Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs 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!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

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.
