Skills & Confidence
Racing builds boat handling skills. Often, the difference between 'a good day' and 'a bad one' is a couple of sharp tacks or mark roundings. |
Many ODC members now use raceQs ... a boat tracking system specifically designed for sailboat racing. It utilizes a GPS based, tracking technology to capture individual boat movement for later online based 3D replay. It's an incredible tool to analyze actual, 'real world' race tracks...and to compare performance to other boats/teams you know.

ODC has members who are factory trained on this incredible system. Seminars and subsequent one-on-one training is free to ODC members.
RaceQs technology allows club level sailors to review their race performance and to pinpoint areas for improvement.
Oriental Dinghy Club races are officiated by some of the best race officers in eastern NC.
