SC-1 Overview

The SC-1, recently used to win both the Moth Worlds and the Melges 24 North Americans, is for hard-core racers who are looking for an edge on the competition.  Whether it is providing accurate VMG feedback to help you get the most out of your boat or helping you get a jump on the fleet with sag-busting distance to line measurements, the SC-1 gives you the instantaneous feedback you need to win.
When you buy an SC-1 it comes out of the box as an idiot-proof Compass and Speedometer. If you want more functionality, you can download and install our free Control Center Windows application. Control Center allows you to enable the SC-1's advanced modes and download GPS data from your SC-1.
With SpeedPlay (sold separately) you can easily download GPS data from a group of SC-1s and launch virtual video replays of your races and training sessions, overlaid on a Microsoft Virtual Earth map background.

Software

There are two software packages, Control Center and SpeedPlay, available from Velocitek which allow you to download GPS data, customize device functionality and update firmware. Control Center is the basic free software which lets you customize your SC-1 and download single-boat tracks. SpeedPlay is a more powerful tool which lets you download and replay GPS data from up to 21 Velocitek devices at a time.
When you order your SC-1 we will give you access to a free trial of the SpeedPlay and the Free Down load of the Velocitek Control Center
