> Does anybody know of any online calculators for kayaking or sailing?? > I like to add the to the calculator.com directories. There is a thing called 'SpeedCoach' made by Nielsen Kellerman (a Yank company that also makes a neat looking water-proof impellor-based pocket digital anemometer). It seems to be aimed at those interested in serous competetive training. It has a smaller impellor that attaches to the underside of the hull with self-adhesive, a tilt switch for kayak paddles, and a signal transmission system that picks up info from the impellor and displays it on a deck-mounted LC display. The canoe and rowing versions can pick up cadence from changes in boat speed and do not need the tilt switch. The display includes elapsed time, split times, cadence, speed through the water (in a variety of units), pace (time for 500m), and verages at up to 25 checkpoints, and so on. In Australia that cost c. $450 and might be less than $US300. I have almost worked up the courage to buy one... but my 14 year old son will probably steal it on the grounds that he can paddle faster than me... -- jim *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Mar 30 1998 - 15:52:09 PST
