Another ISAF world Cup has wraped up, this time the UK tour stop.
The World Cup is the test events for all the olympic classes, and for the 2nd time kites were included.

Yesterday was the last day of racing, the Medals round, had only 6-8 knots on course.
All the other Olympic sailing classes made there way around the courses doing 4-6 knots upwind, and some classes up and around 7-8 knots downwind.

2D and 3D tracking was provided for all classes.

KITES were doing 17knots upwind.... AND 23 KNOTS DOWNWIND!!! in 6-8 knots of breeze.

No not a game, its the 2D & 3D Gps tracking they use at the Sailing World Cups.
Can watch it live with a radio commentary stream also provided. Or you can go back and watch the replays, good for competitors to see where they did well or made tactical mistakes.
