Sailing – Regatta Timer

[surfboomerang]

@zweizudrei said in Sailing – Regatta Timer:

So your lap 1 is the way to the start and the regatta field and lap 2 is the 5 minutes before the starting gun plus the entire race to the finish? At the finish line you manually stop lap 2 to create an intermediate lap and subtract 5 min, which is your race time. At least that’s how it works

Correct.
If you are interested in race times, then you start lap 3 right after the finish. Your race time is then lap 2 (- 5 min).
If you’re not interested in the race time, you can leave lap 2 running until the 5 min start of the next race and then start lap 3.

@zweizudrei In addition to normal countdown it should have an option to sync to desirable minute by pressing up and down button. As sometime the race comity signal are off.

A sail racing timer has been added to the S+ store.

[surfboomerang]

@isazi Already available or after fw update? I can’t find it.

[isazi]

@surfboomerang I can see one of them in the S+ store, under watersports, but I would not believe it works before the firmware update.

[surfboomerang]

@isazi Then it’s probably disabled for the S9P. I only see “Direct Path” under watersport

[isazi]

@surfboomerang still testing it then, I am sure it will be available with the update.

Good job Suunto!

@surfboomerang A good job would it be to have a countdown directly in the sailing activity. I find it very stupid from suunto that 15 years ago had this feature in it’s watches and now we have to do workaround to just have a countdown for regattas.

@Oliviero-Conte maybe this being an s+ feature is just a stepping stone before its implemented directly into an activity? Better than to have nothing anyways.

@Oliviero-Conte not every sailing activity is a regatta…
