin@regattalog.com if you are interested, and we can set you up with an account.
Thanks!
Michael
