Its some euro' Beergutometer, shows how much your gut stretches and what angle it hangs at after drinking 6,8,14,20, and 28 beers 
I knew an intellectual like you would make sense of it for me Spotty - in a lanuage I can understand.
Pure science mate!
lemme guess
with the wind at o/360deg.'s green boat-windspeed 6kts-90deg.run=9kts, red boat-wndspd 8kts@120deg.run=13.5kts.,blue boat-windspeed 14kts@120deg.run=17kts.,so on and so forth..correct me if am wrong, i wanna be like nebbian
Is that name really POXNT? !!!!!!! 
Must translate differently in the home language.........
Looks waaaay too flat to me..........
Where do they come from?
They ( Point-7) won the last Karpathos round of speed. However Jose Bahadour probably had more to do with that than the sails. Look like Pryde clones.
We will have to get on to Subi council to get one of these for the playground at Peli. Though I think the draught should be further forward..
OK. Poor choice of fonts if ever I saw it.
Yep, Italian...
Who rigged that sail in the photo? Was it from their website? I couldn't see it on the website. May be it is just rigged that way?
Hey Daffy , look what I found.
Rubberized wrist gps (with band extended). Sirf3. 60,000 trackpoint. Recording interval adjustable from 1 sec. Rechargable Li-Ion battery. Trackpoints downloadable in Nmea (and KML, CSV, Text, GPX or RMC format) plus many many more features at about half the price of a Forerunner. I note they say "water tolerable" rather than waterproof but being lower profile than a Foretrex it might be less likely to build up large water pressure than the Garmin in wipeouts. Looking at the files download it seems at least able to measure every metre so that's twice as good as a Garmin but probably not as accurate as a Navi.

Daffy , Point 7 sails are from Sardinia and are the work of Peter Munzlinger who used to be YES Sails . They have a young designer doing the graphics which are pretty bold and I quite like them although the wave sail with the James Bondesque chick on it sort of looks like something you see on the back of a truck. The black monofilm is interesting .
I had a Yes 12.3 Formula sail quite a few years ago and it was pretty fast but just stupidly big .
Hard to find a standard version now , most come with the heart rate moniter. Canyon seem to be a Soviet model (bit like Amyrillo= GT-11). So basically it is a Global-sat GH 615. The HR moniter model is 615M. Apparantly they have done a bit of a software update since being out for a year and in June they will introduce a new case/model the 625 which is rather garish. According to various testers, it is more accurate than the Forerunner in practice but not quite as user friendly on the PC in regards to laps and exercise stuff but fine for sailing. The waterproofing looks better from a design point. ie the PC jack rubber cap presses against your skin on the underside of the watch. Seems the price is C$170 or 89 Pounds for the HR version and a bit less for the standard. There are some Oz stores at $250+.

The UK option of 70 Quid (ex VAT) for the basic 615 may be best being A$144, but it would depend on the postage.
It would be great for skiing/snowboarding. Andrew I found this interesting..."The casio watches were disastrous in terms of GPS performance and I'm not even sure they still exist. Same problem with the Suunto. Like I said, the only watch with decent GPS performance and an actual "clock page" has been the 615 so far."

Good research Dave!
I am certainly interested in the skiing angle but I don't think it would be any good at all for downhill skiing. When I wore the Foretrex on my wrist whilst skiing it kept losing reception. Also hard to keep outside gloves coat and other clothing on the wrist. Experiments with the Foretex and GT-11 showed a significant benefit when wearing the unit on the top of my helmet. Only hassle is having to remove my helmet to see my top speed at the end of each run.
Have to say I find those point 7 sails kn ugly - try-hard kitsch in the worst possible way.
Ahh...... you didn't read deep enough into it Andrew. It comes with an additional long wristband for outside gloves wear. And as they said...
FIELD TESTING

GENERAL COMMENTS
After several days of testing on the runs, the GH615B proved to be a valuable tool with better dynamic response than the Forerunner 205 that seems to have more aggressive filtering, a typical example would be the speed that is updated faster on the 615B. While pretty large, it's possible to wear it throughout the day at least when you're in the mountains ;-)
The SiRFstarIII GPS module performs as expected with tracking in all outdoor environments including under heavy tree cover, as well as many indoor environments. In fact having a powerful chipset is especially useful in devices where the antenna has to be made as small as possible. Users of the Suunto X9 watch who struggle to get and maintain a fix will be appreciative of this.
ACCURATE TRACKS
Good news compared with the GH-601 that tended to inflate travelled distance measurements (probably not enough filtering of the "micro-movements"), the 615B now gives accurate measurements similar to those of the FR-205 and can be seen below the tracks are very similar
And from another review..here photographyontherun.com/wp/globalsat-gh615b/
"...The GH615B's default setting of recording one trackpoint per second will create a high resolution GPS track that will indicate almost every twist and turn of a trail..." and "...Although somewhat quirky, and not nearly as polished and feature-rich as the Forerunner 205/305, the GH615B did seem to do a good job of tracking my running routes, even in difficult terrain.."
By the way a couple of the Dutch C3 fin guys have moved from Naish's to Point-7

Yep, it still looks like it has a flat entry but this is the AC-2 and their top sail is the AC-1 Ltd.
I think that Point-7 looks a fair bit like a poor man's RSRacing.
A bit of batten sanding and a lot less out haul and you might have a chance..[}:)]
The AC-2 is only their 2 cam sail a well detuned version of the AC-1 which is the full race jobby
With out being too critical - how's the massive boom cut out!
What's that all about??
Catering for 4 foot Italians will catch a heap of wind in 30+ knots.
HotsailsMaui actually named a sail "GPS". Prize for weird leech and tack.
OK Answer to the flat Point-7. Saw a close up. It has a Mauisails mast in it. Andrea Cucchi (Point-7 designer) used to ride Prydes. They (Point-7) look like Prydes. You should never use a Mauisails mast (or old Gaastra or Fibrespar) in Prydes which are designed for stiff base/soft top masts. Whereas any mast Barry/Phil designed bends heaps down low and will suck all the shape out of a Pryde/Point-7.
Something different....here is an interesting idea. Is there a simple way of modifying RSpeed so as to record speed as altitude? Ok we can view the tracks in 2D in different colours but when they are crowded or you want to view in 3D on Google Earth having a Y axis showing speed may be a great way to visualize it. Or you could keep the vertical axis for acceleration...or both and select between the options.
Just so we all know who is getting wind and who is missing out!
Sorry Tassie, but B.O.M. thinks you don't exist
