The number of people who will actually use this watch for its intended purpose is so incredibly limited that it sort of sticks out like a sore thumb for what it is: Another Omega marketing tie-in scheme. You could do the exact same thing in a match race with any SeMP chrono, and the added complication of the five blue/red dots is really a very limited addition to its functionality.
It IS a pretty cool looking watch, however, and the idea of balls to the wall sailing and an Omega Seamaster are certainly compatible.
That being said, I wouldn't trade my 2293.50 with a date on it for 5 colored dots and no date. In addition, the sailing I do is deep water offshore cruising, and wearing a watch like that would feel like wearing expensive leather driving gloves while driving my pickup truck - kind of phony and off-key.
In your search for another SeMP, you might want to seriously consider a 2293.50. It's Ti so it's 25% lighter, and the bezel is solid Ti with the numbers deeply engraved into the metal, so the markings can't be scratched off.
