Velocitek SC-1

Overview

The SC-1 is for the sailor looking for a edge in competition, whether it is knowing your speed and heading at all times or getting a distance to startline to get a head start on your competitors.  Knowing speed and heading can allow you to quantify your rigging, currents, trim angles, etc... all key to improving your sailing performance every session.

When you buy an SC-1 it comes out of the box as an idiot-proof Compass and Speedometer. If you want more functionality, you can download and install our free Velocitek Control Center Windows application. Velocitek Control Center allows you to enable the SC-1's advanced modes and download GPS data from your SC-1.

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