The US Snipe Class requested and was granted a waiver to Snipe Class rule 5.1 [Editor’s note: C.5.1] which governs allowable electronics. This is the second test of such a system. The test report for the first test is located here. As noted in the request, only a limited set of device functions would be enabled. The Vakaros system is configurable and supports the concept of “profiles” that enable only a specific set of functions. The Snipe Class requested a profile that contains only these functions:

  • Heading
  • Timer
  • OCS notification (yes/no) at the start

In addition, it was requested that we survey competitors about their experience and report the results. This document satisfies this requirement.
