New Race Times App - Dinghy Sailing Race Control (DSRC) - Demo 26th April!
Published 22:09 on 22 Apr 2025
We will be demo'ing the app at 10:30 a.m. this Saturday 26th April as part of our 'Back on the Water' event and are inviting all of our current and potential OODs/ AODs to attend.
Some of the features we think you will enjoy include:-
- Portability - We've set the DSRC app up, on a 22" android tablet (which is in a waterproof case). The tablet comes complete with a leash and mounting bracket enabling easy use on the Committee Boat.
- Races are easy to set up with all of our sailors/ boats pre-loaded. (Plus it's easy to add new sailors/ boats).
- Pre-set start sequences Bluetoothed to the Committee Boat horn together with an audio/ visual countdown with visuals of flags to go up (or down) make starting simple.
- Recording boats lap times is done with a simple tap (the app will then sequence the boats).
- Likewise finishing the race is easy - on the final lap select 'Finish Open' then 'Shorten Race',- the Bluetoothed horn will sound 2 hoots, and as each competitor crosses the line, all you have to do is tap the app to record each boat's finish.
- Uploading to Sailwave and printing off results is trouble-free. Once all racers have finished simply click 'End Race', and then 'Results' and the app will automatically upload the results to sailwave and give you a set of printable results. Click 'share' and send these to the printer so that they are on the race box printer, waiting for you to post in the clubhouse.
- Then, to get ready for the next race just click 'Reset' to prepare the same list of competitors for the next race.
After use the tablet MUST be left plugged in, in the race box - ready for the next OOD.
We look forward to seeing you at the demo. If however you're unable to make it we've prepared a video tutorial below:-
