not in the free version though, worth noting.
no, but the nowcasting, as well as the 48hr history is arguable the best unique feature, pretty much worth the price on its own

Alinghi have lined up with Red Bull racing F1 team
Ineos are already in locked in with AMG Mercedes (due to Ineos owing 33% of the F1 tean!)
Luna Rossa have just announced a partnership with Ferrari F1 team
Someone needs to get on the phone to Mclaren as the natural fit for the NZ Team!

Its going the Americas's Cup route now, with Mercedes lawyering up to contest the process followed in the last race by the FIA.
A bit like protesting the race committie, usually doesn't end well...

I’ve setting up a Vulcan, and I can input target upwind and downwind angles and speeds across the wind range.
in the files section there is reference to polar tables. Is it possible to run full polars on this unit, or is this just a holding area for pushing files to a H5000?

I think we all do.. which is why the near universal condemnation of these rules as stupid is interesting
According to offical stats over 60% of submissions we re supportive.
I can just imagine it...
" We support improving the the marine habitat BUT... whoa - dont need to read any further that, tick in the support box"

Have you enquired with the westhaven office? I thought they were pretty much full.
Beggars can't be choosers and all that, but westhaven is pretty well sheltered, theres not much between the berths so long as you fit

Anyone got one lurking in the back of the garage?
Buying NOS from overseas will cost me abut the same as bottle of Mt Gay, so figure thats the going rate for a clean one👍

The latest marketing spiel I heard on a new GPS unit was that it use L1 and L5 GNSS signals, as opposed to virtually all the recreational divices out there just uing L1, which putthe accuracy in the +\- 20cm range, with a 25hz update.
Any one able to explain in laymans terms why this additional signal frequecy helps so much, something to do with ionosphere correction? Or is this snake oil?

I’ve acquired a Vulcan 7 chart plotter, but it doesn’t come with anything over and above the base map.
what do people recommend for the gulf and up to bay of islands? Mostly racing rather than cruising
Are there other options bar cmap and navionics?

All the old threads are all still there, just all moved into marine talk now.

The round IOW race leak seems to have come from butterworth via the U.K. times. An LSD article, since pulled, suggested this race would be a “hype” race, and not actually part of the cup challenge.
AC37 to be in NZ back end of next year... allegedly

I bought the openwind setup last year for my 8.5 tri, plays nicely delivering AWA and AWS straight into the N2K bus.(they do a 0183 version as well)
Unfortunatly the boat is on my driveway being repaired so can't give definitive info for sure how good it is in use, but on the test bench my triton displays (and the vulcan) will do the TWA and TWS calculations. Also the unit has been out in the elements screwed on the fence post for the last year, seems fine.
In research for finding a rotating mast solution, the Openwind was the cheapest black box solution that was straight plug and play into the network.
Next up in cost and complexity was LCJ Capteurs, they do a rotating mast version with a compensentation box that takes a signal from a mast rotation sensor, in fact I think they are reccommending the hall effect honeywell sensor IT pictured above. This has its own calibration settings, but then plugs straight into the N2K network.
Third option is the full monty processor as mentioned above, certanily the most capable/accurate, but big dolars and proper setup of the system is a profession all of itself!
