This is going to be an awesome regatta. And IF the multimedia works coverage could be the best it's been.

This is on their website under tracking:

Live tracking of all boats and buoys.
Live ranking.
Replay of past races (available months after the event, include fast and slow replay capabilities)
All races events reported by race officers.
E-Mail notifications a few minutes before each races really starts.

Anyone know how to register for the email notifications??? I can't find it.

Cheers

Linky fixed:

F18 Tracking

Anyone know how to get the tracking to work??

I'm assuming that first they'll need some data and that, at some point, the website author will provide a link......

Yep... I was assuming the same... But thought they would have tested it during the practice race yesterday.

checked out the trac trac website and it just sent me back to the event website. What a crock!

Lets all e-mail the webmaster;

paul@cvberquy.org

do it now!

So much for the tracking....

The twitter said that 1st start - general recall about 11 mins ago - Prep signal for second start about 5 mins ago... That means they are probably racing.

Another General recall!

Looks like the email worked... Just got the following twit

"Online tracking will be available for gold fleet on last 3 days of the event. (website will be updated)"

Twitter address... F18 Worlds Twitter (Better than nothing)

Blimey!

What about results - where do you think we'll find those??

Just got this from Paul:

Hi,

I didn't get any results for the practice race yesterday. Most boats raced
without paying any attention to the general recall so there would have been
only 30 boats ranked... 1st race for today is being sailed. I will try to
update the website as soon as possible.

Best Regards,
Paul Malécot

So at least they're trying - which is good.

No tracking until Wednesday for the final races of the Gold fleet- they are working on results. 1st race done.

Where are they going to post the results?? There's no tab for it on the website....

Aren't we at a point in time where cat sailing needs to make itself more media friendly and interesting for spectators!
Our 2 premier events [F18 and a class worlds] aren't doing much good are they
I think that i will drop Msr Bovyn a line........

Wow, Bundy has 1, OCS and DNF, far from the 1,1,6 he claimed on twitter...

Also I didn't know that after being first Australian, then Dutch, Mich Booth was now a Spaniard.
