Routing Challenge – No Options, Fair and Square!
20 May
As previously announced, we are putting the final touch on our Routing Challenge –- which is scheduled to start on Thursday, May 28th.
This competition will take the participants along the course of the mythical New York City to San Francisco record race, and around Cape Horn!
What is the Routing Challenge?
We have taken the concept of virtual navigation to yet another level: in this race, your boat will automatically follow a course determined by waypoints that you have plotted in advance, all the way from the start to the finish lines.
The challenge will be for you to define the best possible route -- the fastest route –- for your sailboat, based on its theoretical performance package and the expected wind conditions.
This is a great opportunity for you to brush up on your strategy and practice weather options in preparation for future races.
Just one note of caution, this stuff can be addicting. bonne chance!
