Applications

Sail Racing

You can use the quatix to increase the likelihood that your boat 

will cross the start line of a race exactly when the race begins. 

When you synchronize the race timer with the official race 

countdown timer, the quatix alerts you at one-minute intervals 

as the race start approaches. When you combine the race timer 

with the virtual start line, the quatix measures your speed, 

bearing, and remaining time on the countdown timer. The quatix 

uses this data to indicate whether your boat will cross the start 

line before, after, or at the correct time to start the race.
