Regatta Countdown Timer vs SailAlign

Would you like all the critical information about a Regatta start and fixed mark course on your wrist? This phone and watch app provides select boat instrument features on your phone and wrist via a paired Apple Watch. Includes relevant activities before the start signal (set pin and committee boat locations to define start line, start countdown timer and sync to committee boat time.) Also includes ability to manage waypoints on the companion iPhone app (click on the map) and sync waypoints (marks) to the watch for "GoTo" navigation during the race. Active mark navigation includes a layline assistant to help determine when to tack and fine tune your course. The iPhone app supports all watch features, works without a watch, and also includes a map to visually track your race progress. This application is NOT intended to replace GPS or other key navigational functions and should not be relied on as the sole source of navigational information. This app relies on the underlying GPS software provided by Apple, and may need several seconds to "warm up" for the most accurate GPS readings. See the support page for tips on getting the most out of the app.

SailAlign is the all-in-one sailing app for racers, cruisers, clubs, and race committees. Bring GPS tracking, regatta management, your sailing logbook, boat maintenance, marine weather, and practical seamanship references together in one clear workspace. REGATTA MANAGEMENT & SYNCHRONIZED RACE TIMER • Broadcast a synchronized countdown from the master clock • Set and share the start line and race course • Display official race signal flags in real time • Follow the fleet live and replay races later • Publish Notice Board documents and text messages • Manage teams, sail numbers, results, and race committee permissions AUTO RECORDED RACE TIMING With Live Fleet Tracking enabled, SailAlign prepares possible OCS, gate crossing, and finish time records for the race committee. Each record includes the team, time, course point, GPS accuracy, and supporting data. Nothing becomes an official result until an authorized race officer reviews and approves it. GPS TRACKER & PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS Record long sails reliably in the background, then review speed, distance, route, and animated replay. On-demand Performance Analysis shows your best 30-second and 5-minute speeds, moving-speed distribution, significant course changes, speed loss, and recovery. Import and export GPX files when you need your data elsewhere.
