Makes a Mark Layers life easy
No more second guessing ROs or mucking with GPS .
Still requires the ability to drive to a course but reduces radio chatter and ends up less stressful for the RO.Register

Can’t flip the marks to keep the racecourse in the water.Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback, are you suggesting you'd like a starboard course on the triangle? Please feel free to contact us on support@buoy.zone we're always open to ways of improving the app for everyone.180 bearing same as 0 bearing?
Just tried this app as considering to use this next season for our PROs and mark-layers. Just trying to input a few things to see how it works. Firstly there is no link to contact the developer.?? Also I tried setting up a course with a 180 degree bearing for top mark and app is actually setting it up as a zero degree bearing. Similarly tried a 185bearing and it set up for 355 degrees. Would also be great to be able to set up a finish line gate at a 45 degree angle to starboard of the start boat so boats can finish on a reach and easier to detect sail numbers as they finish. But looks good so far and a great innovation. Keep going. CheersShow lessDeveloper Response
Hi there, thanks for the feedback, I would like to better understand you're issue, we've just released a major upgrade to the application, please check it out and you can contact us directly on support@buoy.zoneDoesn’t work.
Hello Rob. Can’t find another way to contact you so have to do it this way. App crashes immediately when I put in a 4-digit pin and hit Next. Using iPhone with iOS 13.3.1. Thoughts?Developer Response
Hi, apologies for the slow reply please can you try the latest version and let me know on support@buoy.zone if you have any further issues.Good, yet drains the battery
Great app, very handy for chase boats supporting a race officer. But it drains the battery within one race. Need to turn the app off after the course is laid to avoid your phone battery being drained.Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback, there is now a 10 minute max timeout on the screen to solve this issue. Any more feedback please send to support@buoy.zone.I love this app
Just used this app for the first time at the 2020 Australian Youth Championships at Sorrento, and it was superb. Simple and intuitive to use, it made mark laying fast and accurate even for inexperienced practitioners.
A couple of suggestions if I may which would assist the PRO;
1. The ability to display multiple courses simultaneously - this would help to deconflict overlaps between adjacent courses
2. A mode which displayed all race management boats on all courses, but not the mark positions. This would help to coordinate boats in a rescue scenario
Love your work - happy to discuss

Hi Thanks for the feedback, we've just released a major upgrade to the app, all race management boats should now be on the course with locations updated every 15 seconds. The multiple course setting is also a great idea, we've been discussing how this may work. Any further feedback is welcome at support@buoy.zone.
