Apps

Useful on the water

Three apps, all written because a race day needed them. One runs on a watch, one is a crew board in pilot at Hoover, and one is still on the bench.

• Race Timer

  Sets up a start on your watch and counts it down on its own, with nothing paired and no phone aboard.

  • Wear OS
  • Free
  • In testing

  What it does

• Tender

  A race-day board where a skipper posts the boat that is short and the people free to race hear about it, with a matcher that widens its own search when nobody fits.

  • Web
  • Free
  • Pilot at Hoover Sailing Club

  What it does

• Buoyant

  Race marks that motor to where you want them and hold station, so nobody spends the morning dragging anchors around a windward mark.

  • Android
  • In development
