Sail Racing
You can use the device to help you cross the start line of a race exactly when the race begins. When you
synchronize the regatta timer in the sail racing app with the official race countdown timer, you are alerted at
one-minute intervals as the race start approaches. When you set the starting line, the device uses GPS data to
indicate whether your boat will cross the start line before, after, or at the correct time to start the race.
Setting the Starting Line
1 From the watch face, select MOB > Sail Race.
2 Wait while the device locates satellites.
3 Hold MENU.
4 Select Ping Start Line.
5 Select Mark Port to mark the port starting line mark as you sail past it.
6 Select Mark Starboard to mark the starboard starting line mark as you sail past it.
