“Excellent a must have for any race officer”
“I have used this for the last month to set my course, it is simply amazing. You simply specify the type of course you want, input the wind conditions…which the app helps you with, set the time you want the race to last and voila…. Where it comes into it’s own is when the wind shifts, as it very quickly re-calculates where the marks should be – all the dinghy racers who are on duty now want to borrow my iPhone … Recommend you buy a waterproof case for the iphone first.”
iYachtCalc
iYachtCalc enables provisional race results to be posted as soon as the last boat finishes a race. It is recommended to use it in conjunction with your usual results software.

• Touch record finish button to log time as a yacht finishes then associated that time stamp with the specific boat OR …
• Pre-select approaching yachts from your database and touch finish button of the appropriate entry as they cross the line
• Set up races prior to the event with start time, and/or class and rating system if required
• iYachtCalc calculates the results for yachts in all applicable races and classes
• Finish times and race details can be added and amended at any time
List of finishers and race results can be emailed for printing and posting to competitors and for import to preferred race results programs.

SolentMet
SolentMet provides easy access to the data from four weather stations in the Solent area (the sea between the Isle of Wight and the UK mainland).
The data displayed corresponds to that shown on the ‘Chimet’ website and normally updates every five minutes.
A map displays the current wind direction and strength at the four stations and each can be selected to show all the latest data available for that station.
Further details in the form of 12-hour graphs of wind strength and direction, tide, temperature and pressure, visibility and wave height can be displayed (where available).
