Option 1. On the committee boat or at the starting hut

• Doing it alongside the race team is an efficient option if the race officer is happy, there is a suitable place to do it in comfort and you have a laptop with sufficient battery endurance.
• You still need to decide how to get the results to the club. If you can arrange an Internet connection alongside the race team, you can publish immediately to HAL's Club Results Service and the resulting web pages can be viewed and printed at the club.
• Alternatively, you could print the results onboard and get them taken ashore by RIB, but in that case you might be better using Option 2.
• Or you could bring the results ashore at the end of the day, but competitors will get their results late and you might as well use Option 3.

Personal opinion. This option is elegant but risky without a very well practiced crew. The race team is often too busy doing other things to produce results, which will be low on their priority list particularly in difficult weather conditions. If you opt to publish to the Internet from afloat the communications link must be reliable and reasonably quick. If you opt to send results ashore by boat you will be at the bottom of the priority list for RIB time.
