Gràcies!! No sé muy bien como deben de controlar que eso sea así o lo dejan en función de la ética deportiva de cada cual.

"The navigation electronics or computing assistants are forbidden on board...".
Tampoco llevan GPS? Ni programas de navegación? van con sextante y estimas?.

Pues me sé de uno que de ser así ha perdido una buena cuota de mercado con su próximo exitoso soft para regatas...
