Small-boat Race Instrumentation
The compact Vakaros Atlas provides real-time, on-the-water performance data as well as off-the-water analytics aboard smaller raceboats. Among the parameters measured are GPS speed, magnetic heading, time-to-line, VMG, pitch and leeway. The system weighs just 6 oz, and the 4.4in screen is easy to read even while wearing polarized sunglasses. It also offers a wealth of display options and comes equipped with an 18 Hz multi-constellation GNSS receiver, 9-axis IMU and even ambient light and temperature sensors. It is capable of storing up to 500 hours of performance data and can be wirelessly connected to either a tablet or a smartphone. $1,299. Vakaros, vakaros.com
