Race Records

“I have used Artie Means and Waypoint Racing for the electrical needs of my race boats for years. Waypoint Racing can set up the electronic systems including B&G systems, Inmarsat sat phone, lithium ion battery systems, and electric driven hydraulic winches. Waypoint Sailing is one of the rare marine industry companies that does what it says and on time. Artie and Nicole are simply the best! In addition, Artie is one of the best offshore navigators that I have used for ocean racing. Artie’s use of Expedition and ability to predict weather is invaluable. While there is usually something that goes wrong while racing with one system or another, Artie can fix nearly anything, all the while maintaining composure.”

Preparing for Newport to Bermuda

Racing

It's not too early to start thinking about the great race across the Gulf Stream. Peter Isler hosts a broad-based class that will include presentations from MWU's ace meteorologist Chris Bedford and veteran navigator and marine electronics wizard, Artie Means. Share the knowledge - invite your team - the more the afterguard, speed team and crew are involved - the better.

Artie's Interview After Setting Transpac Elapsed Time Record

Racing

Artie Means (second from left) navigated the Mighty Merloe to am all-time elapsed time record in this year’s Transpac. We caught up him for a brief interview.

Mighty Merloe’s 2021 Transpac Race Photo GallerySA: Tell people a little about yourself and what you do.
AM: I split my time with my business, Waypoint Racing, between wiring & navigating race boats. I’ve been lucky enough to grow up around SDYC and sail with D.C, Isler (who taught me to navigate), Rudiger amongst the other California legends. Our company sells what we use onboard, so it’s a good mix of sailing and real work.
