The Helmsman: BMW ORACLE Racing

The Navigator:
BMW ORACLE RACING

Peter Isler: Navigator, BMW ORACLE RacingThis is the third in a series of videos describing the roles of crewmembers aboard the BMW ORACLE America's Cup Racing Yacht.

 

The Navigator: BMW ORACLE America's CupIn this episode, we hear from another member of the Afterguard, Peter Isler, the boat's Navigator. Peter helped win the America's Cup as navigator aboard Dennis Conner's Stars & Stripes in 1987 and 1988. He's competed in every America's Cup since. The Navigator's primary job is track the yacht's course using the on-board computer. Linked into Global Positioning Satellites (GPS), the computer constantly updates the boat's position in relation to the course and its opponent. The navigator queries the computer using a wireless, hand-held tablet and interacts with the Helmsman, Tactician, and Strategist to keep the yacht racing as efficiently as possible.
