Tried posting to this topic but nothing came through, so reverting to starting another My question is do the rules allow electronics to be used for data logging purposes ? Many classes ban the use of electronics, but does this aply to a 'Black Box', buried away where there are no instruments to view, so no benefit during the race ? As we are seeing the cost of electronics is falling and GPS is now very affordable, the Olympics and other top events are starting to make use of boat tracking so I am unsure we will see all this filter down quite quickly ------------- http://www.sailracer.org" rel="nofollow - www.sailracer.org Online Sailing Results, GPS Tracking & Event Management |

Yeah, me too. The thread content seems to have got screwed up somehow. My comment: having a basic (or no) screen would help keep the cost down. Oh, and stick a camera in there to take a vid, or periodic snaps, of the crew demonstrating their undeniable sailing skills (or else arsing it up big time) ------------- |
