    Posted: 26 Apr 13 at 2:24pm
Hi

I recently noticed that a member of our local club was using an app on his iPhone to calculate the race results and so I tried to find one on Android that I could use. There wasn't one(!) so I decided to produce one myself.

I've now finished it and it is available for free on the Google Play Store for anyone with an Android phone. Please search under 'sailing race calc' to find it. I would love to hear your thoughts on the app and any way that I can improve it.

The latest version has the complete list of RYA PY Numbers so that you can simply select your boat and then the PY is automatically entered into the calculation.

Thanks

John

Hi laser193713

That would probably be fairly straightforward to do, although maybe without the look-up feature since there seems to be over 4000 IRC numbers. Do you think that would be popular with people? Mathematically, the calculation is just the same without the 1000x element so I could probably do that quite quickly.

What do you think?

Thanks

John

If you could import a spreadsheet of your fleet with their IRC numbers into it then it would certainly be popular!

Hmmm, interesting!

How big are the fleets normally? Sorry for the questions but I am a simple dinghy sailor! I looked at the IRC list of 4000+ boats and thought - perhaps not built in like the PY numbers (77 boat types).

Thanks

John

Depends what race/series... potentially 50 boat fleets would be a good start? That would cover most sub divisions of IRC in round the island race etc, or at least your main rivals anyway!

That could be possible.

I'll have a look next week and see what I can sort out. At first I may just produce a simple one that lets you calculate the result from the time and the IRC and then provide a later release with data importing.

Thanks for your input.

John
