Sailing Race Results System

© James Bell 1995 - 2009

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

The program uses the RYA Portsmouth Yardstick (PY) scheme and works on the following platforms: Windows 3.1/95/98/NT/2000/XP/Vista and OS/2 or any system capable of running DOS programs.

Features:

  • Easy and straight forward to use
  • Small, efficient and will run on the most basic hardware
  • Automatic handicap completion for most classes
  • Countdown menu with 5 and 1 minute options (start time automatically recorded)
  • Supports Average Lap Races
  • 'TimeSheet' for assistance noting finishing times simply by pressing the space bar
  • Supports up to 200 Competitors
  • Shows the time difference between adjacent results/finishers
  • Fast: a minimum of sail no., class and finishing time are needed to produce results.
  • Results can be exported as HTML for the web, or CSV for use with other applications
  • Supports the latest RYA handicap system.
  • Supplied with the latest 2009 PY numbers for most classes

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.

The program is designed to calculate the results for a single race.
For series results Sailwave is recommended.
