RaceQs 3D race tracking and analysis appTo sail fast, we should learn from our mistakes and gain experience.  Sailboat racing is fun and consistent performance improvement enables you to sail more competitively; perhaps even winning a race! The beauty of this sport is that you can always get better.

Boat owners spend “mucho dinero” each year on sails, electronics and boat improvements in their search for that elusive “edge”. But, they often neglect to address the most critical factors: efficient boat handling, winning tactics, and cohesive crew work.

RaceQs is a set of technology products designed to improve on the “human factor”, while sharing the joy of sailboat racing among the crew, club mates and competitors.

RaceQs.com interview- Allan Terhune- Quantum SailsHere is a good example.  Allan Terhune takes us through a recent race aboard his J/70 "Dazzler". He walks us through his tactics and gives some trim tips for the J/70. Allan Terhune is a National and World champion in several classes, and is the Global One Design Director for Quantum Sails. http://raceqs.com/podcast/28-racing-the-j70-with-allan-terhune/

Recent events tracked with RaceQs.com were the J/22 Midwinters, the Quantum J/70 Winter Series and, soon, the Russian J/80 Spring Championship on Lake Garda, Italy in two weeks.  Also, the J/105 class has adopted use of RaceQs, starting with Seattle fleet and followed by Toronto, San Francisco and San Diego.  Get on board now and setup your J/Class event for race-tracking and fun post-race analysis- - it’s always humbling (and a learning experience) to hear one of your top competitors explain a bad race or “not so worthy” tactical moves.  For more RaceQs.com information and App download.
