Please take note of Start2Win, our new AndroidTM App. It helps to sail regattas with an optimal race start. The owners manual and download information can be found here: http://nosedowncomputing.com/index.php/start2win Best regards Johannes Burkard

Android App? Don't you realise anyone who is anyone in the sailing world sails Mac? Buck Up now and get your nose down Johannes! Then again, I guess 'Start to Win' it's an app for losers by definition.

Harsh harsh harsh.  I presume your first effort Graeme was somewhat more pointed. Ignoring anally retentive Mac users for the moment... It looks like a good little app. Well done chaps. |

tb, if you had a dry pocket and an earphone you could sync the start time, stow away your smart phone and listen to the information, which Start2Win gives you: The count down time will be announced, as well if you should speed up or slow down to arrive perfectly timed at the start line. |
