Perfect Point — The Essential Tool for Race Course Setup Perfect Point is built for race officers and course teams who need to place buoys accurately in sailing competitions. It turns your iPhone into a precise positioning instrument, so every mark sits exactly where the race plan says it should. • Multi-buoy management – save, name, edit and switch between every mark of the course in one tap • Accurate placement – live GPS bearing and distance to the active buoy, with optional inverse direction for run-backs • On-the-water position editor – big-button numeric keypad in DD, DM or DMS, made to be used on a moving RIB • Wind & current alignment – real-time true wind (TWD/TWS) and apparent wind from a Calypso Ultrasonic meter, with GPS course / drift correction • Real-time adjustments – update a mark's coordinates from your current GPS in a single tap • Start-line awareness – heading or wind on top, marks centered, big compass at the bottom for instant orientation • Share marks as plain text (name + coordinates) with the rest of the committee • Works without a wind meter too – falls back to a large GPS heading display • Apple Watch companion for wrist-side wind and compass Please note: full wind functionality requires the Calypso Ultrasonic Wind Meter. An optional WT9011DCL Bluetooth compass adds tilt-compensated heading. Perfect Point keeps your buoys, your wind and your course in one clean, glanceable display — so race management is faster, more accurate and less stressful.
