Spoken countdown timer.
Distance to starting line
Track view of covered paths. Colors indicate the speed.
Tips:
I advise to extend your screen idle timer. Also set Return to Clock to after 1 hour. Settings->General-> Return to clock
You can use bluetooth earphones if the volume is not loud enough.
Enable background refresh Settings > General > Background App Refresh
This app uses GPS and may impact the battery life. A 10-15% battery drain per hour is normal.

The following permissions are needed
Healthkit: To start a sailing workout. This is also needs to get timer updates and location updates when the screen is off.

I really like the app, would love to request some features.
Hi Pieter, I really like your app, but I race dinghy’s and we use a 3 minute start sequence. It would be great if I could adjust the start timer length.
