Seems to be unsupported

I’m a National Race Officer and would like to try this program, but there seems to be no support. I belong to 3 different yacht clubs and manage races for all of them. Additionally I travel around the country managing races for various clubs. The program seems to require a specific club and I can’t find the option that actually lets you sign up as an individual. I’m sure that there are things that I am overlooking, but the fact that there is NO link to support other than FAQ makes me hesitant to even try the program.

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.

Triangle goes over land!

Can’t flip the marks to keep the racecourse in the water.

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. Cheers
