Challenge your neighbour!

The application developed by Eric Bernillon and Nicolas Bürki, two sailing enthusiasts based in Antibes, is great. It is aimed at both regatta enthusiasts and all other sailors. Its principle is to challenge one's opponents, one's pontoon neighbours, or even to challenge oneself on a personalised course. The application allows you to virtually create a course with a start and finish line. Once launched, it records your time and transmits your time to your friends who will have had the opportunity to follow you on the map during your "run". A chat room integrated into the application even allows you to encourage each other or put pressure on anyone who dares to take up your challenge! Nothing prevents you from improving your own time, on a banana run or towards your favourite anchorage! As for the hardcore competitors, their ranking will be able to take into account the length of the boat, the rating (HN or IRC) and at the end of the course, the application will display the average speed, max, distance covered, etc. A clever tool on the eve of the autumn training sessions. www.sailing-challenge.com 25€.
