If you're following this year's PIC Coastal Classic from on shore, we're sure you'll be rapt to hear that for the first time ever, you'll be able to watch the start of the race LIVE online at www.coastalclassic.co.nz!
Thanks to the generous support of our title sponsors PIC Insurance Brokers, live streaming coverage of the race start will be broadcast on the website. So whether you're in Waitakere, Wellington, Westport or even halfway round the world in Wales, you can see all the action as it happens, from your computer, tablet or smartphone.
With the talented team at Live Sail Die behind the cameras, we're sure the live coverage of this year's race will make for awesome viewing, so if you're not on the water, we hope you'll tune in from around 9am on race day, Friday 23rd October.
And when the fleet disappears from view, you can still follow the fleet all the way to Russell, thanks to the innovative PredictWind Tracker app.
The PredictWind Tracker is a smartphone-based GPS tracking app that sends out a signal from each boat throughout the race. Each boat's signal is displayed on a real-time race map that supporters can check into on the website, to see the position, speed and heading of every boat taking part.
So no matter where you are in the world, you can follow all the action from the 2015 PIC Coastal Classic in more ways than ever before. We hope you enjoy this year's race as much as we know we will! See you on the start line, on the shore, or online at www.coastalclassic.co.nz.
