Heads up Melges 24 and J/70 sailors. This important PSA is for you.
With the support of the US Melges 24 Class Association, which will provide the necessary race committee units, Vakaros RaceSense technology will be used for both the Melges 24 and J/70 fleets at the Helly Hansen Sailing World Regatta Series in St. Petersburg.
Vakaros Atlas 2 units are required for RaceSense integration. For teams that do not own a unit, Vakaros has rental units available at https://www.vakaros.com/products/racesense-atlas-2-rental. Go to the “Event” drop down menu, scroll to the bottom of the list and select “HH SWRS St. Pete 2026.”
Rental units will be shipped directly to Ed Furry, of Sail22, who will be onsite in St. Petersburg for the duration of the regatta to assist with setup and usage.
Important note: Competitors will need to reserve a rental unit at least 7 days before registration check in on February 12.
Ed Furry will be stationed in the Parkview Room at St. Petersburg YC (second floor, door adjacent to pool and Tiki Bar) during the Regatta registration window (1600 to 1900) on February 12 to assist with RaceSense unit sync, support and tutorials.
