Race Timer App - DInghy Sailing Race Control

This great app runs on a 12" Android tablet in a waterproof case. Please use the leash or mounting bracket when on the committee boat. Pre-loaded with all our sailors names and boats it's easy to select the competitors for your race by sail no, name or class. When you press start you get a 10sec lead-in followed by the warning signal so press start 10sec before a whole minute on the GPS clock. The app will count down, showing you which flags to get ready and sound signals are automatic through Bluetooth to the committee boat horns. As each boat completes a lap just tap its entry on the tablet where it will record lap times and calculate corrected time keeping the leaders at the top of the list On the final lap you can shorten to open the finish. The app will sound 2 hoots and as the boats cross the line tap them to record the elapsed time. When all boats have finished click End Race and then click Results and the app will give you a printable results sheet plus automatically save results for Sailwave. If you click Share you can send the results to the Printer so that when ashore they are available to post in the clubhouse. Click Reset to prepare the same list of competitors for the next race. Please always take the tablet back to the race box and plug it in (there is power on the committee boat if needed).

If you have an android phone or tablet you can download the free app here - (note it will have random flags and competitors.)
