Speeds are in knots; bearings are true. Boat speed (SOG) and course (COG) are estimated between recorded fixes. Relative angles are measured from the boat’s course toward port or starboard. Apparent wind uses the modeled wind and boat motion. Boat-dependent values are unavailable after the last fix.
Arrows point downwind; longer arrows mean stronger wind. The orange line is Maverick’s recorded track. The dot interpolates between archived positions.
Wind is the nearest hourly 10 m analysis, sampled on a 0.12° × 0.16° grid. It shows modeled historical conditions, not onboard measurements or the forecast the crew saw.

Yellowbrick race tracker: Archived Yellowbrick track, simplified to 0.12 nautical miles with at most 45 minutes between retained positions. Playback interpolates between retained positions; the final recorded fix is 17 seconds before the official finish.
NOAA HRRR archive: Historical hourly HRRR f00 analyses resampled onto the committed 0.12° × 0.16° research grid. This is modeled wind, not onboard observations or the forecast available to the crew. Arrows use the nearest hourly analysis without temporal interpolation.
