I assume you are talking about a sailing regatta? If so you really
need more than GPS data for a comprehensive analysis. I'd also want
wind speed, wind angle, boat heading and boat speed through the water
just for starters. All of that can be logged out and replayed using
some of the more sophisticated instrumentation systems, and you can
use it to cerate your own polar diagrams, target speed charts, etc.

And if you don't have one of those sophisticated instrument systems,
my cpRepeater program exports all that and more in a simple table
easily read into a spreadsheet or database. That's the simple part.
The fun part is the analysis.

To reply, lose the capitals and do the obvious.

Take a look at cpRepeater, my NMEA data integrator, repeater, and
