NAPY Support
Some time ago (years) when this app first came out I asked to help develop NAPY support. Though there was no reply I was surprised to see NAPY support. Thank you!
Being in the US there is no support for handicap dinghy racing at the national level (thanks for nothing USSailing). Appreciate the help from the other side of the pond.
There is a small learning curve with this app but it is easier than most.

Potential
Early indications look great for our club.
But if you could switch off the automatic start clock that would make things a lot easier as very rarely start bang on time etc. Would be amazing if you could turn off the countdown clock and just start the races manually when you’re ready.

Tried to use for a race but couldn’t figure it out
I tried to set up and run a single regatta with three fleets. The software is very limited and I couldn’t figure out how to do PHRF Time-On-Time corrections. It seemed to only do Time-On-Distance. And then when I tried to enter the finishing times for the boats after the race, it would only accept elapsed times, not the finish time. Thus, corrected times were not correct. I confirmed the error by doing a separate spreadsheet to calculate finishes. I have used Sailwave and like it a lot but I wanted an iOS solution for iPad. I may give it another try but it needs a good tutorial.

Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback, sorry to hear you are having trouble. Could you please email us with more details (you can use the Feedback link on the Settings page). To use PHRF Time-On-Time you would edit the Fleet and turn off the toggle that says Time-On-Distance. You also need to ensure each race includes the distance (in nautical miles). Our website at http://arcsail.com has been recently updated and has new guides. - Claire
ArcSail is great for us
Using this app is easy and setup not to bad. Worth a try. Gord Fulcher Starlight Sailing Adventures Sooke BC Canada
Crashes
Crashes every time I try to use it. I've tried it on an iPad and an iPhone. Same problem on both devices. Hope a fix is found quickly.
