Tracker Details

[jakmang]

Looking at the new tracker. Wondering the details on reporting times and display times? The boats don't update that often right now. Can't see Elizabeth Ann and a few others.

Thanks,

Nominally racers are instructed to set them to report every 4 hours. But they are under racer control, and some racers (e.g. Kynntana) have theirs set to what appears to be 15 minutes. It's a matter of how much attention they are willing to give to keeping the unit charged. Mouton Noirs current position report is exactly 4 hours old as I type, he is conserving power I guess.

At the moment, I see IRIS is missing from the tracker. Probably a Jibset hiccup. I've seen masses of boats vanish one day and reappear the next when reviewing the 2016 tracker. Don't worry, they haven't sunk, probably.

Don't worry, they haven't sunk, probably.

and if they have sunk they should wash in with the flood

What happened to Gregory (LIBRA)? The tracker shows him almost back to the Corinthian YC at 15:50.

OWL is doing quite well. Go the OWL!

I bet IRIS is a tracker equipment or data connection issue. Like maybe he didn't turn it on.

Don't forget to hit the WIND DISPLAY button at the top of the full tracker page at Jibeset. Trippy.

Charley Casey looks like he's doing great on Riff Rider!
I'm really proud to be part of his crew bringing the boat back home!

It appears Mouton Noir is heading back. Per Marine Traffic (AIS), at 2120 he was on a heading of 50 degrees at 2.9 knots.

Mouton Noir is confirmed eastbound from the latest tracker updates.
It appears that most of the fleet has parked up over the last few hours with the arrival of the dreaded Southerly Surge.
Riff Rider may be the only one still in the gradient breeze, at least for the time being.

Mouton Noir is at Marina Village, Alameda, per AIS this morning. Bummer. Hope he is OK.

Elizabeth Ann is heading for Bodega Bay. Strange.

Elizabeth Ann is heading for Bodega Bay. Strange.

Gary might be going home to Oregon. With his experience sailing up the coast is probably a walk in the park.

 

[DaveH]

Not to mention riding the southerly while it is there.
Gary officially retired and reported that he planned to head for Bodega Bay.

Can the Race Committee comment on IRIS's non-presence on the tracker?

And if racers retire, will they be announcing it anywhere?

 

[DaveH]

IRIS is now on the tracker, he had checked in via radio & email, but had issues with the Tracker settings. Now displaying.

Retirements have been posted for MOUTON NOIR, ELIZABETH ANN & LIBRA on the event site, Jibeset, and now here.
also note the RC Notes tab on the tracker detail page, which holds a log of RC notes regarding the display.

Fair point, however, I will start an RC Updates thread.

Are position reports being published?

Is there a way to obtain position reports for a competitor? The tracker doesn't seem to support past position reports, at least not that I could find, and the SHTP web site for 'position reports' doesn't have position reports.

For example, I can select Kynntana and see the track, but not individual position reports.

Is there a way to obtain the lat/lon course/speed information from an individual tracker?
