That’s right–less than one can of air. In fact, Sailing Race Starts costs less than one third of a can of air. Even if you find a can of air at a rock-bottom sale price, Sailing Race Starts Pro STILL costs less. I’m not knocking the air though (I have one of these on my boat too), but I am pointing out what a great value Sailing Race Starts Pro is. You’ll have to connect it to some kind of amplifier system on your boat, but it can be used over and over and it never runs out. Sailing Race Starts can do a lot more for you than a can of air too. Just think of it–press one button to start the sequence and sit back and relax, knowing that the start will be perfectly timed....
read moreThe new SRS Ultimate sound system is now complete. This is the “ultimate” companion for the Sailing Race Starts app. While any sound system will work with SRS, this system is designed specifically to sit on the stern of your boat. It directs 1200 watts of sound to both sides and behind your boat. The Ultimate has a built-in PA system so you can easily talk to your sailors. Click here for more information about my portable...

read moreBoth Sailing Race Starts Pro and Sailing Race Starts Free have been updated to versions 1.9 and 1.3 respectively. For the nicest user experience, please get the most recent update by going to your app store (Google Play or Amazon) and clicking on the app. If you have a recent version of SRS, there are links inside the app, on the “About,” page to help you get to the updates.

Everyone will appreciated the ability to select their own favorite heads-up sound and time. Rolling starts are also something everyone can use. Oh, and that 5-minute voice start could be invaluable during your next race. Remember, the Pro version has all of this and much more! Thanks for downloading Sailing Race Starts. I hope you find it useful and enjoy using...
read moreYou can now download Sailing Race Starts from Google Play or from Amazon. While most Android users routinely download from Google Play, this should make things more convenient for those users who have a Kindle Fire or Fire Phone. I’ve also set up the links inside the app to make it easy to get the updates from whichever app store you use.
read moreI know people like to get things for free! I do too. So I’ve released a free version of Sailing Race Starts to allow people to try it out. The free version contains a limited set of features, but you will surely see how easy it is to run races using this app. I’m sure when you download it and give it a go, you’ll want to get the pro version, which of course, is the ultimate yacht racing starting system anywhere.

read moreI have just release Sailing Race Starts Pro. This version has been packaged better for commercial release and has a few little behind-the-scenes details like what versions of Android it targets, screen sizes, and adds the proper spacing in the app title. I’d like to think that I’m finished with the app, but if there is any way to improve it, I certainly will. Take a chance–download the app. Other start systems cost hundreds of dollars; this one will cost you very...
read moreI have put a huge amount of time into this app! If you’ve already downloaded it, be sure to get the latest update from Google Play. If you haven’t downloaded it yet, you will be delighted with the finished product! It is now as as polished as an app can be, with an easy-to-use interface, perfect countdown clock, automatic power management features to disable and re-enable your screen saver when appropriate, quick user presets to save your own custom start sequences, complete race signal reference from the Racing Rules of Sailing, and much more. Be sure to check out the screenshots to see the features and their descriptions. Sailing Race Starts is a great app and well worth far more than the purchase price. If you do sailboat racing, you will love this app. This app fills a very unique niche. There isn’t anything out there that even comes close. Please note, this is not simply a race timer. It is a race start system. You can actually depend on this to start real races with real sounds for real regattas. I welcome your feedback. If you can think of something that would make this app better, please let me...
