SC-1

Overview

The SC-1 was recently used by Chris Larson to win the 2009 Melges 24 Worlds and by Jeremy Wilmot (Bliksem Tactician) to win the 2009 Melges 32 Worlds. This product is for hard-core racers who are looking for an edge on the competition.

Whether it is giving you a jump on the fleet with sag-busting distance to line measurements or helping you find favorable current with accurate SOG measurements, the SC-1 gives you the instantaneous feedback you need to win.

When you buy an SC-1 it comes out of the box as an idiot-proof Compass and Speedometer. Our free Velocitek Control Center application allows you to connect your SC-1 to a Windows PC and enable the SC-1's advanced modes, such as VMG and Distance to Line. With Velocitek Control Center you can also download GPS data from your SC-1 and launch single boat replays with GPS Action Replay.

With Velocitek SpeedPlay (sold separately) you can easily download GPS data from a group of SC-1s and launch virtual video replays of your races and training sessions, overlaid on a Microsoft Virtual Earth map background.
