SailGrib RS helps you to take better regatta starts. The application includes a regatta stopwatch, calculates the distance to the line, the time to burn until the start and the best side of the line*. Time to burn: represents the difference between the time to the start and the time needed to reach the line if the boat keeps its instantaneous speed and course. A negative Burning Time indicates that the boat is ahead and will cross the line before the start. The time to burn is not displayed if the boat moves away from the line.
