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

system capable of running DOS programs.

- Fast: a minimum of sail no., class and finishing time
are needed to produce results.

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.
