Sail Race Time is a timer that makes calculating your yacht racing times a breeze. Simply enter the name of your boat, your handicap factor (TCF) and then click on green to “start”, orange to “mark”, and red to “finish”. Sail Race Time will automatically calculate your elapsed time and corrected time based on your handicap. You can then compare your handicap corrected time with a nominated competitor (or two competitors if you wish). You can even use it both during the race to see who is in the lead after each mark or at the finishing line. Calculating your race times just got even faster! Note: this timer app can cater for races which spans several days. The day / date won't be displayed but will be "remembered internally" at calculation time.
