On course side

On a crowded start line, it´s not always easy to see who is and who isn´t over when the gun goes. Think of it as having X-ray vision - Race-Trax instantly displays a list of boats that are OCS, confirming the Race Officer´s decisions and helping to reduce the number of general recalls that can be so frustrating for them and competitors alike. Then, once infringements have been verified, all offending crews may be informed of the Race-Officer´s decision at precisely the same time via the Competitor Incident Module : a small rash vest module (worn by each helm) having two way communication with its Race-Trax tracker and enabling OCS decisions to be passed to the offending crews, the acknowledgement of such decisions and the raising of protests and requests for assistance.

This image shows a race 8 seconds after the Start Gun. OCS competitors are marked with red OCS icons and the Start Line position has been locked.
4 competitors (GBR1037, GER0111, ESO0019 & GBR0009) have been detected as being over the (pre-configured) 1mtr grey area Start Line at the `gun´ whilst 1 competitor (FIN0940) is considered `debatable´ and has been placed in the `Grey List´. The Individual Recall flag (as opposed to the General recall flag) is flying and the three red `X´ icons indicate :

PRO input/verification is required
trackers have not been informed of the PRO's decision
Offending competitors´ trackers have not confirmed crew receipt of this decision.
