About

This is a yacht timer for course / short inshore sail racing with straightforward user interface for the quatix and MARQ Captain. The countdown timer view includes an additional flyback stopwatch. Furthermore there is a race compass view with race timer, SOG, COG, VMG, VMC and a heading assistant. This view is accompanied by line bias measuring and marks navigation views too. The activity track can be saved in a Sailing (nautical units) FIT file. Detailed description and manual: https://sites.google.com/view/yet-another-yacht-timer/yayt
