For those travelling as part of a flotilla, DSC Groups are a great communication tool. A great article from the CCA:

"Not just for safety anymore, DSC can be used to contact another boat for purely non-emergency reasons, such as finding other boats positions and automatically plotting them on your chart-plotter. Not only that, you can set your radio to be part of a “group” to send and receive alerts intended for a fleet of vessels. This capability may serve any fleet, be it yacht club, regatta, race or just a group of friends..."
