2012 OPA Officlal GPS Unit

[Lucididee]

​We have been working very hard at making sure we have the latest in technology for reading speeds for breakouts in our 5 official OPA GPS classes. These classes are Class 100 to Class 600. (Excluding SuperVee's) In these 5 classes that OPA runs today, we are making sure that everyone understands the rules of engagement with GPS units. It is the racers responsibility to make sure that the ATTI GPS unit is working properly at all times. We are allowing a second GPS as a backup in case your PRIMARY unit fails. It is the OPA's discression to examine a boat when it comes out of the water after the race to inspect what was initially setup before you hit the water at the begining of the race. Anyone deciding to not get that check if OPA has decided your boat is in question will be given last place with last place points. So please be careful and pay attention if Race Control asks you to remain in the water for inspections. Now, on to the new GPS units that are available and what you can expect this year with regards to GPS'.
​
There is a new WIRELESS GPS unit available that the OPA officials have decided to use moving forward this year and the following years. We do expect anyone that is currently purchasing a new GPS unit to buy the new wireless one. We do understand that the economy is not the best right now so OPA has decided to use the J2 tracking unit as a backup only. Anyone that currently owns a J2 tracking unit will be grandfathered in. The J2 is no longer available through ATTI for OPA use. The cost of the new wireless unit is $425 which includes the Premier Tracking unit, GPS antenna, and the ignition wiring cable harness. The model number of this unit is STPremier. You will also need to put this unit into a pelican box that can be permanently mounted to your boat. See the cost below for the foam insert needed, and the clear lid for GPS visibility.
​
GPS units will not be allowed to be moved from boat to boat. You will have the option to buy a Premier unit from the Official for OPA GPS units at the site for a cost of $500. So please make sure you have your unit serialized with the OPA Official. Listed below are the websites for the GPS units and the Pelican boxes, the cost of the GPS units, and the cost of the pieces individually if you need just a part.
