Regatta Sets Optimal Courses for 1,000 Boats With Pioneering Use of Visual Technology
Overview Skandia Cowes Week Regatta - one of the largest competitions of its type in the world - set its sailing courses using pins and string on a wall-mounted chart of the waters, as it had for most of its 180 years. So, the regatta's organizer became one of the first organizations anywhere to use a software solution created with Windows Presentation Foundation, which helps developers build highly visual solutions quickly and effectively. With Presentation Foundation, software partner SiSoft created the solution's rendering engine in days rather than the months that it took to create an earlier course-setting solution. The code base was cut by 36 percent while the solution became more useful and powerful, and participants are delighted the courses that organizers can now create.
