Thanks guys - I've been doing lots of reading in the great white north (aka Michigan) this winter. Just got 8" more today. WTH? I thought it was middle of March...
Got a subscription to S&S for Christmas (thanks Mom), and am reading (or have read) strategy/tactics books from Melges and Bethwaite. Book knowledge is one thing. Practical application, another. I have gained a much better understanding of positioning and course management, but have yet to really put it to use.
Back to the original topic though, it sounds like nobody has used tracking for smaller fleet races. I can understand - big hassle factor. I'm going to do some more research on RaceQs and see if its a viable solution. If the ice melts in a couple of months, I may be able to give you some feedback.
