[sailwave] Staggered starts, with a single (elapsed time) timer for several fleets

Keith,

Thanks, that’s sound really great.

We just capture elapsed times from the first class flag which I then I enter as finished time and then enter the offsets as start time, so if it becomes too much work I am relaxed about that, as it works the same as what we do now.

We are in our off season so I have until the end of August to get thing sorted and then it will be some training to get people up to speed.

The biggest hurdle I see is being able to see the screen in bright sunlight without flattening the battery.

If we had the option to vary the countdown time (3 minutes or 5 minutes that would be great.

Regards JohnL.

Hi Malcom,

Really like your idea, Have you tried it, I couldn’t get to to change the times see http://www.gygsc.org.uk/Results/2018/RobbiesTestSeries.htm

The fast Handicap times in sailwave are 10:38 & 10:03 and remain unchaged I did try start various start times

JohnL - Robbie is currnetly working on Fleets and Rolling starts in the andriod App, its a lot of work for him, but he is enjoying himself. The above would possible have been a solution. Ps (App now has 3,2,1,go option) Do sign up for the UG as any feed back most welcome
