How Does PowerView Answer the Vespoli Challenge?

Vespoli, USA, the largest and most successful boat builder in the US has just issued a "Boat Speed Challenge" on their website--and they are using the PowerView System.
With Powerview units aboard, Vespoli can go far beyond the tradition "demo row" and let coaches skip the annual ritual of asking the crew "which boat did you like better?" or "did that boat feel fast?"
Instead, the
PowerView data Vespoli can collect will allow coaches coaches to ask, and answer, the two questions they really care about when it come to selecting a hull: Is it fast? and Is it right for my crew?

Thanks to PowerView, both Vespoli and the coaches who take the Challenge now have a way to KNOW the answers to those questions--and the PowerView unit allows them to find those answers in a single practice session.

Is it fast?
Splits can tell you about PART of the boat's speed, but PowerView goes beyond simple speed measurement. The system captures GPS position and exacting measurements of check and acceleration in three dimensions. The result? A synchronized look at MORE than the splits, and a glimpse at how the boat is moving to create that speed on the drive. Coaches can see how set and acceleration on the drive in differently shaped and sized hulls affects the speed numbers they get everyday--and see how each hull design runs on the recovery to hold that speed.

Is it right for my crew?
Your next hull is a big investment for any size program--and a decision you'll have to train with everyday. While you can know your crew's power and the splits they can hit at race pace, PowerView's accelerometers gauge precisely how your crew picks up the shell on the drive, and how their movements on the recovery in a given hull work to maintain that speed. Do you know how the crew interacts with shell to hit a given split? PowerView can show you--and then you can pick the boat that optimizes how your crew rows.

Vespoli, USA, has been building winning designs for thirty years, and rigorously testing every design. When they heard about PowerView, they knew it was the ultimate tool to measure boats and how fast they really are. The proof? Vespoli tested PowerView, and they were sold on the system after just one row.

We think you will be, too. Take Vespoli up on the Boat Speed Challenge, and see what PowerView can do for your crew.
