Four OC Tracker+ on the Vendée Globe09.11.08
Four of the boats which have set sails from Les Sables d'Olonne on November 9th for the 6th edition of the Vendée Globe are fitted with an OC Tracker+.
OC Tracker+ is the wired version of OC Tracker, specifically designed for offshore race boat tracking.
OC Tracker + is wired to the power supply of the boat, what gives it an unlimited autonomy.
As OC Tracker, OC Tracker + is fitted with a GPS antenna which gets position of the boat, course over ground and speed over ground. But more, OC Tracker + is connected to the sailing instruments (through NMEA) and report data like boat heading and true wind (direction, speed and angle).
In addition to the tracking functionality, OC Tracker + gives shore teams crucial information to monitor and analyze the performance of a boat during a race.
