Clasele de vase cu o singură proiectare se bazează pe reglementări ale echipamentului pentru a menține fokusul pe marinar mai degrabă decât pe barcă, iar conducerea acestor clase este istoricește conservatoare în ceea ce privește modificările care ar putea crește costurile de competiție. Cu toate acestea, apariția sistemelor electronice de start, cum ar fi RaceSense dezvoltat de Vakaros în 2018, testează tradițiile și bugetele, cerând achizițiile de echipament atât pentru comitetele de curse, cât și pentru fiecare participant. Această inovație a schimbat cursa cu o singură proiectare, dar antrenori și competitori de elită, cum ar fi Andrew Palfrey, dezbat dacă beneficiile tehnologice justifică costurile suplimentare impuse claselor.
Conținut original (extras automat)
One design classes rely on equipment regulations to keep the emphasis on the sailor rather than the boat. Class leadership is historically conservative when making changes to these rules, particularly when it will increase the cost to compete.
However, the emergence of electronic starting systems is testing precedent and pocketbook. To use an automated race management system - which detects early starters and notifies both competitor and race committee - requires a bite on the bank account.
Founded in 2018, Vakaros has developed the RaceSense starting system along with instruments that can also provide extensive performance data to drill. It is not a stretch to say this has changed one design racing, but it does require the race committee and every entrant to buy their gear.
Elite coach and competitor Andrew Palfrey shared his opinion on this topic to an Etchells UK group chat which is also posted on the Scuttlebutt website.
