There is also all sorts of reporting going on by several teams, Sailing Anarchy, and Rick White of the "other cat site".

This GPS tracking is cool. You can see their recent average speeds, and how fast they went during a given period of time. Very interesting capabilities.

The SPOT units they are using are great. they cost only 150 plus service ($12/month)

you set up who's email gets your communication (and track)
