Here's how it works:
When you go sailing, take a GPS device with you whether it's a watch, dedicated GPS like the Velocitek, an action-cam with in built GPS, or your phone running a GPS app such as Strava (set to windsurf to get the speed in knots)
Along with some info:
Helm + Crew names
Type of boat
Location
Evidence - a screen shot or photo of your GPS
