Charleston/Mt. Pleasant, SC - Competitors racing on Circle 2 at Charleston Race Week at Patriot's Point will once again operate under the Vakaros RaceSense System, providing automated starting accuracy and enhanced race management across the course.
Circle 2 race management is offering an early check-in option via a WhatsApp group, allowing teams to verify their devices ahead of time.
All competing J/70s, Melges 24s, and VX One fleets are strongly encouraged to complete their device check-in before arriving at the venue to help ensure a smooth and efficient start to racing.
HOW TO CHECK IN:
Use the WhatsApp QR code as seen on this page or visit Yacht Scoring online to join the group and submit the following information:
• Skipper first and last name

• A photo of either — Your Vakaros boot-up screen, or Vakaros Connect app
Once submitted, race management will be able to confirm your device ahead of the event.
