Hello,
I've done a few races as a navigator. But I think my preparation could be better.
Does anyone have a sample of a roadbook for an offshore race? What to include, what is too much.
The boat is a GP42
Thanks and cheers.

Mark's iist is about right, if pretty overwhelming and one helluva big bite at one gulp, especially on a new ship and/or with a new crew. Look around the crew for support with some of the less core items - where core is determined by your boat, owners, raceing, crew and priorities. Can someone else take on the NOR and SIs etc? Someone else can do the watches, just don't be on one. Can instrument recalibration, polars, crossovers wait until your 4th or 6th outing, when you'll know how good or bad it is ..... crew will tell you willingly enough if they think it is shit. Break the elephant into lumps you - and your crew - can chew on.
