Introducing SpeedCoach Regatta Series The Art of the Start Stake Race. This new format ensures all entries row with and against the conditions while completing the prescribed distance. The 2k race just became 1000m with the current and 1000m against it, or 1000m into a headwind and 1000m with a tailwind.. Here are some tips on how to record your best qualifying times...
- Choose Art of the Start Stake Race (out and back) virtual event in LiNK Logbook Compete section and enter.
- Set your SpeedCoach GPS to run workout for full race distance (in this event, 2000m).
- Halfway through the piece, turn the boat around and race back towards where you started.
- Finish your race within 50m of where you began. IMPORTANT: finishing further away than 50M disqualifies your piece.
The LiNK Logbook App will take the uploaded data from your SpeedCoach GPS and detect if you have completed an out-and-back piece based on the guidelines above. If you have met the criteria, LiNK Logbook will report the full-distance elapsed time to the event leaderboard. Sound interesting? How fast can you average across the two segments of your race? How quickly can you turn your boat (safely) and accelerate back to the starting line? For The Art of the Start Stake Race, please sign up now and record your race between May 21 and May 31, 2021. 1x Masters entries only, please. Sign up now in the Compete section of LiNK Logbook app and try it for yourself.
