“Where’s that RIB gone?”, is a question many a race officer has asked themselves. Often a quick look round provides the answer but it can be less obvious with a big race area, multiple patrol boats and other craft, and maybe murky weather.
SailEvent Resource Tracking lets you see the latest reported GPS location of things on a chartlet on your phone, tablet or computer.
A thing in this context is anything to which you can attach a GPS tracker. Typically that’s a RIB or committee boat but it could equally be a racing mark, a representative competitor or even the PRO!
GPS trackers can be dedicated devices, either rechargeable or wired in. Or more simply, a free app turns any phone into a very acceptable tracker.
Resource tracking is most likely to be of interest to larger clubs so unlimited use is available only with SailEvent Plus plans. But you can try it out with the Free (1 tracker) and Club (2) plans so why not give it a go. All you need to get started is that free phone app.
