Sailing Race Results System - © James Bell 1995 - 2007

The Race Results System is a free MS-DOS program that takes the hassle out of calculating results for a dinghy sailing race.

Design Notes

All race timing is now done using 'time of day' to minimise errors. The software does not use an elapsed timer, instead the elapsed time is worked out from the time of the day the race started and the time of day each competitor finishes.

This program is designed to calculate results for a single race. For series results, Sailwave is recommended.
