Regatta Mark Tracker vs RegattaWatch 3

Race smarter. Regatta Mark Tracker gives sailboat racers real-time bearing, distance, and VMG to every race mark, a committee-synced start timer, and automatic race recording with full map and chart replay — on your iPhone and Apple Watch. Built for one-design and handicap racing, from club Wednesday-nights to championship regattas. WIN THE START A countdown timer you can sync to the committee horn with one tap, then it counts up after the gun. Optional voice announcements call the time so you can keep your head out of the boat. NAIL EVERY MARK Live bearing, distance, and Velocity Made Good to the next mark. A red/green port-starboard indicator shows which way to steer, and distance switches to boat-lengths as you close in. RACE COURSE AUTO-PILOT Build a course once — start/finish, your marks, and the number of laps — and let the app drive. It switches between the start timer and mark tracking on its own, advances as you round each mark, and resumes right where you left off if you switch apps or restart. DROPPED MARK (WINDWARD/LEEWARD) Set a windward or leeward mark from the committee boat in seconds: enter a bearing and distance, capture your position, and start racing. TACK PERFORMANCE See which tack is paying. Port vs. starboard speed and VMG are compared continuously, with a lift/knock indicator so you can spot wind shifts as they happen. RECORD & REPLAY EVERY RACE Your races are recorded automatically. Afterward, review the whole race on your iPhone: your track on a map, leg-by-leg splits, and full-screen charts for speed, course, and angle to the mark. APPLE WATCH COMPANION Everything you need on your wrist — bearing, distance, speed, and the start timer — with complications and notifications that open the right screen. Fair winds and following seas.

RegattaWatch is an easy to use regatta-timer designed for sailors and race officers. RegattaWatch provides an acoustic countdown in different languages (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Croatian) and a large, easy to read time display. You can start the timer at every full minute between fifteen and one. RegattaWatch displays the accurate time (radio controlled) in all views. This gives race committees the opportunity to have exact starting times according to the Notice of Race. For the sailors this display is useful for complete overview. Regatta Watch was created on behalf and under contribute of Sport Consult, Ing Mag Gert Schmidleitner. Gert Schmidleitner is one of the longest serving International Race Officers worldwide and well known also outside the borders of Austria. Caution Incoming calls don't interrupt the timer, but will make RegattaWatch go into mute mode and distract you from the starting process. User Guide On the left column of the start page choose the time after which you wish to start a race. If you want to carry out more starts one after another, you can set an interval in the right column. To start the countdown just tap on the button "Start". RegattaWatch now will countdown the time visually. The time will also be given acoustically. At first every half minute and, coming closer to zero, in shorter intervals. The times where flag signals are given will be announced in advance and will have a countdown in seconds. So neither the race officer nor the sailors won't be surprised by the signals. Important for sailors: if you have missed to start the timer at the first flag signal or if you have been a little bit too late with tapping on the "start" button, you are able to synchronize to the next full minute at the following flag signal with the button "SYNC". For sailors who do not want to hold the phone in their hands, the use of head phones is recommended. So you can keep your phone in a dry and safe place while using RegattaWatch.
