The new RaceBOX gives the competitive advantage of Nexus race software
in an affordable, compact and robust package. Interfacing with Nexus
instruments via the Nexus Network, the RaceBOX provides sailors with a
plethora of analytical information to existing Nexus instruments. A
micro-processor facilitates processing abilities that were previously only
available with a stand-alone computer.
Replacing a fragile onboard computer, the racer can now load polar
diagrams directly into the processor from a SD card or USB. Calculations
of Polar or Target Boat Speed are then displayed by Nexus instruments
where they are most useful – on deck. Coupled with GPS it will also give
time-to-burn and line bias on the start. Furthermore the RaceBOX records
data to the memory cards that can be easily removed for post-race download
and analysis.
Dean Barker, America’s Cup skipper and co-owner of Nexus, comments
"The RaceBOX gives tactical tools to the recreational club racer that
have in the past been an exclusive reserve of the grand prix or luxury
yacht. It is light and easy to integrate; the Nexus RaceBOX will give you
the competitive edge for a fraction of the price of a laptop or a stand-alone
start line timer."
