Title: Vakaros
Post by: Neil Treads on February 25, 2023, 03:37:47 PM

I have the Vakaros Atlas 2 to potentially use on my boat. Is it allowed in class? If not how do you police the latest generation of Garmin watches?

Thanks

I have the same instrument.  I only use heading and speed.

This is what the class rules state:


12. The following devices and electronic instruments are permitted while racing:
 • Mechanical masthead wind direction sensing devices such as the Windex®.
 • Devices to measure speed, distance and water depth.
Rules of the Ultimate 20 Class Association December 19, 2020 Page 10
 • All types of compasses, including the Tacktick® and other electronic compasses.
 • VHF radios.
 • GPS based devices may be used only to measure speed and indicate heading, and marking (pinging)
the starting line during One Design class racing. Fully functioning GPS based devices may be used for all
other types of racing

Those are the rules!  The Board is taking feedback on changes all the time if anyone feels they need a tweak.
