I was talking to former and future skippers on the Golden Globe Race. They are allowed to use RDF and many took one and found it useless. This is a single handed solo unassisted circum navigation race around the great capes without GPS. So if there were Air NDBs or broadcast stations for a position line how would they use that? For example I was thinking approaching Cape Horn if you had had dense cloud for a few days it would seem to be handy?
