I wonder if you could do somthing like this with a windsurfer?

This software is so cool especially if you race or are planning to. You can see the realtime tactics the skippers use.

Here's a screenshot. I turned on all the detail so it normally doesn't look this cluttered. The "Views" and "Displays" windows roll back and the
"Instruments" display can be toggled on and off. It's hot! If you are a real die hard, you can spend 25 bucks and watch the rest of the races live on your computer.
