Where technology meets one-design foiling

WASZP and Vakaros have partnered to bring world-class race management technology and on-board performance instruments to the WASZP fleet worldwide. From precise starting systems to live race tracking, Vakaros is elevating the racing experience both on and off the water.

What is Vakaros?

Vakaros is the industry leader in digital race management and performance instrumentation for modern sailing. Their RaceSense system is transforming how races are run and how sailors compete—bringing unprecedented accuracy, fairness, and real-time data to the racecourse.

RaceSense creates a connected racing ecosystem using advanced GNSS technology. Here’s what it delivers:

OCS Detection:

No more waiting for slow hails or inaccurate OCS calls. Competitors are notified milliseconds after the gun if they’re over the line—giving you instant feedback to restart and get back into the race.

Live Distance to Line:

Forget pinging the line. Each Atlas 2 unit receives the live position of both ends of the start line. When marks swing or anchor lines stretch, your DTL updates automatically—giving you accurate, real-time starting data you can trust.

Live Tracking

Every RaceSense event includes live tracking at no additional cost. Boats report their positions to nodes around the racecourse, uploading data to Vakaros’s proprietary viewer. Watch races live, review your performance afterward, or share the action with supporters.

Train Better. Start Better. Race Better

Built for Faster, Fairer Racing

From training sessions to championship racing, Vakaros gives WASZP sailors and organisers the tools to raise the standard of racing and performance.

Designed for One-Design Foiling

WASZP racing happens at high speed, with tight fleets and small margins. Atlas 2 gives sailors real performance advantages through accurate, repeatable data – including distance-to-start-line awareness, better start timing, and clearer positioning on the line.

It also supports higher-quality training, with key data and metrics you can review after each session to track progress, validate setup changes, and improve consistency.

RaceSense at WASZP Events

Through the WASZP x Vakaros partnership, National Class Associations can access RaceSense RC kits to support modern race management at major WASZP regattas worldwide.

That means more consistent starting lines, clearer OCS calls, and transparent results – delivering a better experience for sailors, race committees, and event organisers.
