Guide to Using the Race Tracker

For the majority of the race, the trackers ping at the turn of the hour for each boat. The positions are revealed on a 4-hour delay on the main Race Tracker to keep each boat's strategy a bit of a mystery to the competition during the race. As the boats approach Hawaii and are within 100nm of the finish, the tracker removes the delay and shows the realtime position for each ping. Additionally, we've ask YB Tracking to have the positions update every 10 minutes when the boats are within 100nm of the finish.
