The Viper Class has been set up with PredictWind to track our races. Unlike previously, there's no dedicated transponder. Instead you use you iPhone and android device as the tracker. The app is free but you'll need a $3 subscription. Go to www.predictwind.com/tracker (http://www.predictwind.com/tracker) to get the app. The "Club" is "Viper" and the "Race" is "Charleston Race Week" (it will become clear).
Couple of tips...
- Make sure your phone is fully charged
- Turn off WiFi and Bluetooth to save battery time
- Reboot phone or close all other apps again to save battery time
We want everyone still broadcasting for each day's fourth race!
And as a bonus, PredictWind is offering a prize of a Professional PredictWind Subscription (US$499). To be eligible boats must use the tracker.
This is a Viper exclusive. Having said that I would be interesting to have the 50+ J70s included as overtake them!
Fantastic Jonathan. Thanks for organizing this.
I am signing up now, and I will rig my android to the end of my spin pole to have a slight "edge" at the finish.
And you'll record the highest instantaneous speed.
Rumor is that there is going to be a new Viper at Charleston with a very sharp color scheme.
A very stealthy one...
Actually, there will be four brand new, never before raced, USA built Vipers in Charleston!
