Post-Race Analysis
Once a tracking session has ended, eStela offers tools to help you analyze the race and review boat performance in detail. These tools are especially useful for debriefs, race committee reports, and team feedback.
Time Table
Each tracking session includes a Time Table that shows all mark crossings by each boat in a structured table format.
You can:
View times as:
Absolute time
Delta time (compared to the first boat)
Elapsed time (since start)
Print the table or download it as a CSV for further analysis or archiving.
Boat’s Performance and Leg Analysis
From the Time Table, you can access:
Boat’s Performance – shows performance metrics per boat, grouped by leg
Leg Analysis – compares all boats on the same leg
These views include data such as:
Distance sailed
Average VMG (Velocity Made Good)
Efficiency ratio, calculated as: Average VMG / Average Speed
These metrics give a clear picture of how efficiently each boat sailed through different sections of the course.
What’s Required for Analysis
To generate accurate post-race insights, make sure your session meets the following:
At least one boat tracked
A complete course configuration This is essential to detect buoy roundings. After the session, you can fine-tune buoy positions based on the recorded tracks.
A valid race start time
At least one wind data entry
Without these elements, timing and performance calculations may be incomplete or unavailable.
