Have a look at http://tracker.r2ak.com/. I'm not sure what software they
are using but I think it's using Spot tracks. It's the same tracking
software that the Royal Victoria Yacht Club uses for the Van Isle 360.
This is also a fabulous race if you don't know about it already.
http://r2ak.com/ 750 miles through mostly wilderness, cold tidal water with
huge currents, totally on your own. The only rule is you can't have a motor
- at all. At least one boat removed their motor to enter the race. Only two
checkpoints, to make sure you go up the inside of the island. First prize
is $10,000, second prize is a set of steak knives. That's it. Boats range
from a SUP (withdrew due to knee problems but was beating 2/3 of the fleet)
to an ORMA 60 tri (couldn't make the start because it fell apart off the
California coast).
