|
Race replays are a great way to get inside the heads of the best sailors in your class. Compare your speed and height against the race leaders and and find out the most important skills to work on. Study tactics - you can see what the leaders do!
As well as providing tools for people to track their own racing, Clubs may publish races and regattas to the TackTracker server. Most of these races are free for anyone to play. We offer three ways to view race replays:
Option 1: The standalone player, which you can freely download and install from tacktracker.com/web/download offers the best performance and analysis capability. We have standalone players for both the PC and Mac. They can be used to play online races and your own tracks as well. A race editor license is needed to define races and build your own race library.
Option 2: The in-browser web player. Click on the Races Tab above, or go directly to tacktracker.com/web/races. The Web Player works on both Windows and Mac PCs. It uses Microsoft's Silverlight plug-in and you must install it if prompted.
Option 3: The iPhone and iPad player is a free app for your iPhone or iPad, available from the Apple App Store.
Pay for view races
Most races are available for free, but some regattas are require payment to access. These races may only be viewed with the standalone players. You can purchase viewing rights for individual races, or purchase the entire regatta worth of races. If payment is required, the prices are displayed.
