Title: TackTick or Velocitek ProStart?
Post by: Trink on December 26, 2011, 10:34:08 PM
The ProStart seems to offer a lot more functionality for a bit more money, does anyone have any experience with them? I'm going to be racing a J/22 this year, are there any class rules that would keep me from using it?

I don't think I need to ask for opinions in this forum but I will anyway...

Tacktick micro compass is legal.  Velocitek is not class legal.

One can exactly duplicate the function of the Velocitek with a decent marine handheld GPS.  I'd go with the Tacktick.  If gives you upwind lifted and headed indications in a really neat visual form.
