Great in places but buggy website a real letdown
I tested this app out over 4 weeks before asking if the rest of the fleet might want to join me using it. We race one-designs twice on Sundays, usually 3 laps round the cans on our Broad (lake). Each race lasts about 60 mins.
I found the app tracks the boat well and the preset start time means I can 'stow and forget'. The correlation with google Earth is impressive. However, the website is really buggy and I can't get nearly as much analysis that is promised by the podcasts.
Problems include:
Pitch and heel won't work despite numerous recalibrations.
Can't edit race properly on the same day because timeline messed up.
Can't enter laps on website.
Can't enter two races on the same day without previous race course being deleted.
Can't upload two tracks on the same day to website.
Auto detect of tacks and gybes really hit and miss...
Ultimately, I remain disappointed with the app as it doesn't deliver half of what was promised and frustrated with the company who have yet to answer any of my support enquiries.
At present I can't recommend this to the rest of the fleet and, frankly, I can think of better ways to spend my Sunday afternoons.
Race Q at the etchells Europeans
The ease of recording and sending data works so well we were able to get tracks from many boats at the Etchells Europeans - the access to replay race by race is also easy - features in the software have helped analyse our performance. So far so fantastic.
Excellent tool for racing sailors
Great software and system to help analyse your sail races. Link it with a video from your gopro or equivalent and the results are unprecedented. Great fun to record your races and spend time later looking at how you did. Can't praise it high enough. Check out the video podcasts too as they have some great tips on tactics and on how to make the best of the software .
RaceQs is great
This app is a great. It is reliable and easy to use. We tried replaying races on Google Earth a year or so ago but this takes the hassle away from loading gpx tracks into Google Earth and provides much more besides. It is specifically designed for sailors and racing. There are also lots of features which will also help us get more people to use it. There are a few gaps but when these are filled we expect an even better take up in our club. Some cruisers and racer cruiser are also now using the app to keep a online log of where they have been recently.
