ππ A World First β Alcon Marks at the 5.5 Metre World Championship, Lavrion!
This week, Alcon Marks reached a landmark milestone: for the first time ever, its robotic buoys and a full race management platform were deployed at a Sailing World Championship.
Conditions were unforgiving β 25+ knot winds and steep seas in the opening days, followed by lighter but constantly shifting breeze that demanded continuous course adjustments. The system handled it all, delivering precise course geometry and swift, accurate mark repositioning throughout the entire championship.
The verdict from international race officers? Enthusiastic. The technology impressed β and performed exactly when and where it mattered most.
From Greek waters to the world stage. π¬π·β΅
