About Sailing Race Starts Pro
Sailing Race Starts Pro is the ultimate sailing race starting system. It produces the sound signals to start races and voice countdowns for use on the racing yacht. The Pro version allows you to configure every detail of the starting sequence including the start type, heads-up sound, heads-up time, and rolling starts. It also includes a very cool 5-minute championship sequence in which a starting gun is used instead of the horn at both the warning signal and the start. It has not just one, but two, voice countdowns (5-minute and 3-minute). This complete set of features is only available in the Pro version.
Sailing Race Starts Pro is designed for all Android devices, works equally well on phones and tablets, and has many features! Here are some of them: 5-minute RRS Rule 26 horn starts, 5-minute RRS Rule 26 gun starts, 3-minute ISSA starts (high school), 3-minute ICSA starts (collegiate), 5-minute voice starts, 5-minute match racing starts, 3-minute voice starts, ISSA 2-minute and 1-minute starts (for practice), ICSA 2-minute and 1 minute starts (for practice), selectable heads-up sound, selectable heads-up time, rolling starts, individual recall, general recall, postpone up, general recall/postpone down, abandon, exact time race began, countdown timer continues in the negative after start to measure time after start and race duration, sound pad for finish sounds (beep and whistle) and all other other needed sounds, quick user presets, and visual cues for flags. All ISAF Racing Rules of Sailing race signals are shown and explained. Voice countdowns include an additional synchronize function.
Sailing Race Starts is the latest development of Dan Zwerg's proven start system. Dan Zwerg created the sounds and created the program to play the sounds. He is the Director of Technology and coaches sailing at St. Stanislaus College. His experience and passion for sailing in combination with his technology skills led him to put this project together.
You can use this app to start races, of course. Just connect your device to a loudspeaker system via wire or Bluetooth and you are all set. High school and college students can use an Android device and headphones to practice starts over and over. During an actual race, you can play a voice start on your boat synchronized to your race committee's sound signals. It will count down the time verbally, freeing up a crew member to do more important things. A race committee that is determined to produce sounds manually can use it as an accurate visual and audio timer with beeps at all the right points to remind you to get ready with the flags.
This is a premium app built by an avid sailor, sailing team coach, and race official. You will love it.

Sailing Race Starts is the best starting system for practically any kind of yacht race. This app will run your high school or collegiate regatta without tiring. Your yacht club race starts will be smooth and clear. This would even be great for RC sailboat racing. Everything about the start is configurable: The heads-up sound and time, the type of start (3-Minute, 5-Minute, high school, collegiate, Rule 26, match racing, etc), and whether or not you want rolling starts. You can select a particular number of rolling starts to match the number of divisions in your regatta. Best of all, there are 4 quick user presets to save your favorite start configurations. I'm using this on a Samsung Galaxy S 8.4 tablet and on an HTC One phone. It works perfectly and renders beautifully on both. I installed it on my wife's Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet too and it works perfectly, though I prefer it on a medium size tablet. This is going to change the way I run races for sure, and I hope it does for you too.

I installed it on my wife's Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet too and it works perfectly, but does not render quite as sharply on such a large tablet. This is going to change the way I run races for sure, and I hope it does for you too.

This is the only app I have found for a Race Committee that has a courtesy signal and rolling starts. All the watches start at the warning signal and other systems include horns and hardware and are over $500.
