adding 5 minutes to one fleet

Imported from Yahoo
1

I have two fleets starting 5 minutes apart. We use one timer so the elapsed time begins after the second fleet starts. When I enter using the sail num wizard I go down the list of elapsed times without concern of which fleet they’re in. Is there a way to automatically add the 5 minutes to the one fleet?

You could try setting the start times of the fleets 5 mins apart. 1st at midnight and 2nd at 00.05 and using the elapsed time on the watch as the finish time

For each race, create two starts, one for each fleet. 1st start specifies timing as elapsed, start time = -5:00. For the 2nd start, also specify timing as elapsed, but with start time =0.

Once you have done this for the first race you can use `Copy Starts' to set this up the same for subsequent races.

Hi Mike,

Just set the start times for the first & second races as

  • 1st start 000000

  • 2nd start 000500

    and remember to change from elapsed to finish time

    Kind regards,

    Huw

Thanks for the suggestions so far but I haven’t been able to get them to work. I should have mentioned that I use the ussa portsmouth numbers. I have multiple boat in both fleets resulting in corrected time in both fleets. The one fleet need to have 5 minutes added to each boats elapsed time.
Thanks
