Spinlock Rig vs Regatta Hero

The Rig-Sense App is a simple mobile application for logging rig settings on any sailing boat. By using this App you can store multiple settings, for multiple boats and share with the crew, training partners, classes, coaches and the rest of the world. The intuitive and easy-to-use interface of the App makes it easy for anyone to use and understand. You can log all sorts of information such as shroud settings and type of spinnaker for different wind ranges and sea states. Either start from scratch, import, or choose from the long list of preloaded settings available for most classes. Once added, logs can be customised to your liking for your optimum settings. Duplicate, import, share and delete your logs with ease to keep organised and up to date with latest settings. All the information is stored on your Phone or Tablet, so you can access your information anytime anywhere. For more information, please visit our website www.spinlock.co.uk

The app for participants and organizers of Regatta Hero regattas. The Regatta Hero system is particularly suited for club, fun, pursuit and training regattas. Handicap ratings are automatically applied in the race results or in the individual boats start time. The regatta participants have a smartphone on board that sends GPS coordinates and communicates all information. The app's data usage is approximately equivalent to streaming music or about 20-30 percent of what map apps consume in navigation mode per minute. For dinghies, catamarans, etc., the smartphone with the activated app is placed in the zippered pocket of the life jacket (possibly wrapped in a waterproof case). The app then communicates acoustically. With the help of this app, GPS coordinates are sent to the Regatta Hero system in real time. Additionally, the app receives all information from the race management (starting sequence with flags and acoustic signals, general announcements, race time, course shortening, false start info, etc.). The app supports regattas with PHRF, Yardstick, SCHRS, Texel ratings (and other handicap systems). Pursuit starts can also be conducted. The scoring is automatic and available shortly after the last boat crosses the finish line. Both Time-on-Distance and Time-on-Time scoring is supported. Any course can be defined. The regatta can be followed live and as a replay on the screen. The passcode necessary for operating the app is provided by your race director. For further information, please visit our website.
