A Norwegian sailing club developer presents Kapp, a prototype regatta-tracking app designed to replace costly manual finish-line recording and expensive transponder rentals at club-level Wednesday races.0:14 The core concept combines AIS signals — sourced via an agreement with Kystverket, which confirmed AIS data can be released under GDPR compliance — with mobile GPS as a fallback, polling the phone every five seconds during racing and adjusting frequency dynamically to preserve battery.2:56 When either signal drops, vector interpolation algorithms estimate boat position based on last-known speed and heading, maintaining a continuous track through to the finish.4:21 Course setup uses drag-and-drop mark placement with fixed start lines, and Navionics has confirmed open API access for chart integration.5:13 Rating system APIs are also available for automatic handicap scoring, with results published instantly at finish.11:32 The project is at concept stage with a zero budget; the presenter is seeking sailing club partners and developers to form a working group, targeting a go/no-go decision by end of January 2025 for a 2026 season launch.12:10 The key argument: data costs for AIS and mobile GPS are negligible compared to satellite-based commercial systems, making a low-cost club solution technically achievable with existing infrastructure.8:19
