TIMEZERO\u2019s software will be used by race skippers and crew to assist them in finding the fastest routes during the race<\/p>\n
TIMEZERO by MaxSea has been named as official navigation software for the Clipper 2017-18 Round the World Yacht Race for the second year running.<\/p>\n
TIMEZERO\u2019s software provides weather routing for offshore racing and will be used by race skippers and crew to assist them in finding the fastest routes during the race and to monitor the progress and distance covered by other competitors.<\/p>\n
Clipper race founder and chairman, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, said: \u201cWe are pleased to announce that all the fleet will be equipped with the latest TIMEZERO by MaxSea software. This will enable the boats to download the weather forecasts and then calculate the best choice of routes from that advanced information. Having used TIMEZERO by MaxSea myself I know how invaluable it is and frankly it is not possible to race effectively these days without it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The TIMEZERO technology integrates a chart engine where electronic marine charts, 3D data and satellite photos are mixed through photofusion technology.<\/p>\n
The 11-month race will cover 40,000 nautical miles, beginning on 20 August this year and finishing on 28 July 2018.<\/p>\n
