Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28.

"My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton.

My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell.

So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!!

If you remove the T122 Wireless Interface from your tacktick system the the critical course and speed over ground information from the GPS can't be used to calculate true wind.

That's all that's needed to make the system a non-integrated one right?

:: To be clear, Tacktick would be "integrated", as it
:: calculates information such as true wind angle & true
:: windspeed from apparent boat speed, apparent wind angle,
:: and apparent wind speed.
::
:: Velocitek is not integrated, as it only recieves
:: information from the GPS and does its calculations
:: without further input (well, user input only). I'm not
:: familiar with Rockbox, but it sounds the same.
::
:: Instruments on board can tell you:
::
:: boatspeed

:: apparent wind angle

:: apparent wind speed

:: heading

:: depth

:: GPS information and anything computed within a single
:: device (location, SOG, computed distance, etc). Plugging
:: a GPS into any other device to get results would not be
:: allowed.
::
:: I think that's it, but I may have missed some...
::
:: As Will says, if you buy an integrated system, you are
:: on the honor system not to use anything but the
:: information listed above.
::

:: --brendan
::
::
:: :: Is there a list of allowed electronics? I can't seem to
:: :: find any determination as to what "Integrated" really
:: :: means.
:: ::
:: :: Would any of the following be allowed?
:: ::
:: :: TackTick T075 wireless
:: ::
:: :: Velocitek Prostart
:: ::
:: :: Rockbox
:: ::
:: :: I understand this is a grey area. I just want to make
:: :: sure that if I invest in new electronics I can use them
:: :: racing OD.
:: ::
:: :: Thanks for the help.
