Kattack race viewer available for all CYC races

For the entire CYC 2008 racing season, it will be possible to track and view your boat performance using the Kattack Race Player software.

Thanks to North Sails for setting up the Kattack system.

Kattack setup is very easy and is clearly explained in the attached documents. Essentially, you just need a hand help GPS (Garmin is preferred, but any GPS will work, provided you have an UBS connection or the serial cable). You also need to install on your computer the Kattack Race Player that can be downloaded free from www.kattack.com.

These are the main steps for using Kattack:

1. Turn on your GPS before the start of the race
2. Let it run during the race
3. Download the data after the race as a .gpx file
4. E-mail the downloaded track file to North Sail. See the attached “Kattack Instructions” document for information on downloading and e-mail tracks.
5. Connect to the www.kattack.com site with the Kattack software
6. Replay and view the race and see where you gained or lost.

Please refer to the accompanying documents for more detailed information on set-up, data download and use of the Kattack software: Kattack Instructions and Katttack Setup

You can test the Kattack race player and view the races upload so far by following the following steps:

1. Download Kattack race player software from www.kattack.com
2. Install and launch it
3. Select: “North Sail Seattle” under the “My Races” tab
4. You will see the available race on the right hand panel.
5. Select your class or view the overall race.
6. View the replay of the race.

Hope you enjoy Kattack.
