Boats equipped with the d10 digital tactical instrument from Irish start-up Racegeek finished first and tenth at the UK J/70 National Championships at the weekend. The winning team fitted the d10 to their new boat the day before the National Championships and went straight out onto the race course to win the title.

Mark Lees, owner and helm of the new national champions, said "It was a really competitive event and we only pulled clear with a good final day. I bought a d10 because it just made sense to have a single unit. It's a nice bit of kit. We took it straight out and got it working no problem. We only put the boat together and decided to do the nationals a couple of days before so we’re looking forward to exploring the more in-depth functionality. There are some cool features we haven’t touched yet."
