Sailing Race Results System
© James Bell 1995 - 2011
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 scheme and works on the following
platforms: Windows Vista / XP / 2000 / NT / ME / 98 / 95 / 3.1, IBM OS/2, or any other systems capable of running MS-DOS programs.
Please note: Windows 7 requires the use of Microsoft's Virtual PC software.
Features:
- Free
- Easy to use
- Minimal hardware requirements (will run on almost any PC, however old)
- Automatic handicap completion for most classes
- Countdown menu with 5 and 1 minute options
(actual start time automatically recorded)
- Supports Average Lap Races
- 'Time Sheet' function helps with noting finishing times: pressing the space bar notes up to 10 lap/finishing times on screen.
- Ideal for 2-50 boats, but supports up to 200 competitors
- Shows the time difference between adjacent finishing positions
- Fast: a minimum of sail no., class and finishing time
are needed to produce results.

use with other applications

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.
