LionIsland 55 #335 Posted April 23 Interesting enough ”front page” article written by “anarchist David” on the use of, compliance with rules and ethics etc of drone use in boat racing. David, small point, I know, but may I put it to you that there’s a pretty good chance that a drone operator may, in fact, buy several batteries to avoid flytime downtime while waiting for a battery recharge.

He also forgets that the drones will be subject to CASA rules. He also forgets or doesn't understand that the average drones have camera's with a very wide FOV. As for the tack/sails etc. I'm sure that can be figured out with a good set of binoculars. I suspect that the updates to the SI's for drones will be about taking a leaf out of the VOR book and having a OBR on some maxis. About time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what current Casa rules one breaks offshore unless flying over or near a competitor’s boat. But it’d be really really crappo to get it tangled up with a chopper or plane or a military fighter doing a low pass at Mach 3 which they often do around here. Not much warning with those things Mind you, even flying from one’s own boat (unless solo) you’d probably be breaking “flying close to people” rules. Gawd knows they’re hard to launch and retrieve from boats at sea and if you’re crew member gets whacked on the head with one they’d know about it (or maybe not). Bloody amazing tech.

Recidivist 146 #367 Posted May 13 Sorry to drag the thread back to drones, but many years ago I was doing a spot of work in Whyalla - needed to hitch a ride back to Adelaide for the Lincoln race starting that evening. I was lucky enough to get a ride in a Cessna, and as we flew across St Vincent Gulf it was obvious it was glass all over. I mentioned to the pilot/owner what my interest was, and he was kind enough to fly to the south of the gulf so I could see what the wind was doing down there. End result was that I stepped on board, advised the skipper what I had seen, and we hugged the eastern coast all the way until the bottom of the gulf, crossing where there was some wind. The rest of the fleet languished in the middle of the windless gulf 30 miles back, and we won by about a week! Think about drone technology in this situation ... it will be like the tuna spotters! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
