Simplified race replays

Velocitek has introduced version 3.0 of their Control Centre software

After more than a year of planning and development, today Velocitek released Version 3.0 of the Velocitek Control Center – which the company claims is a step forward in race replay capability. Users will now be able to download, manage and play back information from multiple devices at once, allowing them to easily recreate races and training sessions involving multiple boats.

“While some great technical race analysis software has existed to date there has been no simple solution which allowed users to easily download, edit, combine and store race replays from a large group of boats – I am excited that we have been able to achieve this with the Velocitek Control Center 3.0,” commented Alec Stewart, President and Founder of Velocitek.



The built-in race editor and creator allows the combining of multiple Velocitek GPS tracks into one replay which can easily be edited and replayed in the Race Player or exported to other GPS track analysis programs such as Google Earth or GPS Action Replay. This new feature makes it possible for a whole fleet to review their racing and training sessions. To see this in action, check out the demo video at: www.velocitek.com/video/VCC_3-0_Demo/VCC_3-0_Demo.htm

Velocitek will also offer users the opportunity to publish their race or training sessions online, so anyone can watch and comment on the action. All sailors need to do is submit their replay track files via email and Velocitek does the rest, compiling and publishing the tracks online at their race replay forum.

In conjunction with the release of the Control Center with Race Replay, Velocitek has also introduced the “Fleet Pack”, which includes a bundle of five Velocitek SC-1 devices, mounting hardware, a USB hub and Version 3.0 of the Velocitek Control Center. Available at http://www.velocitek.com/products.php#fp , it is priced at just $1950. “The Velocitek 'Fleet Pack' and Velocitek Control Center 3.0 provides groups of sailors the opportunity to not only evaluate their individual performance on the water but to compare it with other boats in their fleet once they get back to shore,” concluded Stewart.
