Tracking my sailboat?
How does Yachtpals track the locations of boats. Do the owners have to log on and enter their new locations, or do their electronics update Yachtpals automotically with GPS Tracking? Richard |

As many of you have read here and elsewhere, we lost two San Francisco sailors during last weekend's Lightship Race.
