Live tracking

   don't think so. The live tracking's good, but I can't help but feel that the next big break through we're waiting on is minature streaming cameras- units the size of go-pros (or ATCs!) that we can watch live. At the moment the batteries and powerful enough transimmters preclude this- even for the AC series I'm pretty sure the live helmet cams are accomponied by a backpack unit, that's feeding to a largeish boat mounted unit that also broadcasts the mounted cameras.

	Ainslie teased them into thinking he was going pin, spread the cluster a bit and came back for a perfect first ranker... hope he gets the header out there on the port hand side.

	Hmmm work seems to block the streaming of the live feed of the tracker - so this forum is as nears as I'll get to a live commentary
	Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else
