The Ocean Race plugin

julien.hatin

I am thinking taht a plugin for The Ocean Race (https://www.theoceanrace.com/fr/home)
would be great.

We can reuse the plugin we have done for the Route du rhum and maybe adapt it to follow more sailing races.

Is it of any interest?

I think you should contact Kevin Saliou who developed this plugin.

The Vendee Globe Plugin was perfect. I just can´t remember who made it. I would love, if we could have the same for OceanRace.

@julien-hatin How is the progress with the Ocean Race plugin? The official tracker for the Ocean Race plugin is very inaccurate.
