Brilliant

Great app. Very lucky for us that someone took the time to develop this, and a must for anyone racing in Port Phillip.

Needs updating

Useful app but courses aren’t being updated

Secret weapon

If you aren’t using this app to race on Port Phillip bay you are at a disadvantage! Courses are all pre-loaded, select your race and start the timer. The heading to next mark, distance to it and a graphic of what the mark looks like appear and as you round it the next one appears! Brilliant!!!
