Tracker
Also called: Balise de positionnement, cartographie, classement de position, pointage, position report, suivi
A beacon that regularly sends the boat's position, shown on the race map.
Each boat carries an independent beacon sending its position at regular intervals. Organisers use it for the race map and the position reports published several times a day. Some positions are hidden for a while (stealth mode) when the rules allow.
