It looks like your kml is too large to be displayed by the default kml render 
on Google Drive. 

I will forward this issue to the appropriate team. In the mean time, you can 
consider manually breaking the Sailing.kml into two files.

Brilliant, I first reported this to the Google Drive team and they said I 
should contact the Tracks team. Talk about passing the buck!

Found this document.

https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/mapsSupport

Your kml file has 23817 coordinates, exceeding the supported limit of 10K. I 
will talk to the team to see if there is anything we can do.

Is there any intelligent reduction of the number of points in a Tracks 
recording? For example, if there are numerous points in a straight line are 
these replaced with just a single point at each end? Or when stationary, does 
it record multiple points at the same position or does it just record one 
location? And can you change the tolerance for uniqueness in these 
circumstances. (E.g. 50 metre radius = stationary.) Finally, if there is a 
limit of 10K points, which seems a bit low, why does Tracks create larger files 
and not split the recording if it can't reduce the volume intelligently?

We do reduce the number of points.

Splitting a file would make sync more complicated.

For now, open the file in Google Earth. I will keep this issue in mind. It also 
doesn't hurt to keep asking the Drive team to increase its limits.
