Join the Wangi fleet on RaceQs
RaceQs is a dead simple to use GPS tracking phone app and race replay service available to the sailing community free, to get started with RaceQs right now visit http://raceqs.com/started/.
1. Create a free account (option but recommended) 2. Download the App (links at RaceQs.com or search “raceqs” on your app store) 3. Press the start button on the App 4. Upload at the end of the race
RaceQs is a free phone app available for iPhone and Android that enables you to track your boats position during a race and then upload after the race or live stream if you prefer. You can then visit the RaceQs website and watch the whole race unfold tack by tack in a 3D simulation, don’t worry you can play back at up to 64x real speed for the slow days.
The replays are a lot of fun but also a very useful tool for improving your sailing tactics, there are too many to go into here but RaceQs has a suite race analysis tools at your disposal, showing SOG, VMG, who you are shadowing and leg by leg analysis.
The club is encouraging you to start using RaceQs, its already been used to great success with some boats from the Friday Twilights and the Trailer Sailer fleets.
To get the full benefit of Wangi RaceQs, Wangi RaceQs officers will be defining the courses, fleets and start times for the race replays.
You can see RaceQs in action with the following Wangi race replay (https://tinyurl.com/ycq4kwqf).
If you want to participate but don’t have a smart phone capable of running RaceQs on board then contact Graeme Booker ([email protected]) or Graeme Vivian for detail on how you can use almost any GSP device to join in.
Don’t forget to start RaceQs before the start of the race, the app allows you to schedule the start so while you’re having breakfast you can schedule your race start so you don’t forget at race start time when you have your hands full.
